Electric priming
system • NO recommended engine speed is required to operate the elec-
tric primer. However, 1,000 engine RPM maintains the electrical
system while providing enough speed for initial pumping opera-
tions. Also see heading “Priming Valves” on page 22.
Defective priming
system • Check the priming system by performing a “Dry Vacuum Test” per
NFPA standards. If the pump holds vacuum, but primer pulls less
than 22” Hg, it could indicate excessive wear in the primmer.
• Also see heading “Priming Valves” on page 22.
• Repair and/or replace accordingly.
Suction lifts too high • DO NOT attempt lifts exceeding 22 feet (6.7 meters) except at low
elevation.
