Priming:

liquid and vented.

Remove the priming plug in the pump sleeve. (See Plug drawing).
Slowly open the suction valve (See System Design drawing), in the inlet
pipe until a steady stream of liquid runs out of the priming port.
Warning : The escaping liquid may be very hot. Therefore, care must be
taken to ensure that the liquid does not cause personal injury or
damage to other components
.

Replace priming plug and tighten securely.

Start the pump and slowly open the discharge valve until it is fully open.
