Self-Fill Mode:
Your hose must be connected to the bottom left camlock and
your valves need to be in the configuration shown when you are using the pump
on your sprayer to self fill from a holding tank. A common mistake made here is
that the tank valve (back left) gets left open, this won’t allow the pump to prime
as it will be sucking air from the tank. The other common mistake when self filling
is that the Agitation valve (top right) gets left closed. The system will still fill this
way as the valve has a hole that allows constant flow through the valve even
when closed (to protect the pump from being deadheaded) but it will take an
exceptionally long amount of time through that bypass. If the tank you are pulling
liquid from is lower than the height of the pump, you may have to prime the pump
by unscrewing the top cap on the pump and allowing the air out of the system. In
some cases you may need to fill the pump housing with liquid to purge the air
fully. Most of the time when filling from a bulk storage tank, this is not an issue,
especially if the fill hose is pre-charged with liquid.
