PRIMING
6.1
The pump will prime and reprime providing the hair and lint pot bowl is full of water and
there is sufficient supply from the suction point.
6.2
If you lose water from the hair and lint pot bowl, it will be necessary to refill it before
starting.
6.3
Remove the clear lid and fill the hair and lint pot bowl with water. Replace the lid,
ensuring the o-ring is correctly located.
6.4
Ensure all suction and discharge valves are open before you start the pump. Operating
the pump with these valves shut can damage the pump.
6.5
Start the pump.
6.6
Allow a few minutes (maximum) for the pump to start delivering water.
