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 4 and the chapter titled CHECK BEFORE OPERATION.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area, such as a
garage. Your engine's exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect
rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.
Pump only fresh water that is not intended for human consumption. Pumping flammable
liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a fire or explosion, causing serious injury.
Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes
corrosion can damage the pump.

PUMP PLACEMENT

For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use hoses that are
no longer than necessary. That will enable the pump to produce the greatest output with
the least self-priming time.
As head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. The length, type, and size of
the suction and discharge hoses can also significantly affect pump output.
Discharge head capability is always greater than suction head capability, so it is important
for suction head to be the shorter part of total head.
Minimizing suction head (placing the pump near the water level) is also very important for
reducing self-priming time. Self-priming time is the time that takes the pump to bring water
the distance of the suction head during initial operation.
