Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.
1. Select a firm, level site as near the water source as possible.
Never exceed a suction lift (A) of 7.5 m (24 feet) or water
will not flow. Make sure pump will not move due to vibration
and/or the pull from the weight of suction hose when full of
water.
2. Total vertical discharge (B)is the distance the pump is
capable of lifting water from the surface of the water to the discharge hose end. The distance must not
exceed 29 m (95 ft.), otherwise no water will flow.
3. Make sure all hoses and pipe connections are air tight, and
all hose coupling gaskets or o-rings are installed.
4. Keep prime port plug and pump drain plug tightly secured in
place during operation..
5. Make sure strainer is in place.
6. Maximum pump efficiency is obtained by:
• Keeping hoses straight and avoiding kinks and sharp bends
in hoses.
• Using shortest suction lift practical.
• Using as few connecters, elbows and adaptors as possible.
• Replace prime port plug securely, making sure the gasket is
on and in good condition.
Priming the Pump
1. All ECHO pumps are self-priming centrifugal pumps. Only a
single priming operation at the beginning is needed to allow
the pump to be used continuously or intermittently.
2. Remove prime port plug (A) and fill pump housing with
water.
3. Replace prime port plug securely, making sure the gasket is
on and in good condition.
