HOSE CONNECTOR
(commercially available)
Use a commercially available
hose and hose connector, and
clamp provided with the pump.
It is best to use a short, large-dia-
meter hose, because that will
reduce fluid friction and improve
pump output. A long or small-
diameter hose will increase fluid
friction and reduce pump output.
Tighten the hose clamp securely
to prevent the discharge hose
from disconnecting under high
pressure.
Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump
chamber, and completely fill the pump chamber with water. Reinstall
the filler cap, and tighten it securely.
Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. If the pump has
been operated dry, stop the engine immediately, and allow the pump
to cool before priming.
