To operate the MINI-STRIKER unit:
1. Fill the fuel tank with recommended fuel grade and
securely replace cap.
Check oil level (see engine manual).
2. Connect the suction hose and footvalve strainer
, using a
universal hose coupling wrench to tighten coupling firmly.
NOTE: If desired, a suction hose with a footvalve may be
filled at this time to shorten pump priming
!
DO NOT
allow the strainer to rest on bottom of lake
or riverbed. Check strainer frequently to make sure
that it is not clogged with moss, leaves, etc.
!
DO NOT
lift strainer from water while the pump is
operating. Use a rope or other means to keep
strainer at proper height, approximately 1 foot (30
cm) below water surface. If strainer is too close to
the water surface, it will draw air and pump may
lose prime.
3. Connect discharge hose, nozzles, etc., to pump
, and
tighten firmly with coupling wrench.
4. Prime the pump
Use a
WATERAX
hand primer. Pump can also be primed by
“jerking” the suction hose until water flows from the pump’s
discharge port.
