• Stop your pump before fuelling if using the fuel tank install on engine.
Do Not…
• Let your pump freeze up with water in it (drain the casing).

• Close all the drain valves (underneath the body of the discharge valve and below the casing of the pump).
• Start the engine and let it idle.
• Open the priming valve between the pump casing and the venturi connected to the exhaust system.
• Close the exhaust port.
• Speed up the engine with the throttle cable to its maximum speed.
• When water comes out of the venturi (it should take approximately 15 to 30 sec. with a 10 ft x 2 1/2¨ suction hose),
close the priming valve.
• Open the discharge valve to allow water to run through the pump.
• Open the exhaust port.
