REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying Multiquip at 1-800-421-1244.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or
Multiquip.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153), go to http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov; or write to:

SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!

Safety precautions should be followed at all times when
operating this equipment. Failure to read and understand the
Safety Messages and Operating Instructions could result in
injury to yourself and others.

NOTE

This Owner's Manual has been developed to provide
complete instructions for the safe and efficient operation
of the Multiquip Model
engine manufacturer's instructions for data relative to its
safe operation.

Before using this trash pump, ensure that the
operating individual has read and understood all
instructions in this manual.

SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you
about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The
Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to
the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION.

Dry Prime Pump

. Refer to the

HAZARD SYMBOLS

Lethal Exhaust Gases

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and

odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a confined

area or enclosed structure that does not
provide ample free flow air.

Explosive Fuel

DIESEL fuel is extremely flammable, and its
vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO
NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or

combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or

sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in
approved containers, in well-ventilated areas
and away from sparks and flames. NEVER
use fuel as a cleaning agent.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

■

NEVER pump volatile, flammable or low flash point fluids.
These fluids could ignite or explode.

■

NEVER pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic
substances. These fluids could create serious health and
environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for
assistance.

NEVER open the volute cover during operation or start the

pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump
can cut or sever objects caught in it.

■

NEVER block or restrict flow from discharge hose. Remove

kinks from discharge line before starting pump. Operation
with a blocked discharge line can cause water inside pump to
overheat.

■

NEVER run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine damage

may occur.

■

ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in
Operator’s Manual before attempting to operate equipment.

■

ALWAYS be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety
precautions and operations techniques before using pump.

■

ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used.
Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the

Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Examples of potentially
hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.

DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dispose of
hazardous waste.

DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground,
down a drain or into any water source.

The pump has an operating weight of 3180 lbs. (1,442 kg) or
more . Use lifting equipment with a rated capacity of at least
14,000 lbs. (6,350 kg). Remove suction & discharge hoses/

SOUND MEASUREMENTS

The required sound specifications, per Appendix 1, paragraph 1.7.4.f of the EC-Machine
Regulations, are defined as follows:

The sound pressure level at the operator's location (L) = 87 dB (A)

The sound power level (L) = 97 dB (A)

These sound values are determined according to ISO 3744 for the sound power level (L)
and ISO 6081 for the sound pressure level (L) at the operator's location.

The sound measurements were obtained with the unit operation on pavement at nominal
speed.

PAGE 16 —DRY PRIME PUMP — OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #3 (10/06/08)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Multiquip Dry Prime pump is a prime dry and prime­assist pump that can handle dewatering, sewer bypass, and
wellpoint applications.

The Dry Prime pump uses a vacuum pump to remove the
air. This becomes important in certain applications such as
long suction hose runs or multiple suction points (such as
wellpoints). In these cases, high volumes of air enters into
the pump. Dry Prime uses direct-drive vacuum pump to
efficiently remove very large volumes of air quickly to obtain
the priming necessary for these special applications. Dry
Prime is very useful when you have to move a lot of water
fast.

Impeller

The Dry Prime impeller has a patented design to eliminate
cavitation. It is a 2-blade spiral, smooth flow, open, non-clog
impeller, designed to handle up to 3.2-inch solids. The impeller
pulls water directly into the pump from the priming tank,
reducing friction losses, and then pushes it out the volute
discharge. This design does not cause turbulence normally
found in centrifugal pumps.

Wear Plate

In conjunction with the impeller, the wear plate gives a perfect
match for great pump performance and durability. The wear
plate can be fully adjusted up to .6 inch (15mm) for wear.

Priming System

The vacuum system is innovative, simple, yet rugged and
dependable. I uses direct drive which means no belt failure
and with only one moving part, means no maintenance. It
uses liquid-ring design with a closed water system. Separate
oil bath lubrication for the seal and bearings with oil reservoir,
can run dry without damage. It operates quietly with no
pollution or unwanted discharge noise.

Float and Backflush (Priming Tank)

The priming tank float is a one-piece welded construction,
rubber valve seat, self-aligning rubber hinge. This design
increases reliability. The backflush valve allows for cleaning
of the suction strainer or wellpoint headswhile the engine is
running.

Fuel Tank

Run time is up to 72 hours with the Dry Prime’s fuel tank,
good for continuous running for those long-term jobs. There
are two corner fuel drains to check condition of fuel. The
TrackBar system allows for the easy addition of jack stands,
fenders, axle, lifting bail, and other options. This allows for
fast and easy positioning of the jack stands on the job site
to fit the application, or to add subtract jack stands as
required. The removable, retractable towing tongue minimizes
storage requirements.

Volute

The pump volute has an external inspection cover to inspect
or clear the impeller. The pump shaft bearings and
mechanical seal are run in independent oil baths for low
maintenance.

LOFA Engine Control Panel

Vandal protected panel that provides engine status and shut­downs in the event of low oil pressure, high engine heat,
and alternator belt breakage. Optional auto-start module with
floats can be added for automatic start-stop of pump engine
and pumping operation.
