Move Water Pump to Safe
Operating Location
For best pump performance, locate the pump on a flat, level
surface as close as possible to the water to be pumped.
Secure water pump to avoid tipover. Use hoses that are no
longer than necessary.
WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire, resulting in death, serious injury and/
or property damage.
• Keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft) of clearance on all sides of water
pump including overhead.
Prime the Water Pump
1. Remove priming plug from top of pump.
2. Fill pump with clean water up to level shown.
3. Replace priming plug.
NOTICE Improper treatment of water pump can damage it
and shorten its life.
• Be sure pump chamber is filled with water before starting
the engine. Never run pump without priming.
Locate Strainer Basket Into Water Source
Place strainer basket into water to be pumped. Basket must
be fully immersed in water. To reduce sand or silt suction,
place basket into bucket or on top of coarse rocks.
NOTICE Improper treatment of water pump can damage it
and shorten its life.
• NEVER operate pump without strainer basket connected to
end of suction hose.
• Keep strainer out of sand or silt - place in bucket or
on stones.
• DO NOT let pump run dry or damage to seals may result.
