Attach a length of hose to the hose tail on the drain valve and put the other end to drain. Then, using
the cap off the isolation valve, open the drain valve:

Locate the bleed screw on the pump. The following diagrams show examples of typical bleed screw

Do not use excessive force when tightening the bleed screw as this may damage the
pump casing.
