EASY SERVICE DATA

Handy service hints

To maximize pump life, drain

pump after use and flush out

with clean, fresh water.

Read engine manufacturer's

owner's manual thoroughly

and service as recommended.

Store pump in a dry, safe loca-

tion when not in use.

If storing for long periods,

drain fuel from engine and

tank.

Buna N seals have been fitted

to enable pumping of sea wa-

ter and oily waste and diesel

fuel.

Aussie Seamaster pumps are

specifically designed to pump

salty water.

Pumping other

liquids may shorten life and

impact on warranty.

For a

comprehensive chemical com-

patibility chart contact your

Aussie Pump dealer.

Pumping water containing sol-

ids will prematurely wear pump

components, and may impact

warranty.

Ensure that the correct size

strainer is installed on the suc-

tion hose at all times.

Service/Installation hints

Systems requiring hydrostatic re-

lief valve.

Fitting a hydrostatic relief valve in

any installation should only be car-

ried out by a pump or installation

specialist. Such products offer lim-

ited hydrostatic relief. It is the re-

sponsibility of the installer to ensure

that the performance of the valve

meets the required application.

Hydrostatic Shock

Prevent hydrostatic shock by using

thick planking either side of the hose

where it crosses roadways.

Strainer Placement

Place strainer on bed of rocks or in-

side an old bucket. Alternatively use

a pontoon or float to keep pump

strainer clear of debris.

START UP AND INSTALLATION

When installing an Aussie self prim-

ing pump always remember that the

closer the pump is placed to the

source of supply the better the per-

formance will be.

To ensure maximum capacity select

a site that will permit the shortest

and most direct suction piping and

smallest vertical lift.

Set the pump on firm and level foun-

dations.

Connecting the Suction Hose

Use commercially available hose,

hose connector and hose bands.

The suction hose must be of rein-

forced non collapsible construction,

suction hose length should not be

longer than necessary as the longer

the suction hose, the less delivery

performance of the pump. Self prim-

ing time is also proportional to suc-

tion hose length!

Strainer should always be used on

the end of the suction hose to keep

solids out of the pump.

Check carefully to make sure there

are no air leaks in the suction line.

Connecting the Discharge Hose

Use a commercially available hose,

hose connector and hose bands. A

large diameter hose is most efficient.

Australian Pump Industries

Long, small diameter hoses will in-

crease friction loss and reduce pump

performance and adversely affect

performance.

Priming

Remove the priming cap at the top

of the delivery port. Fill pump body

with water and refit priming cap

tightly.

Open gate valve on delivery line if

fitted.

Never attempt to oper-

ate pump without prim-

ing first.

Extended dry

operation

will

destroy

pump seal. If unit has

been operated dry, stop

the engine immediately,

allow the pump to cool

before adding priming

water.

Hydraulic Shock

If the water flow is suddenly termi-

nated by closing a valve, without

stopping the pump first, it can cause

hydraulic shock. This can travel back

to the pump causing serious dam-

age. To prevent pump damage in-

stall a by-pass or safety valve.
