How to prime these precision metering pumps?

To prime the pump, open the output line and slowly open the air supply valve until the pump starts.Let the pump cycle very slowly until all the air is pushed out of the lines and material fills up the pump and lines. Shut off the output line (material shut-off valve) and let the pump stall against pressure.

What is the advantage of elastomer (Buna-N / Viton) sealing in this pump?

The grease pump comes with an elastomer seal to keep contaminants out and protect internal components from damage.

What is the meaning of 'self-priming'?

Self-priming is needed when the pump is located below the level of the liquid and ready to be pumped. The gravity and air pressure in the pump keep it constantly filled with liquid while evacuating any air to ensure smooth operation for a continuous period.
