OPERATION
PRIMING THE PUMP
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.
Priming water capacity:
WT20X: 3.70 US gal (14.0 L)
WT30X, WT40X: 3.96 US gal (15.0 L)
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.
If the discharge hose must run across a roadway, the hose should
cross the roadway perpendicular to traffic flow. Also, heavy boards
should be placed next to the hose so the motor vehicle weight does not
shut off the discharge as vehicles cross over the hose.
Driving over a discharge hose while the pump is running, or even
possibly when the pump is stopped, may cause pump case failure.
