PREPARATIONS
FOR
STARTING
1.
Connect the suction hose.
Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to
prevent suction collapse. Since the pump’s
self-priming time is directly proportional
to
hose length, a short hose is recommended.
[CAUTION]-
=
Always use a strainer with the suc-
tion hose. Gravel or debris sucked
into the pump will cause serious
damage
to
the impeller and the pump
casing.
2.
Connect the discharge hose.
When using a fabric hose, always use a hose band to prevent the hose from
disconnecting under high pressure.

If level is low, fill to the shoulder of the fuel filter.
