Remove the plastic shipping plug from the ¼ inch NPT air bleed connection that is located
on the top of the valve body and install an air bleeder control valve that is controllable by
the pump operator. The discharge of the air bleeder must be directed away from the pump
operator position. If the Hale Air Bleeder Valve (ABV) is used, refer to figure 6 and do the
following:
