PUMP PRIMING & STARTUP
Shallow Well Application Only:
CAUTION: All pumps must be primed (filling the
cavity with water) before they are first operated. This
may take several gallons of water, as the suction line will
be filled in addition to the pump cavity.
1. Remove the 1/2 in. priming plug with pressure gauge
and air relief plug. ( Fig. 1)

IMPORTANT: If the pump hums instead
of pumping or turns off repeatedly, shut pump off
immediately.
Check voltage. Make sure your incoming voltage
matches the pump wiring voltage. See wiring guide in the
instructions.
3. Replace air relief plug and continue adding water to
pump cavity until water reaches the top of the priming
plug. (Fig. 3)
2. Slowly fill pump cavity until water comes out of air
relief hole on top of the pump.
