  CAUTION:  

All pumps must be primed by 

filling the pump cavity with water before they 

are first operated. This may take several gallons 

of water, as the entire inlet line will be filled in 

addition to the pump cavity. The longer the inlet 

line, the more water is required for priming.
1.  Disconnect the 1-1/2 in. outlet union and 

separate the pipe.

2.  Remove the air relief plug on top of pump and 

the 1-1/4 in. priming plug with pressure gauge 

or plug. Refer to Pump Preparation Step 5

.

3.  Slowly

 fill pump cavity until water comes out 

of air relief hole on top of the pump.

4.  Replace air relief plug and continue adding 

water to pump cavity until water comes out of 

the open outlet pipe at the open union.

5.  Wait 10 minutes to see if water level drops 

below the pipe tee. If level drops, check foot 

valve. If level stays constant, replace the 

priming plug.

6.  Reconnect 1-1/2 in. union on outlet pipe. 

Open the ball valve (turn handle to line up 

with pipe), and then turn on breaker to start 

pump.

  IMPORTANT: 

 If the pump fails to prime 

within five minutes:

7. 

Turn the power off at the break box. Check 

all pipe connections for leaks, making sure 

all connections are water and air tight. 

Check the inlet pipe for any sagging, making 

sure the inlet pipe is in a straight line to the 

pump. Watch for leaks or a milky color in 

the discharged water, which indicated an air 

leak. Re-prime if necessary, following steps 

1 through 6 above. Reset breaker at the 

breaker box.

  IMPORTANT: 

 If the pump hums instead of 

pumping or turns off repeatedly, shut pump off 

immediately. Check voltage. Pump is wired to 

run on 230 volts. If the pump cuts out or stops, 

you may be attempting to connect to 115 volts. 

See PUMP ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS to 

see how to correctly change the motor voltage to 

115 volts.
