The water provides lubrication for the pump and will prevent damage to the pump. 4) Check the engine oil level.
CAUTIONS DURING OPERATION 1) When operating the pump for the first time with the pickup hose submerged in solution, set the pressure control valve handle to the "Start" position, and allow free flow of air or water out of spray gun or wand, to allow pump to prime with minimal resistance. 2) If the pump is operated without the pickup hose being submerged in solution it will cause damage to the pump packing. Do not run the pump without liquid, except when draining, and then for not more than 20 seconds.
