PUMP PRIMING AND STARTUP
3. Be sure entire suction pipe is filled when
priming. Depending on the length of suction
pipe, many gallons will be needed to fill the
entire system.
4. Check to be sure water in the cavity of pump
(A) stays constant. If water level goes down,
it could indicate a leak in the foot valve,
check valve or suction pipe.
5. Once pump (A) is filled, wrap the pressure
gauge or discharge tee plug and vent plug
threads with thread tape and thread into
pump (A). Tighten with wrench.
NOTE: Before turning on breaker, open several
outlets or faucets to allow water flow during
priming.
