priming.
• Make sure all intake connections are tight.
• Continue priming until a solid stream of water is
discharged.
• Prime a 1250 gpm or smaller pump for 30
seconds and 1500 or larger pump for 45 seconds.
An additional 15 seconds may be required for a
4-inch or larger intake. If your pump does not
prime in that time, verify that all openings are
closed.
• Allow 1 minute of cool-down time between
priming intervals.

enabled.

button until the priming process is complete or
the priming time limit is reached.

Priming Pump Damage
• Do not prime the pump for
more than 1 minute.
• Operating the priming pump
more than 1 minute can
damage the motor or the
motor solenoid.
3 While priming, the priming pump begins
evacuating the air in the intake which is
replaced with water, this primes the water
pump.
