IMPORTANT
POWER UNIT PRIMING PROCEDURE
THE PROBLEM: Power unit runs fine but will not pump any fluid.
Step 1 – Locate the check valve, the flush plug to the left of the lowering valve.
(See drawing below.)

Step 2 – Using an Allen wrench and shop towel – with shop towel in place to catch
fluid – loosen the check valve plug 2 ½ turns to allow it to leak.
Step 3 – Push the START button for one second, then release for three seconds.
Repeat these steps until unit starts pumping fluid.
Step 4 – Tighten the check valve plug.
YOUR POWER UNIT SHOULD BE PRIMED
