PUMPING APPLICATION
Figure 6 shows a typical application using the Dry Prime
diesel-powered prime-assist pump. Please note that this
pump is intended for the removal of clean water and water
containing some debris and solids. Maximum size of solids
should not exceed 3.2 inches (81.2 mm) in diameter. DO
NOT set strainer on bottom of water bed.
Placing the strainer above the water bed will prevent the
pump from drawing in excessive amounts of sand and foreign
debris.
