Operating Tips for Maximum Performance
Ignition Switch
1. | Minimize friction by using the |
| correct 1.0" ID suction and |
| discharge hoses specified, with a |
| minimum of connections. Keep all |
| hose runs as short as possible. |
2. | Keep the suction head (vertical |
| lift) as short as possible. Do not |
| exceed the pump’s maximum |
| suction head of 26 feet. |
3. | Avoid air leaks. |
| a. All |
| must be tightly secured. |
| b. Make sure the filler cap and |
| drain plug on the pump housing |
WARNING!
■■Keep all pets and bystanders away from the pump during opera- tion and fueling.
■■Beware the pump may shift sud- denly during operation, especially when the hoses first fill with water.
■■Do not wear loose clothing, jew- elry, or long hair that could get caught in machinery.
■■Always wear eye protection such as goggles or safety glasses.
■■Always wear
■■Wear appropriate footwear such as nonskid boots or shoes. Steel- toed rubber boots are strongly recommended. NEVER WORK BAREFOOT!
