OPERATION
DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION
Use
a commercially
available
hose with the hose connector
and
clamp provided
with the pump.
HOSE CONNECTOR
It is best to use a short,
large-
diameter
hose,
because
that will
reduce fluid
friction
and improve
pump
performance.
A
long
or
small-diameter
hose will increase
fluid
friction
and
reduce
pump
output.
Tighten
the hose clamp
securely
to
prevent
the
discharge
hose
from
disconnecting
under
high
pressure.
HOSE CLAMP
PRIMING THE PUMP
Before
starting
the
engine,
remove
the filler
cap from
the
pump
chamber,
and completely
fill the pump chamber
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.
