INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
IMPORTANT NOTICE - FRESH WATER FLUSH AFTER EVERY USE
After Operating a CET Pump, it is critical to FRESH WATER FLUSH the pump at the end of use before restoring it as a good damage
control practice.
If the pump has been used to pump seawater, the seawater must be drained from the pump by opening the pump casing drain valve.
The pump must be flushed with fresh water to prevent corrosion and salt crystals from forming on close tolerance pump internals.
After flushing the pump, apply a spray silicone compound to pump internals and replace hose connection caps. Taking care of the
pump will help prevent the pump from seizing up.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling us, try the following if your pump does not operate properly.
If the venturi does not work properly.
• Check the exhaust port, it should be closed tightly without any exhaust gas whistling out between the seal and the pipe.
• Check the casing drain valve, it should be closed.
• Check any air leakage from suction hose.
If the engine seems to speed up and down (lost of suction)
• Make sure the suction hose is straight and does not allow any air pockets to be trapped.
• Check any air leakage in the suction or mechanical seal (between the pump casing and the engine)
Loss of suction head.
• Check the rubber seal in the suction hose
The pump is not pumping as much as it should and the revolutions of the engine are high
• Check for any obstruction in the suction hose (leaves, rocks, etc.)
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Do not use the pump more than 1/2 throttle for the first one and half hour.
