MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance of this Water Pump is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will
help prolong the life of this Water Pump as well as help reduce air pollution.
Never perform maintenance procedures while this Water Pump is running. Allow this Water Pump to
cool before commencing any maintenance procedures. Keep heat, sparks and flame away.
Improper maintenance and/or failure to correct any problems prior to operating this Water Pump can

During colder temperatures, icing may build in the carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough,
lose power and possibly stall. This temporary condition can be overcome by deflecting some of the hot air
from the engine over the carburetor area.
Another method of reducing risks of freeze damage is to completely drain the Water Pump before placing it in
storage.
