Manifold Primer

Posted by admin
Comment

  • INSTALLATION

    1. Mount the unit in position so that the float mechanism moves vertically and is at an elevation above the pump priming port.
    2. Use noncollapsible hose to connect the unit OUT port to the vacuum source, for example a tee fitting spliced into the vacuum line.
    3. Use noncollapsible hose to connect the unit IN port to the pump priming port, with the provided ball valve in between.

  • OPERATION

    1. Close the priming line ball valve.
    2. Close the pump discharge valve to prevent air being drawn through the discharge.
    3. Start the vacuum source.
    4. Open the priming line ball valve.
    5. When water enters unit, close priming line ball valve. (Water entering unit indicates pump is primed.)
    6. Start the pump and open the pump discharge valve.
    7. Stop the vacuum source then allow the water to drain from the unit

    *NOTE: If water does not flow from discharge, turn your pump OFF and repeat steps 2 through 5. When pump is discharging properly the priming line may be disconnected from primer and the engine providing vacuum turned OFF.

  • MAINTENANCE

      1. Chamber housing should be kept clean in order to observe the float valve.

    *If necessary, remove the unit and flush with water or a mild soap solution.
    *Do not use any harsh cleanser or chemicals to clean the unit.

    1. Use only soap and water to clean plastic parts.
    2. Do not tighten tie bolts or plastic dome more than necessary to provide seal.
    3. Keep the priming line ball valve closed when manifold primer/water trap not in use.

Power Primer

Posted by admin
Comment

  • INSTALLATION & OPERATION

    1. Mount the Power Primer securely to a plate on the engine or centrifugal pump.
    2. Primer should be high enough to allow water to drain back into pump suction line.
    3. Position the unit to provide easy access to lubricators, filters and mufflers.
    4. Install hand valve between the power primer and the volute of the pump.
    5. To start priming, open priming line valve and turn primer on.
    6. Watch for water to appear in water trap.
    7. When water appears in trap, turn pump OFF and CLOSE priming line.

  • MAINTENANCE

    1. Vacuum Pump requires occasional flushing. Remove pressure gauge and run 1/4 cup of flushing solvent (Gast AH 225 or equivalent) through pump.
    2. Brief warm-up may be required for pump to produce a vacuum.
    3. Perform initial inspection after 500 hours.
    4. Use engine oil with viscosity of SAE10 when refilling oiler.
    5. Clean or replace air filters as needed.
    6. Keep water trap clear of debris.

  • SAFETY & RECOMMENDATIONS

    1. Make sure that electrical connection is grounded.
    2. Do not operate primer without drive guard.

Hand Diaphragm Primer

Posted by admin
Comment

  • INSTALLATION & OPERATION OF HAND DIAPHRAGM PRIMER PUMP

    1. Attach mounting bracket to centrifugal pump or skid.
    2. Use non-collapsible hose or flexible tubing to connect primer suction inlet to pump.
    3. Install cut-off valve between the primer suction inlet and pump.
    4. Close cut-off valve immediately after priming.
    5. Make sure primer drain valve is closed.
    6. A cut-off valve should be used at the pump discharge to prevent air from being drawn through the discharge line while priming.

  • MAINTENANCE

    1. Remove any debris under the diaphragm after each use.
    2. Clear all fluids from inside the unit after each use.

  • TROUBLESHOOTING

    If DP is not priming the pump, check the following:

    1. Make sure drain cock is closed.
    2. Inspect check valve for blockage and free movement.
    3. Check suction side for air leaks.
    4. Call Protek Technical Support for additional help.

Exhaust Primer

Posted by admin
Comment

Normal speeds for small engines are usually higher than for large engines, therefore primers may be generally classified in four groups as follows:

  • INSTALLATION & OPERATION

    1. Use adapter to attach ejector to engine exhaust stack.
    2. Pump discharge must be closed while priming. This can be done by installing a discharge check valve or hand operated gate valve.
    3. Install vacuum gauge and priming valve on priming line, between the valve and ejector.

      4. *NOTE: Vacuum gauge should indicate priming rate of 18-22 Hg.

    4. After priming is completed, lay handle and brass cap 180 degrees from priming position to allow exhaust to escape.

  • MAINTENANCE

    1. Before every use, check the unit for accumulated build-up of dirt or soot from the engine exhaust.
    2. If vacuum gauge is not working, replace before using EP.

  • SAFETY & RECOMMENDATIONS

    1. EPs will not work effectively on single cylinder or two cycle (two strokes) engines.
    2. Installing a Tachometer on the engine to determine exact speed is useful.
    3. Line air leaks may prevent priming.
    4. EPs can be used on turbo engines, provided that the RPMs are kept between 1100 and 1200.
    5. This information is set forth in general terms for the benefit of distributors, but it is advisable that distributors provide appropriate instruction to their customers.
