DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION
Use a commercially available hose and hose connector, and clamp provided with
the pump.
It is best to use a short, large-diameter
hose, because that will reduce fluid friction
and improve pump output. A long or
small-diameter hose will increase fluid
friction and reduce pump output.
Tighten the hose clamp securely to
prevent the discharge hose from
disconnecting under pressure.

PRIMING THE PUMP
Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump chamber, and
completely fill the pump chamber with water. Reinstall the filler cap, and tighten it
securely.
Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. If the
pump has been operated dry, stop the engine immediately,
and allow the pump to cool before priming.
