Priming The Pump; Starting The Pump - Imer Group MECA 25 D Manuel D'utilisation

5.1. PRIMING THE PUMP

Your pump is a self-priming pump. A self-priming pump raises the water by its own means into the
suction pipe by pumping the air therein. For self-priming to work, there is no need to fill the pump
body with water before starting.

5.2. STARTING THE PUMP

□ Check that the suction pipe is properly connected to the suction port;
□ Check that the discharge pipe is properly connected to the discharge port;
□ Check that the suction hose is equipped with a strainer;
□ Check that the suction pipe is correctly positioned in water;
□ Check that the suction and discharge hose are free of bottle necks or bends.
