Components

Figure 3-B shows the location of the more components of the Dry Prime pump, The function of each component or control is described below:

16.Safety Chain – ALWAYS attach safety chain to the towing vehicle. NEVER tow the pump with the safety chain unattached! See towing section of this manual.

17.Towing Coupler/Ring – Attach this coupler to the towing vehicle. Use only the specified ball diameter as indicated on your coupler (2-5/16). Use of any other ball diameter will create an extremely dangerous condition which can result in separation of the coupler and ball or ball failure. A 3-inch tow ring is also available as an option.

18.Ajustable Tow Tongue – Tow tongue is adjustable by removing locking pin to adjust tongue length then reinserting pin to lock tongue in place.

19.Battery – Unit uses a +12VDC wet battery Group 31.

20.Engine – These pumps are equipped with either a Deutz F3L914 or F4L914 three or four cylinder air- cooled diesel engine.

21.Skid Lifting Bail –When lifting of the pump skid is required, attach a strap or chain of adequate lifting capacity to lift the skid.

22.Engine Control Box – Vandal proof (lockable) engine control box displaying engine guages, tachometer, tempertature, battery voltage, hour meter, oil pressure and ignition switch.

23.Document Box – Contains all documentation relating to the pump or engine.

24.Vacuum Pump Mechanical Seal Oil Reservoir – Oil level should always be maintained to the FULL level marked on the bottle.

25.Backflush Valve – Open valve to backflush wellpoints or to clean suction strainer.

26.Priming Tank Lifting Bail – When removing of the priming tank is required, attach a strap or chain of adequate lifting capacity to lift vacuum pump.

27.Pump Discharge – Attach discharge hose to this port. ALWAYS make sure discharge hose is securely attached.

28.Float Valve – Regulates and controls vacuum level during pump operation. Consist of self-aligning reinforced rubber hinge that doubles as a seal and a one piece welded float assembly.

29.PrimingTank – Vacuum system that creates a vacuum in the outer priming tank, drawing water in. Water drawn into the outer priming tank then flows into the volute, priming the pump.

30.Vacuum Gauge – Vacuum gauge for priming system. Monitors air discharge. Required when troubleshooting.

31.Fuel Tank – Holds 140 gallons (530 liters) of diesel fuel

32.Volute Inspection Cover – Remove this cover to inspect or clear the impeller.

33.Vacuum Pump – This unit uses a direct-drive 60 CFM vacuum pump to remove large volumes of air to obtain priming for the pump.
