Priming
Before the pump can develop suction or “lift” at the water source, the pump impeller must first be primed by filling the pump housing with water. Once the GP3410 has been primed, additional prim- ing should be required only if the pump has been drained or otherwise emptied.
. Remove the filler plug at the top of the pump housing. Use care not to lose the sealing ring beneath the filler plug.
IMPORTANT!
A damaged or missing filler plug seal may allow air to leak into the pump housing. Air leakage can lower performance!
. Fill the pump housing through the priming port (Figure 2) with clean water until water overflows from the filler plug hole on the pump body.
3.Replace and securely tighten the filler plug.
CAUTION!
Never allow the pump to run dry! Operation without water can perma- nently damage the pump seals.
