STANDARD MATERIALS
Cast iron body and counter
flanges: brass wings, valve box
& valves: steel spindle.
REGULAR USE
Iron pumps dealing with water
should be used daily to prevent
the formation of rust. If not
possible a brass pump is advised.
COLOURS
Standard double acting pumps
are suitable for water and
petrol and are painted green.
ANTI-FREEZING
In frost remove plug in front
cover, operate handle a few
times and leave handle at full
stroke to right.
SUCTION LIFTS
When supplied for pumping
water, petrol or paraffin, a
suitable foot valve and strainer
should be fitted at the bottom of
the suction pipe. The pumps are
then satisfactor y for a ver tical
suction lift of 6.1 meters (20
feet). W ithout a foot valve,
wing pumps are only satisfactor y
for very short suction lifts.
CAPACITIES
The listed capacities are based
on a suction lift of 0.9 metre (3
feet) and deliver y of 0.9 meters
(3 feet). As the lift increases so
the effor t required to operate
increases. If the pump is to be
worked for a fair length of time
the effort may not be maintained
and customers are advised to
assume an output of about two-
thirds of the listed figures.
