Priming:
These are centrifugal pumps and so do not self prime. There
is a cap on the top of the manifold that can be removed to fill with
water and the pump cavity will hold the water due to the check valve
built into the inlet side of the pump. It is also advised to use a
suction hose equipped with a foot valve strainer. This allows you to
pump the hose and strainer in the water to force water to the pump, so
by keeping one discharge valve open while you do this you will be
alerted when the water comes out of the valve it is primed and you can
close the valve. It is at this point you can start the pump. DO NOT RUN
THE PUMP DRY as you can burn it out in about 4 to 5 minutes from
overheating. If you are not flowing water do not leave the pump running
without a slow bleed of water from an outlet to prevent the water inside
the pump for overheating.
