
Do not ground the battery (if applicable) through the pump’s frame members; always
ground to a bare metal (unpainted) part of the engine block to ensure proper ground.
Preventing Damage to Equipment
The following recommendations will help avoid damage to your equipment:

Flush the pump with fresh water if the pump has been used to pump salty, brackish,
high mineral content water, water containing debris, or foam injected water. Check that
debris is cleared before using pump again.
 Always draft water using a suction hose strainer.

During freezing weather, drain the pump, manifolds, and lines of all water. You can
also pour some antifreeze into the pump and circulate it through the pump and
plumbing system.

Let the engine warm up before using the unit at full speed.

Always use the proper unleaded gasoline or diesel fuel as recommended in the engine
manufacturer’s manual.

Always check for sufficient oil quantity in the engine crankcase before use (see engine
manual for details on checking the oil level, as well as for the type of oil to use).

If applicable, always check for sufficient coolant quantity in the engine radiator before
use (see engine manual for details on checking the coolant level, as well as for the
type of coolant to use).

Pumps should not be operated without water for any extended period of time or without
discharging water. Operating the pump in such a manner can overheat the pump
causing damage to seals, or pump internals.

It is recommended that all fasteners be replaced with genuine WATERAX parts.

When mounting manifolds to the pump, the manifolds must be self-supporting and
coupled to the pump by means of a flex coupling such as a Victaulic
®
coupling or flex
hose.

When hoisting the pump onto an apparatus, take care when using lifting hooks (if
applicable) and avoid any contact with components adjacent to the fixation points.

Never disconnect the battery (if applicable) while the engine is running, as this may
damage the control panel’s electrical components.
