does tigerloop eliminate the need for bleeding when oil line is moved?

F5, i need help priming it
Can a novice prime an f5? They moved my tanks and installed a long line but we cant get it to run. It starts, runs a bit then shuts off and you can see the oil drop in the line outside.
They key appears to be to let the burner run more than 10 seconds but even after looking at the manual, it looks like a bit more complicated than for me, but i wanted to be sure
and the contractor doing the work on the house wisely doesnt want to be responsible for it...he did try the bleeder screw but we need more draw to go the extra 15-20 feet
i read about removing the air cover and disconnecting the supply line...i think i found the air cover but it appears to have a proprietary screw?
as a last resort, at the end of the workday we will just run a line in my window and that will shorten things a lot and it should run just fine then..i hope..but this means no hot water during the day for me

ok we have the temporary solution installed...the hose runs into the window and right to my boiler...started up right away and bled it a bit and i guess the tigerloop did the rest
now he made a new plug and tomorrow will just take off at the tank and plug that hose so no air gets in ...so i just wont have fresh hot water during the day...but 40 gallons in there is more than enough for me
my installer did call me back but said he couldnt get here until late tonight..and anyway said 12-15 ft vertical is too much..he said 8 max
