Priming and Initial Start Up of Pump

1. Close shutoff valves at filler.

2. Fill tanks half full of water and check system for leaks.

3. Open shutoff valve to pump.

NOTE: Plug, stored in plastic bag, can replace vented plug if pump is removed from planter. This will prevent oil from leaking out vented plug.

4. Lower planter to planting position and move 100 to 200 yards. Close shutoff valves to pumps.
