Assembly; Installing The Hoses; Priming The Pump - Generac Power Systems PowerMate 1020 Owner's Manual

DANGER
Risk of fire. Allow fuel spills to completely dry
before starting engine. Failure to do so will
result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in fuel system parts
such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank
during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. See Storage.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank as permanent
damage may occur.

Assembly

Consult Manual. Read and understand manual
completely before using product. Failure to
completely understand manual and product
could result in death or serious injury.

Installing the Hoses

Equipment damage. Use only hoses and couplings
designed for this pump. Incorrect hoses and couplings
can cause performance issues and permanent
equipment damage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Verify that both hoses
are rated for water temperatures of 41° to
113°F (5° to 45°C). Hotter or colder water can
rupture the hoses.
1. Place water pump in desired operating
location.
2. See Figure 2-6. Place a gasket (4) and
hose barb (3) on each of the threaded
flanges (5) and fasten with a hose nut (2).
NOTE: Install hose coupling parts in the
specified order. Incorrect sequence may
cause air leaks that affect suction.
