DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION
Use a commercially available hose and hose connector, and clamp provided with
the pump.
It is best to use a short, large-diameter
hose, because that will reduce fluid
friction and improve pump output. A long
or small-diameter hose will increase fluid
friction and reduce pump output.
Tighten the hose clamp securely to
prevent
the
discharge
hose
from
disconnecting under pressure.
PRIMING THE PUMP
Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump chamber, and
completely fill the pump chamber with water. Reinstall the filler cap, and tighten it
securely.
Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. If the
pump has been operated dry, stop the engine immediately,
and allow the pump to cool before priming.
