check thecondition of thepump before use. Correctany defects yourself, or let aqualified
technician make reparations before use.

apparatus and thecooling flanges.
• Check for signs of damage on thepump housing and theengine.
• Check that all nuts, screws, bolts, hose couplings and plugs are secure.
• Check thecondition of thehoses before connecting them to thepump; remember that
thesuction hose must be reinforced so that it does not implode from thesuction when
