Priming Pump
Open all valves before starting system.
Release all air from filter and piping system. See filter owner’s manual.
When water source is higher than the pump, pump will prime itself when suction and outlet valves are opened. If water source is lower than the pump, unscrew and remove strainer cover; fill strainer and pump with water.
Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" each time it is removed.
Clean and inspect O-ring; re-install on strainer cover.
Replace strainer cover on strainer housing; turn clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTE: Tighten strainer cover by hand only (no wrenches) ¼ turn. Pump should prime. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe.
If pump does NOT prime within ten minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.
