How Do You Prime CAT Injector Pumps?
CAT PUMPS is one of the most well known pump manufacturers in the world, supplying pumps for industrial grade use, heavy duty construction equipment, and smaller commercial home maintenance tools. CAT pumps can be found in power washers that are used to clean siding on houses as well as other outdoor surfaces. For best results while using equipment with a CAT pump, be sure to prime the pump before you start. Remove all attachments, such as nozzles or “guns” that are used to direct the flow of liquid from the pump. Start the pump as directed in your user’s manual and wait for the liquid to flow smoothly and steadily past the pump discharge. You may see some sputter at first as it ejects any air that may have been trapped from its last use. Wait for a steady flow before proceeding. Attach the flow discharge accessory needed complete the job at hand, such as the gun or other nozzle. Set the pressure control and use as directed.
