  • Page 15: Operation

    OPERATION SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS To safely realize the full potential of this pump, you need a complete understanding of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its controls. Before operating the pump for the first time, please review the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION on page 5 and the chapter titled BEFORE OPERATION.
  • Page 16 OPERATION Do not allow the pump to tip over or fall in its side during use. If the pump is not positioned upright or if there is not enough space around the pump, cooling air can become restricted or the engine exhaust may be obstructed, causing engine damage.

  • Page 17: Pump Placement

    OPERATION PUMP PLACEMENT Always position the pump in an upright position on a firm level surface at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from any walls or other equipment. For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use hoses that are no longer than necessary.

  • Page 18: Suction Hose Installation

    OPERATION SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION Use the hose, hose connector, and hose clamp provided with the pump. The suction hose must be reinforced with a noncollapsible wall or braided wire construction to prevent suction hose collapse. The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump performance is best when the pump is near the water level, and the hoses are short.

  • Page 19: Discharge Hose Installation

    OPERATION DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION 1.Verify that the hose coupling packing is in good condition. 2.Securely tighten the hose connector to the pump discharge port. 3.Install the discharge hose to the hose connector. Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the discharge hose to prevent the discharge hose from disconnecting from the hose connector under high pressure.

  • Page 20: Optional Garden Hose Installation (Discharge Only)

    OPERATION OPTIONAL GARDEN HOSE INSTALLATION (discharge only) An adapter is supplied with the pump for optional connection of a garden hose to the pump discharge port. Garden hose is a convenient and economical option for carrying the discharged water, though its smaller diameter will reduce the maximum discharge capacity of the pump.

  • Page 21: Priming The Pump

    OPERATION PRIMING THE PUMP Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump chamber, and fill the pump chamber with water up to its priming water filling level. 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.
  • Page 22 OPERATION 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...
