(1) If property has been attached, he shall indorse on the execution, and pay to the clerk forthwith the amount, if any, of the proceeds of sales of perishable property, or debts due the defendant received by him, sufficient to satisfy the judgment.
(2) If the judgment is not then satisfied and property has been attached and remains in his custody he shall sell the same or sufficient thereof to satisfy the judgment.
(3) If then any portion of the judgment remains unsatisfied, or if no property has been attached, or the same has been discharged, he shall levy on the property of the judgment debtor sufficient to satisfy the judgment.
(4) Property shall be levied on in like manner and with like effect as similar property is attached, as provided in sections 256, 257, and 265 of this title, omitting the filing of the certificate provided for in section 258 of this title.
(5) Until a levy, property shall not be affected by the execution. When property has been sold or payments received by the marshal on execution, he shall pay the proceeds thereof, or sufficient to satisfy the judgment, to the clerk by the day on which the writ is returnable and the clerk shall pay such proceeds to the judgment creditor for whose benefit the property was sold.
(6) When property has been attached, and it is probable that such property will not be sufficient to satisfy the judgment, the execution may be levied on other property of the judgment debtor without delay. If after satisfying the judgment any property or the proceeds remain in the custody of the marshal he shall deliver the same to the judgment debtor.
