Preventing Water Hammer
Water hammer occurs when the discharge
flow is suddenly blocked or stopped.
Pressurized water trapped inside the pump
can crack the pump housing. To prevent water
hammer:
• Do not close the discharge valve while the
pump is operating.
• Do not allow vehicles to drive over the
discharge hose.
• Do not abruptly compress the discharge
hose.
Water Pump Shut Down
1. Move throttle lever from fast to slow.
2. Turn engine switch OFF.
3. Allow the engine to cool thoroughly.
After Each Use
After cooling, remove the priming plug and
drain plug from the pump housing and allow it
to drain thoroughly.
NOTE: DO NOT allow water to remain in
pump after use. Trapped water can freeze
and crack the pump housing.
Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Drain pump housing.
2. Disconnect hoses.
3. Wipe pump with a clean, dry cloth to
remove excess water and dirt.
4. Store equipment in a clean, dry area.
NOTE
: If storing for more than 30 days, see

CAUTION
Equipment damage. Before starting engine, verify
pump is primed with water and suction strainer is
submerged. Failure to do so will cause pump damage
and void the warranty.
