Operating and stopping
Adjust the throttle lever or the opening of the nozzle at the end of the discharge
hose accordingly to the desired flow/pressure rate.
To stop the engine, slow down its RPM to idle and turn the key position to « OFF ».
Open the drain valve under the body of the pump and let it drain completely.
CAUTION: NEVER leave water inside the casing of the pump and valves. The
water could freeze and damage them.
CAUTION: After each use, it is important to flush the inside of your pump with
fresh water. This will help prevent damages and wear to the pump components.
IF the pump has been used to pump salt water:
•
Drain the salt water completely.
•
Flush the pump with fresh water to prevent corrosion and salt crystals from
forming.
•
Apply a spray silicone compound to the pump internal components.
•
Replace hose connection caps. (If your pump is equipped with them).
WARNING: NEVER let the pump run unsupervised. Stop the engine before
transporting the pump or filling the fuel tank. The engine and its components
will be very hot when and after running. Let it cool down before touching it.
