Priming

Two possible priming methods include:

Priming method 1

Priming method 2

Regardless of the method chosen, we recommend:

• before starting your system that the isolating ball valves before and after your system are closed
• the internal service valve is closed as well
• carefully open the lid of both the grey and blue filter; both should be full of fuel
• if they are not completely full, please top them up at this point
• re-attach the lid
• re-open the central service valve
• re-open the isolating ball valves before trying the system

NOTE; A loud noise from within the system, or a rapid increase in temperature at the pump head are indications of a lack of fuel flow. In either case, please stop the system immediately to avoid damage, and repeat the priming procedure.

If you have the optional flow sensor attached, the system will tell you. If you do not have the optional sensor, please refer to the “User area and password system” section of this manual to found out how to setup the system to achieve basic fuel flow sensing system.

1. Ensure power is switched off to the system
2. Close the isolating valve on the output side of the system (above left)
3. Open the isolating valve on the input side of the system (above right)
4. Open the lid of the grey filter and the air bleed on the top of the blue filter
5. Fill the fuel polishing system and input pipe work (up to the non-return valve) with fuel. The blue filter will not completely fill, however that is not an issue; the pump, grey filter and all input pipe work however should be full
6. Replace and tighten the grey filter lid and close the air bleed on the blue filter
7. Re-apply power to the system
8. Keep one hand on the closed isolation valve on the output side
9. Start the system in manual mode
10. Immediately and slowly, open the isolation valve on the output side while the pump is running. This ensures venting and pressure build-up during start up.

CAUTION: The discharge isolating valve must be opened immediately after starting the system. Otherwise the pump head may be damaged.

NOTE: If it is difficult for the pump to build up pressure, it may be necessary to repeat steps 1 to 10.

Environmental note

If your system is to be installed and operated in corrosive environments, for example near to the coast, or in extreme weather conditions, we recommend regular checking and treatment of all metal parts. Although stainless steel and treated steel have been used in the constriction of your system, water and corrosive elements can case contamination which may in some circumstances damage the surface oct her system.

To avoid this, we recommend regular periodic inspection of the system, for example a monthly check; although the frequency may need to be altered depending on the environment experienced. We also recommend protecting all metal surfaces with a suitable degreaser or water repellent protective oil such as WD40 or NanoShell metal, regular repeated treatment may be required to maintain the prising condition your unit was supplied in.
