4.3 Before Starting

See Graphic: wc_gr000835

4.3.1 Read safety instructions at the beginning of this Operator’s Manual.

4.3.2 Place pump as near to water as possible, on a firm, flat, level surface.

4.3.3 To prime pump, remove prime plug (a) and fill pump housing with

water. If the pump housing is not filled with water before starting, it will

not begin pumping.

Do not open priming plug, discharge plug, or loosen hose fittings if

pump is hot! Water or vapor inside pump may be under pressure.

4.3.4 Check for leaks between pump and engine. If water is leaking, the seal

inside pump is worn or damaged. Continued operation may cause

water damage to engine.

4.3.5 Check that hoses are securely attached to pump. Suction hose (b)

must not have any air leaks. Tighten hose clamps (c) and couplings

(d). Check that discharge hose (e) is not restricted. Lay hose out as

straight as possible. Remove any twists or sharp bends from hose

which may block the flow of water.

WARNING

Operation PG 2A/3A

20 wc_tx000177gb.fm

4.6 Operation

Pump should begin pumping water within a minute depending on

length of suction hose and height of pump above water. Longer hoses

will require more time.

If pump does not prime, check for loose fittings or air leak in suction

hose. Make sure strainer in water is not blocked.

Run engine at full speed while operating pump.

4.6.1 Do not pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic

substances. These fluids could create serious health and

environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for assistance.

4.7 Hoses and Clamps

See Graphic: wc_gr000836

Suction hoses (a) must be rigid enough not to collapse when pump is

operating.

Discharge hoses (b) are usually thin-walled collapsible hoses. Rigid

hoses similar to those used as suction hoses may also be used as

discharge hoses.

Note: Suction and discharge hoses are available from Wacker

Neuson. Contact your nearest dealer for more information.

Two clamps (c) are recommended for connection of suction hoses to

inlet coupling.

Note: This connection is important. Even a small air leak on the suction

side of pump will prevent the pump from priming.

For other hose connections, one T-bolt or worm-gear-type clamp is

usually sufficient to hold hoses in place. In some cases, slight

variances in hose diameters may make it necessary to add more

clamps in order to maintain tight connections.
