READ THE PUMP OWNER'S MANUAL!
The improper use of this pump could result in serious injuries
as well as damage to the unit. Read the MINI-STRIKER
Owner's Manual before using your MINI-STRIKER pump unit

PARTS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. Always
allow enough time, after stopping the unit, for proper
cooling of these parts and surrounding areas.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE PREVENTION:

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 the pump
again.
