PRIMING THE PUMP
1. Add water to the priming port on the pump.
SEE FIGURE
8
. Continue to add water until the water level is above the
inlet port of the pump.
2. Install the priming plug. The water in the pump will create
the suction that primes the pump.
NOTE: The slightest air leak in the suction hose will not allow
the pump to prime. The pump may take several minutes to
prime. Do not use this pump for suction lifts over 16 feet.
