7.4. Connect the suction hose and the discharge hose. Make sure that
there is a rubber seal on the adapter and screw it tight. Verify the water to
be used is clear of sand and/or small rocks, if sand enters your pump it
would damage the seal and wear rings, reducing useful life.
WARNING
: The discharge hose will tend to straighten up when filled with
water. Make sure it won’t compromise the safety of your installation. Warn
the surrounding people before you start the pump. It is important that you
evaluate the trajectory of the hose to prevent incidents.
NOTE
: If you are
pumping from a hydrant
, replace step 7.5 by: “open the valve or
any other control mechanism of the hydrant to fill your pump”. Follow the rest of
the procedure but skipping section 7.8 and 7.9. We recommend you avoid having
an inlet pressure over 75 PSI, it will accelerate wear of the mechanical seal.
7.5. Remove the black cap on the top of the manifold, fill the pump with
water up to the manifold and make sure the pump is sealed from any air
leakage. After filling the pump, screw the black cap down leaving it loosely
tightened. So, water can come out.
7.6. Put the choke lever (if engine is hard to start) and the throttle control
on starting position before starting the engine.
WARNING
: Always make sure a trained person firmly holds the extremity of
the discharge hose before starting the engine. The hydraulic power of the
pump could cause the hose and nozzle to move violently and cause material
damage,
severe injuries
or even
death
.
