Always keep the flow of water unobstructed in the discharge hose by keeping it flat
and straight. Avoid sharp bends in the hoses and do not place heavy objects on top.
If the discharge hose must run across a roadway, heavy boards should be placed next
to the hose, so the motor vehicle's weight does not deform or crush the discharge
hose. Driving over a discharge hose while the pump is running or stopped may cause
pump case failure.
NOTE
Ensure the pump is primed before operating. Running the water pump
without priming with water for an extended period will damage the pump.
The farther and higher the water must travel, the lower the pump's output
will be.
Pump performance will decrease as the altitude increases due to lower
atmospheric pressure.
