CAUTION!
Avoid pressure when using the quick fill attachment. The rubber
plugs installed in the manifold may be forced out under pres-
sure.
The discharge manifold must be in the forward position
when the pump is in operation. Squeeze Pumps are
shipped with the discharge manifold in the rearward or
non-operating position. To reposition the manifold, loosen
the wing nuts and slide the manifold forward and sideways
or rearward as required and retighten nuts. See
Figure 2-10.

Shut-off valves provided at various locations should be
closed to shut off flow when the planter sets overnight or
for extended periods of time. It is also important to close
the tank valves whenever service on the pump or hoses is
being performed. To prolong the life of the hoses in the
squeeze pump, the discharge manifold must be reposi-
tioned to the rearward position when not in use to prevent
hose distortion. See Figure 2-11.
