Operation
1. Compression Tank has a rubber bladder inside.
This bladder must be pumped up to 28 PSI of air at
all times. Use a bicycle pump (not included) to inflate
the bladder. On the end of the Compression Tank
opposite the side with the Pressure Meter, is an air
valve located under a cover. Remove the cover over
the air valve and periodically monitor this air valve
with an air pressure gauge to insure that the rubber
bladder maintains the required air pressure.
2. Make sure the intake pipe is fully
submerged before continuing.
3. Before starting the pump for the first time,
prime it by filling it with clean water
through the Priming Inlet.
