new fuel pump- do i need to prime it before installation??

hey guys, i just bought a new walbro 255 to drop in my rex since my stock one went out.

i'm wondering if theres any nessesary prep work that is involved with the installation of the new pump, or is it just an 'assemble and drop in tank' sort of deal?

i'd think i would need to prime it somehow or something, but i'm just double checking.
thanks

Just make sure the pump is submerged in fuel
before you ever turn the key on..
Then turn it off and on a few times...

you also need to customize a lil when putting that pump.
