6.
Remove the 1/4’’ NPT plug from the siphon outlet port and attach siphon system tubing.
Before installing pipe threads, apply an adequate amount of fresh, UL classified for
petroleum, non-setting thread sealant. Apply sealant in a manner that prevents it from
entering and contaminating hydraulic cavities.
7.
Turn the service screw counterclockwise all the way up. As the screw approaches its top position, the check
valve will drop into position.
8.
Replace the protective plug over the service screw and fully thread into place to ensure a good seal.
9.
Turn the air purge screw 2 - 3 turns counterclockwise (see Figure 20).
The air purge screw is retained by a hitch pin to limit travel. Do not attempt to rotate
beyond 3 turns.
10. Turn the pump on and let it run for about 2 minutes to purge air from the manifold’s hydraulic cavities. While
the pump is still running, turn the air purge screw clockwise until it is completely closed.
11. If applicable, open the ball valve down line from the pump.
