Be sure the pump and intermediate are secure to
the engine and the base.

Install the suction and discharge lines and open all

lubricated, see LUBRICATION.

Before starting the pump, fill the pump casing with
clean liquid. Reinstall the fill plug and tighten. (see

with No. 2 lithium base grease until grease es­

counterclockwise until it is at the top of the stem;
this will release the spring to apply grease to the
seal (see Figure 6).
