Read this entire section completely before proceeding.
When all precautionary steps have been taken, the pump is
mounted, and the tubing is securely attached, you may now start
priming the pump.
1. Plug in or switch the pump on.
2. While the pump is running, set the speed knob at 80% and
the stroke knob at 100%.

3. 1/4 turn open the relief side (black knob) of the multi-func-
tion valve.
4. The suction tubing should begin to fill with solution from
the tank.
5. A small amount of solution will begin to discharge out the
return line of the multi-function valve. Once this happens,
1/4 turn or release the knob and SHUT THE PUMP OFF.
(If pump is not equipped with an on/off switch, disconnect
the power cord.)
6. The pump is now primed.
