All pump models using the supplied 34” (865mm) suction tube
should prime within 10 seconds after pump is turned on.
Pumps installed at a height upto 5’ (1.52 m) may have diculty
in priming. Follow the procedure below to initiate priming. Pumps
installed at a suction height above 5’ (1.52m) may have diculty
