WATER PUMP SYSTEM INFORMATION
NOTICE
The Electric Water Pump is a powerful, thermally protected, self-lubricating, fully submersible unit ca-
pable of delivering 170 gallons (644 litres) of water per hour. For operator convenience, the pump power
cord plugs into the female receptacle of the motor terminal box, and is automatically activated as soon as
the motor is turned to the “ON” position.
You may wish to immerse your water pump in a drum of fresh water, as to allow
clean/unslurried water to cool the Diamond Blade. This action will keep your machine
cleaner and allow the greatest life for your Diamond Blade.
The pump has been designed to operate “WET”, therefore it is advisable to disconnect the pump if the
operation calls for “DRY” cutting. When running wet, the pump should be kept in the water reservoir in a
position that permits the scupper to be fully submersed. For optimum performance and longevity, it is best
to keep clean water in the reservoir at all times.
