Priming the pump for the first time, or after service (Continued) Priming the Pump

•Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system; see the filter owner’s manual.

•In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), the IntelliFlo VS-3050 pump will prime itself when suction and discharge valves are opened.

•If the IntelliFlo pump is not in a flooded suction system, unscrew and remove lid cover; fill the and pump with water.

•Do not lubricate the trap cover o-ring. The original equipment o-ring contains a permanent internal lubricant.

NOTICE: If you replace the o-ring with a non-internally lubricated o-ring, you may need to apply a silicone based lubricant.

•Clean and inspect o-ring; reinstall on trap cover.

•Replace trap cover on trap; turn clockwise to tighten cover.

NOTICE: Tighten the pump lid by hand only (no wrenches)!

Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction piping. If pump does not prime, make sure that all valves are open, suction pipe end is under water, pump suction is below water level, and that there are no leaks in suction pipe.
