before starting it.

When water comes out of the manifold top and out of the discharge
hose (it should take approximately 15 to 30 seconds when priming from 10’
x 1 1/2" suction hose), firmly tighten the black cap down.
CAUTION: NEVER run the pump dry for more than one (1) minute, it could damage
the mechanical seal. Always prime the pump as fast as possible.

You can adjust the ratio flow/pressure by two means.
7.10.1.
Adjust the throttle of the engine to desired pressure.
7.10.2.
Control the opening of a valve or a nozzle at the end of the
discharge hose. By reducing the opening, pressure will increase and
flow will decrease.

closed more than one (1) minute. The water could heat up. Upon opening the valve
or nozzle, the operator could be burned.
