[fuel tap question. 1989 xj600 pre diversion]

hi people.
i have looked all over and cant seem to find the answer.
so. i recently bought a 1989 XJ600.  and i noticed on the fuel tap it says on, reserve and prime... question is what is the prime position for and should i use it?
i have only ever seen on, off and reserve on bikes so im guessing its something the older bikes had.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

just a hello here would be suffice. Can post engine issues under garage or classics and we’ll answer there.

hey all.
just a little introduction of myself.
pretty new here and to big bikes. i have spent the last 16 years riding 125cc bikes.  i decided it was time to dip my feet into the big bikes. so i bought myself a Xj600 pre diversion (1989)
