Priming the Pump
WARNING
DO NOT run the pump dry.
Running the pump dry can destroy the pump seals
and will void the warranty. If the pump was running
while dry, stop the engine and allow it to cool
thoroughly before filling the chamber with water.
Located on the outlet flange is the priming plug.
Remove the priming plug and fill pump body to the very
top of outlet flange with water. Reinstall the priming
plug. As the engine starts up, this will start the draw of
liquid into the pump. Located within the pump assembly
is the one-way valve. As you prime the pump housing
this one-way flap valve shuts off the opening to the
suction hose. The priming process is only required when
the pump housing is not full of water.
NOTE
Ensure the priming plug is secure before pump
operation, if not secure the priming plug could be
ejected and water or other liquids could be pumped
through the top of the outlet flange.
