PUMP SET-UP
A submersible electric water pump is used to supply water to the polishing wheels as coolant and
lubricant. The pump has a flow control adjustment on one side and should be adjusted for maximum
water intake (Fig 5).

Insert one end of the 1/4" ID water hose over the water pump outlet (Fig 6) and the other end over
the barbed end of the water valve inlet (Fig 7). It is recommended that a 5 gallon bucket be used as a
water reservoir into which the submersible pump should be placed (Fig 8). The level of the reservoir
water should be monitored so that water the pump always remains fully submerged.

The pump should be plugged into the female receptacle plug attached to the back of the motor (Fig
10). Power to run the pump will occur once the power switch lever is placed in the ON position. The
pump should be operated in maximum flow setting. This will allow sufficient water to reach the three
needle valves that control the water flow. Do not recirculate drained dirty water from the reseviors
back into the water inlet under any circumstances.
