1. Disconnect the
outlet union and
separate the pipe.
2. Remove priming plug with
pressure gauge and the
air relief plug on top of
pump.
3. Slowly fill pump cavity until
water comes out of the air
relief hole.
4. Replace air relief plug and
continue adding water to
pump cavity until water
comes out the open
outlet pipe at the open
union.
6. Reconnect union on outlet
pipe. Open the ball valve
(turn handle to line up
with pipe), and then
turn on breaker to start
pump.
CAUTION: All pumps must be primed (filling
the cavity with water) before they are first operated.
This may take several gallons of water, as the inlet
line will be filled in addition to the pump cavity. The
longer the inlet line, the more water is required to
prime.
