it is a bit hard to explain without having the pump in front for demonstration. My suggestion is if you have access to the extranet, download the pump operators manual for basic pumping procedures. it is normally an on station training session to operate appliances.
Hope this helps hold3n

Totally agree. They aren't all to hard once you get the hang of them but they are pretty different especially with the 3:1 to induce foam (new pumps use inline inductors but the older style still require 3:1), reflief valves and raphael valves. have a look through the manual but you may not totally get a grasp of it with out playing with it
