If you are using a Direct Injection configuration, you must prime the Injection Pump each time you flush
or refill a tank, or change products. This ensures that air is not in the product lines.
CAUTION: Failure to perform this priming procedure before beginning a Direct Injection application could
result in skips at the start of field operations.
1. Press the Prime button
To prime the Injection Pump, first go to the Rate Screen and press
the Flow/Main Pressure active area on this screen, as shown.
Press the Prime button.
• You may agitate the Direct Injection tank by pressing the Agitate
button. Once pressed, this Agitate setting will continue even after
the Priming process is finished, until you press the green check
mark button a second time. To determine if a product should be
agitated, check the product specifications.
• In order for a Direct Injection tank to agitate the product, you must set the agitator motor switch on Run
(which agitates the product continuously) or Pulse (which agitates the product intermittently).
2. Acknowledge the Warning
A warning appears, stating that you must circulate the product back to the Direct Injection tank.
Acknowledge the warning by pressing the green check mark button.
3. Start Pump and Set Desired Speed
The Injection Pump Prime screen appears. The countdown time
remaining is shown in the black box. The bar underneath turns
green when the pump is operating. Use the up and down arrows to
manually increase or decrease the pump speed.
Note: The recommended priming time is three minutes (3:00), but the routine can be ended at any time by
pressing the green check mark button.
4. Acknowledge the Warning.
A warning appears, stating that you must return chemical injection plumbing to a field-ready state.
Acknowledge the warning by pressing the green check mark button.
