SET-UP OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
2. Connect the raw water adaptors and hoses as follows:
WARNING
Health hazard. Do not attempt to use product water hoses to handle raw water or
raw water hoses to handle product water. When installed with the proper adaptors
as directed, the hoses cannot be interchanged. Failure to observe this warning
and mixing hoses could cause contamination of water resulting in serious illness.
a. Collect the following hoses and adaptor assemblies:
1) One 2 in. x 6 ft., green-banded raw water discharge hose.
2) Two to four 2 in. x 50 ft., green-banded raw water discharge hoses.
3) One 2 in. x 10 ft., green-banded raw water suction hose.
4) Adaptor assemblies A-01, A-02, A-03, A-04, and A-05.
5) One 1 in. x 5 ft., clear plastic priming vent hose.
6) One 1 in. x 5 ft., clear plastic cyclone separator waste hose.
b. Inspect the gaskets in the female ends of the hoses. Replace any damaged or missing
gaskets.
c. Check the inlet, outlet, and waste openings of the cyclone separator for any foreign
matter that may have entered during transit and clear it out of the openings.
NOTE
When installing Adaptor A-01 the bolt on the check valve must be oriented in a
vertical position. Failure to observe this note may limit the effectiveness of the
check valve and result in an inability to maintain prime.
The support strap on Adaptor A-01 must be oriented near the top of the adaptor
and firmly secured to the pump frame to make sure air does not leak into the
adaptor. Failure to observe this note may result in a reduced pumping capacity or
an inability to maintain prime.
d. Attach Adaptor A-01 to the suction inlet of the diesel-driven pump. Loop the strap over
the pump frame crossbar and tighten to a slight tension.
e. Attach Adaptor A-02 to the discharge outlet of the diesel-driven pump.
f. Connect the priming vent hose to Adaptor A-02.
g. Attach Adaptor A-03 to the wastewater outlet of the cyclone separator and then attach
the cyclone separate waste hose.
h. Attach Adaptor A-04 to the discharge outlet of the motor-driven pump.
i. Connect, as needed, one or two 2 in. x 50 ft., green-banded discharge hoses to Adaptor
A-02 at the discharge outlet of Diesel-Driven Pump P-1 and to the suction inlet of the
Motor-Driven Pump P-2.
j. Connect, the 2 in. x 6 ft., green-banded discharge hose to Adaptor A-04 at the discharge
outlet of Motor-Driven Pump P-2 and to the inlet of the cyclone separator.
k. Connect, as needed to reach the MF Feed Tank, one or two 2 in. x 50 ft., green-banded
discharge hoses to the cyclone separator outlet.
l. Connect Adaptor A-05 to the end of the discharge hose that is coming from the cyclone
separator.
m. Connect the 2 in. x 10 ft., green-banded suction hose to Adaptor A-05.
