Under no circumstances should the pump be run without having filled the prefilter with water beforehand,
otherwise this could damage the mechanical seal, which in turn will cause water leakage.
Check that the motor rotates in the right direction by observing the fan at the back of the motor through the
sight glass on the fan's cover.
Open all the valves and turn the motor on.
Self-prime the piping and wait for a reasonable amount of time for this to be completed.
