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.  

 

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.
