Connect the discharge hose.
Never attempt to operate the pump without priming water, or the
pump will overheat. Extended dry operation will destroy the pump
seal. If the unit has been operated dry, stop the engine immediately
and allow the pump to cool before adding priming water.
Check the priming water.

Use a commercially available hose, hose connector, and hose band. A
short, large-diameter hose is most efficient. Long or small-diameter
hose increases fluid friction and reduces pump output.
Tighten the hose band securely to prevent the hose from
disconnecting under high pressure.
The pump chamber should be primed with full of water before
operating.
