Bypass Lines
If a system check valve is used due to high dis-
charge head, it may be necessary to vent trapped
air from the top of the pump during the priming
process. This may be accomplished by installing a
bypass line from the top of the pump, back to the
source of liquid. The end of the bypass line must be
submerged. The line must be large enough to pre-
vent clogging, but not so large as to affect pump
discharge capacity.
ALIGNMENT
The alignment of the pump and the engine is criti-
cal for trouble-free mechanical operation. See Sec-
tion E, Securing Intermediate And Drive Assem-
bly To Engine for detailed information.
