Q

Steps to perfrom a draft:

A
  • pick your intake
  • Ensure pump is air tight, close tank to pump
  • switch pressure governor to rpm mode
  • position hard sleeve
  • increase throttle to 1,000-1,200 rpm
  • pull primer (no more than 45 seconds)
  • once pressure develops on master pump gauge, disengage primer, open discharge
