An inlet strainer will prevent suspended debris from
clogging pump.
The internal running surfaces of the pump and seals
require water lubrication for good, consistent operation.
Allowing pump to run dry or with no flow will severely
damage pump and seals.
Install a pressure gauge in pump inlet line. Keep at least
two pounds per square inch pressure (2 PSI) in inlet
line whenever pump is operating. If this is not possible,
consult customer service representative.

Lubrication

It is not necessary to lubricate pump or motor. The motor
is equipped with sealed ball bearings, lubricated for
the life of the bearing. The mechanical shaft seal in the
pump is self-lubricating and requires no adjust ment.
Disassemble pump to replace seal, see Maintenance.
Operation
NOTICE Observe the following precautions when
operating the pump:
1. Keep the motor dry! Do not direct stream from pump
discharge onto the motor!
2. Risk of explosion . Do not ground to a
gas supply line. Do not run the pump with discharge
shutoff, as hose may burst or pump may be damaged
due to high temperatures.
3. Do not use a standard trigger gun with this
pump. Use only trigger guns with an automatic
weeping feature.
4. Do not run pump dry; to do so may damage the seal.
5. To avoid internal damage to pump, do not operate
with water temperature above 175 degrees F.
