Safety 7. Replace name plate if damaged/peeled, please order from dealer. 8. This pump was designed to pump clear water. Pumping muddy or high contaminants could result in mechanical seal failure. 9. Priming: this pump is self-priming, however it still requires the pump body to be filled with water. Running the pump without filling with water can result in mechanical seal failure. 10. Hose connections: If the pump fails to pump water in a short time, the suction hose connection could be leaking air. Stop the engine and check the suction hose connection and re-start the engine. 11. Drain water from pump after each use, especially if the temperature will be at or below freezing.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the pump. 12. Suddenly stopping the discharge of water can result in Water Hammer, which can break the pump housing. 6 Centrifugal Pump Operator's Manual
