Priming The Pump - Honda WB30XT Owner's Manual

OPERATION

PRIMING THE PUMP

Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump
chamber. Fill the pump chamber to the undersurface of the discharge
port 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.
PRIMING WATER FILLER CAP DISCHARGE PORT
If the discharge hose must run across a roadway, the hose should
cross the roadway perpendicular to traffic flow. Also, heavy boards
should be placed next to the hose so the motor vehicle weight does
not shut off the discharge as vehicles cross over the hose.
BOARDS
DISCHARGE HOSE
Driving over a discharge hose while the pump is running, or even
possibly when the pump is stopped, may cause pump case failure.
