OPERATION
This pump is self–priming. To prime it the first time, it is convenient to
connect the air supply to the pump while keeping the outlet valve opened,
and increase the air pressure slowly from 0 to the desired pressure by using
a pressure regulator.
Once grease starts flowing through all the outlets, the pump is primed.
The pump starts to pump when an outlet valve is opened.
NOTE: It is important that the foot valve do not come in contact with dirty areas,
