OPERATION
18. Place the clamp marked 54-57 on the other end of the green
hose. Attach the strainer to the green suction hose.
NOTICE
You may use a small amount of dish soap on the filter to help
ease the green hose on the filter. Work the soap around the
filter with your finger. Then work the green hose on the filter,
by twisting and turning until it’s fully seated.
19. Slide the clamp just before the end of the green hose.
20. Tighten the clamp to 7.4±1.5 lbf-ft (10±2 Nm) with a 10mm
wrench. If you do not have a torque wrench, hand tight then
¼ turn past full tight.
21. You should have everything connected.
Priming the Pump
NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump dry.
Running the pump dry can destroy the pump seals and will void
the warranty. If the pump was running while dry, stop the engine
and allow it to cool thoroughly before filling the chamber with
water.
NOTICE
Ensure the priming plug is secure before pump operation, if not
secure the priming plug could be ejected and water or other
liquids could be pumped through the top of the outlet flange.
1. Remove the priming cap (top) and fill pump body to the very
top of outlet flange with water. Reinstall the priming plug. DO
NOT over tighten.
2. As the engine starts up, this will start the draw of liquid into
the pump. Located within the pump assembly is the one-
way valve. As you prime the pump housing this one-way flap
valve shuts off the opening to the suction hose. The priming
process is only required when the pump housing is not full of
water.
