Pump Level
1. Fill the supply tank with liquid and open the supply line (suc-
tion) valve (see Figure 9, item A).
2. Open the discharge valve to vent any air trapped in the sup-
ply line or casing (see Figure 9, item C).
3. Resume the “Starting the Pump” procedure on page 17, at
step 3.

level. If the liquid supply is below the pump level, provide an out-
side source for priming.

the air vents.
2. Open the valve in the outside supply line (see Figure 10, item
A) until liquid flows from the vent valves.
3. Close the vent valves.
4. Close the outside supply line.
NOTE: U
se a type of check valve system (see Figure 10, item B)
to keep the supply line and pump casing flooded with liquid;
oth
erwise the pump must be primed before each operation.
5. Resume the “Starting the Pump” procedure on page 17, at
step 3.
