the Day Tank. If the Day Tank is not equipped with a hand pump, 
remove the tank inlet priming tee plug and fill the entire  inlet line 
with  fuel.  Replace  the  tee  plug.  Energize    the    Day    Tank 
pump/motor      by  placing  the  Day  Tank  mode  selector  switch  in 
the automatic position. Ensure  that  fuel  is  exiting  the   pump 
by  watching  the  clear  pump  outlet  tubing.  If  not,  repeat  this 
procedure  and  prime  the  pump  also  at  the  pump  priming  tee. 
Make  sure  all  unused  Day  Tank  holes  are  plugged,  all  pipe 
connections  are secure and  no  leaks  are  present.  The  Day 
Tank  is  now ready for unattended automatic  operation.  If 
the Day Tank has been stored for extended periods of time 
pre-lube the pump with oil at the pump priming tee.
