2)Attach one end of the larger diameter hose to the inlet on the
pump using the 1 ½” tri-clover clamps, seals and fittings. You
can determine the inlet and outlet of the
pump by looking at the arrow on the
bottom of the pump.
Place the other end of this hose into a
suitable supply container.
Attach one end of the small diameter hose to the outlet of
the pump using the 1 ½” tri-clover clamps, seals and fittings.
The other end of this hose attaches to the inlet of the nozzle
using the ¾” (or 1 ½”) tri-clover clamps, seals and fittings
Quick and Easy Priming
1) Take both air hoses off the nozzle, and attach the black air
hose to the side of the nozzle in order to raise the internal
plunger and open the tip.
2) Attach a suitable hose from the AESPRIME unit to the
bottom opening of the nozzle spout.
3) Pump the AESPRIME unit several times until the liquid is
seen to rise up through the inlet hose, through the pump
and is seen in the outlet hose.
4) Remove the black pressure air hose from the side of the
nozzle and attach it back to the top.
Re-attach the blue air hose to the side of the nozzle.
5) Detach the AESPRIME unit.
