Use the illustration and instructions to operate the
priming system using the push button switch.
Do the following when operating the primer:
•
Close all openings in the plumbing you are
priming.
•
Make sure all intake connections are tight.
•
Continue priming until a solid stream of water is
discharged
•
Prime a 1250 gpm or smaller pump for 30
seconds and 1500 or larger pump for 45 seconds.
An additional 15 seconds may be required for a
4-inch or larger intake. If your pump does not
prime in that time, verify that all openings are
closed.
•
Allow 1 minute of cool-down time between
priming intervals.
1 Once power is applied, the priming system is
enabled.
2 Press and hold the prime button until the
priming process is complete or the priming time
limit is reached.
NOTICE
• Do not prime the pump for
more than 1 minute.
• Operating the priming pump
more than 1 minute can
damage the motor or the
motor solenoid.
Priming Pump Damage
3 While priming, the priming pump begins
evacuating the air in the intake which is
replaced with water, this primes the water
pump.
