DP Series Diaphragm Hand Primers Installation and Operation Directions
1	Attach mounting bracket to centrifugal pump or skid
2	Connect primer suction inlet to priming port on the centrifugal pump with hose or flexible tubing. Be sure all connections are air tight.
3	Fulcrum bracket on the DP9 may be adjusted for ease of operation.
4	If primer is connected to pump discharge, a cutoff valve should be installed in the priming line. This valve should be closed immediately after priming to prevent the pump from discharging through the primer.
5	If primer is connected to pump suction, cut-off valve is not required.
6	A check valve must be used on the pump discharge to prevent air from being drawn into the pump from the discharge line while priming.
7	All primers are equipped with a drain cock installed in the suction chamber for draining excess water after each use. Drain cock must always be closed when primer is in use.
