manifold assembly here
Note Pump must be primed before functional test.

Start the pump and perform the following functional test including
monitoring for leaks and watching for any obvious problems:
1. Reduce the setpoint to the second LED light from the bottom
on the motor control panel by pressing the DOWN arrow as
many times as necessary.
2. Slowly close the discharge line valve and observe that the
motor reduces speed to compensate for the lower flow rate.
3. Fully close the discharge line valve to test the motor stop
function. (The motor should stop within approximately
2 minutes if there are no leaks).
Note: The stop function may not operate properly, if the
setpoint requires 90% to 100% of the motor maximum speed
or if the diaphragm tank pre-pressure is not in the desired
range.
4. Fully open the discharge line valve and observe that the pump
starts again.
