(with one valve
for each outlet)
Connect a bucket full of at least 3 gallons of water
to one side of the Y-fitting using a hose, as shown
above. (If available, a continuous water supply,
such as a spigot, may be used instead.) The bucket
must be positioned higher than the pump’s outlet.
2. Close the valve on the outlet side of the Y-fitting, and
open the valve on the priming side of the Y-fitting.
3. Remove the Priming Plug and wait until water
starts coming out of the Priming Plug. Replace
the Priming Plug and tighten securely.
4. To start the pump:
a. Open the valve on the outlet side of the Y-fitting.
b. Make sure your hands are dry.
c. Plug in the pump.
d. Close the valve on the priming side of the Y-fitting.
caution: do not run the pump dry!
turn off the pump immediatelY if water
stops coming out the outlet.
5. If you operate the Pump and no water comes
out, shut the Pump off IMMEDIATELY. Check the
pipes for air-tightness. Check also that the bottom
of the Inlet pipe is underneath the surface of the
water and a foot valve is properly installed.
6. After the pump is running properly, the priming
hose and bucket can be disconnected.
Storage
1. If you will not be using the Pump for an
extended period of time, drain the Pump
Housing. First disconnect both the suction
and outlet lines, then tip the pump so that all
the water is drained from the pump cavity.
2. If the Pump sits idle for a period of 5 days
or more, it should be unplugged and rotated
with a screwdriver through the middle hole of
the fan cover through several revolutions to
prevent it from taking a permanent set.
3. If you use the Pump only occasionally, when
you are done pumping, replace the Inlet
and Outlet Covers to protect the unit.
