cebado automático, autocebante


Explanation:
In fact I would say that the pump is a "self priming" pump. Therefore, the sentence "The pumps covered in this manual can pull a positive prime." will go into "Las bombas cubiertas/descritas en este manual son de "cebado automático" (or "autocebantes").
I would wait for other opinions.
All the best
