4. PREPARATION

Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil
or gasoline leaks.
1.Install the hose connector.
Be sure to check that the hose coupling packing is seated in its place
and install the hose connector to the suction port on the pump.
2.Connect the suction hose.
Use a commercially available 40 mm (1.5 in) diameter hose.
The suction hose must be of reinforced, noncollapsible construction.
Suction hose length should not be longer than necessary, as pump
performance is best when the pump is not far above the water level.
Self-priming time is also proportional to hose length.
The strainer that is provided with the pump should be attached to the
end of the suction hose with a band, as shown.
CAUTION:
Always install the strainer on the end of the suction hose before
pumping. The strainer will exclude debris that can cause clogging or
impeller damage.
