pressed

Pressing the PRIME key causes the tubing to fill with fluid.

1.To prime the tubing, press and hold down the PRIME key. As long as you hold down the PRIME key, fluid flows in the tubing, and the display shows “Priming...”.

2.To stop priming a tube, simply release the PRIME key. The pump motor stops running, and fluid stops flowing.

Extensive testing has shown that the minimum motor speed required to prime the tubing varies significantly with the size of the tubing. These variances are shown in Table 9-3 in Chapter 9. If the tubing will not prime regardless of motor speed, simply press on the pump stator (refer to Figure 3-11) while the stator is shut and the motor is running. Pressing on the stator enhances the priming action of the pump. Release pressure after the tubing is primed.
