Securely tighten the hose connector on the pump suction port.
DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION
It is best to use a short, large-diameter hose, because
that will reduce fluid friction and improve 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.
NOTICE
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.
