5. Thread in priming plug and then open optional ball

IMPORTANT:
If the pump fails to prime within
five minutes:
Turn power off at the breaker box and check all pipe
connections for leaks. All connections must be water
and air tight in order for pump to operate.
All piping from the well to the pump should slope
slightly upward with no sagging. Support suction
pipe between water source and pump. Unions in
the suction line near the pump and well will aid in
servicing. Be sure to leave enough room so that
wrenches can be used easily.
NOTE
: Look for leaks or a milky color in the
discharged water, which indicates an air leak.
Re-prime if necessary, following steps 1 through
6 above. Reset breaker at the breaker box. All
connections must be water and air tight in order for
pump to operate.
