BREAK-IN PERIOD

Breaking in an engine of any size is important to the life of the engine. The first twenty hours of operation is
considered the break-in period for this Water Pump. For best results and an engine with fewer problems, it is
suggested that you:
Avoid heavy loads during the first twenty hours.
Not run the engine at its highest speeds for extended periods.
OPERATION
Wear eye and hearing protection when using this Water Pump.
Moisture can condense in a unit, so it is extremely important to drain the tank after each use. If left
in the tank, moisture could cause rust and weaken the tank.

PRIMING THE WATER PUMP

Be certain that hoses have been attached to BOTH the Intake and Outlet joints.
The water pump is ready to be primed before use. Priming forces air out of the pump
allowing it to pump water more efficiently.
1.
Place the Water Pump on a solid, level surface as close to the
water source as possible.
2.
Remove the Priming Plug (A, Figure 4)
3.
Fill the water pump with water by filing through the opening.
4.
Replace the Priming Plug.
5.
Start the engine.
6.
The Water Pump is now primed and ready for use.

MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance of this Water Pump is essential for safe, economical, and
trouble-free operation. It will help prolong the life of this Water Pump as well as
help reduce air pollution.
Improper maintenance and/or failure to correct any problems prior to operating this Water Pump can
cause a malfunction, which could cause death or serious injury. Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and schedules in this manual.
During colder temperatures, icing may build in the carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough,
lose power and possibly stall. This temporary condition can be overcome by deflecting some of the hot air
from the engine over the carburetor area.
Completely drain the Water Pump before placing it in storage.
