OPERATION

PRIMING THE PUMP

Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump chamber, and 
fill the pump chamber with water up to its priming water filling level. 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.

If the discharge hose must run across a roadway, the hose should cross the 
roadway perpendicular to traffic flow. Also, heavy boards should be placed next 
to the hose so the motor vehicle weight does not shut off the discharge as 
vehicles cross over the hose.

Driving over a discharge hose while the pump is running, or even possibly when 
the pump is stopped, may cause pump case failure.
