SAFETY RULES
4
• DO NOT tamper with governed speed.
• DO NOT modify water pump in any way.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service water pump.
Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury
and damage to water pump.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
CAUTION
• Be sure pump chamber is filled with water before starting the
engine. NEVER run pump without priming.
• Use a non-collapsible hose on the suction side of pump.
• Use water pump only for intended uses.
• If you have questions about intended use, ask dealer or call
1-800-743-4115.
• Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any
other liquid that promotes corrosion can damage the pump.
• Ensure all connections are air tight.
• DO NOT obstruct the suction or discharge hose in any way.
• NEVER operate pump without strainer basket connected to
end of suction hose.
• DO NOT exceed suction head maximum of 8m (25 ft.) and
total head of 69m (225 ft.). Use shortest suction head possible
(see page 10).
• NEVER allow vehicles to drive over hoses. If a hose must be
positioned across a roadway, use planking on each side of hose
to allow vehicles to pass over without obstructing or
collapsing hose.
• Anchor pump to avoid “walking” or equipment movement,
especially if located near a ditch or edge of open ravine.The
equipment could fall in.
• Keep equipment away from edge of river or lake where it
could cause the bank to collapse.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
Improper treatment of water pump can damage it and
shorten its life.

hoses.
