Priming the Duplex Fuel Oil Package:
1. On the Control Panel make sure both the Main Disconnect “ON-OFF” switches are in the
“OFF” position (power off).
2. Take a look at the suction gauge to see if there is any pressure on the suction line. If there
is pressure and the application is not a flooded suction the suction line is pressurized.
Carefully remove the drain plug from the basket strainer to release the compressed air.
3. Turn the four ball valves connected to the pressure gauges (suction & discharge gauges)
to closed position.
4. Remove the thumbscrew from top of the lid of the basket strainers, rotate the lid counter
clockwise until the pin hits and stops, and then remove lid.
5. Open the suction valves.
6. Fill the strainers with diesel (the suction valves should be in open position, as you fill one
strainer the liquid level will flow in the other strainer).
7. Reinstall the lid with the tab of the lid just to the left of the boss with the body, rotate the lid
clockwise until the holes line up, and reinsert the thumbscrew.
8. Both the suction and discharge ball valves should be in open position.
