STARTING PROCEDURE
• Place your pump on a hard, stable surface within 15° from horizontal
• Check the oil
• Check the gas tank level
• Connect your suction hose. Make sure that there is a rubber seal on the adapter and screw it tight.
• Close all the drain valve.
• Fill the casing up with water.
• Start the engine and let it idle
• When the pump is warm, increase the speed to about haft throttle.
• Open the exhaust port
• Adjust the RPM to desired pressure
N.B. 1 The exhaust system is very hot. Do not touch
N.B. 2 When you are done with the pump, always drain the pump casing
IMPORTANT NOTICE - FRESH WATER FLUSH AFTER EVERY USE
After Operating a CET Pump, it is critical to FRESH WATER F USH the pump at the end of use before restoring it as a good damage
control practice.
If the pump has been used to pump seawater, the seawater must be drained from the pump by opening the pump casing drain valve.
The pump must be flushed with fresh water to prevent corrosion and salt crystals from forming on close tolerance pump internals.
After flushing the pump, apply a spray silicone compound to pump internals and replace hose connection caps. Taking care of the
pump will help prevent the pump from seizing up.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling us, try the following if your pump does not operate properly.
If the engine seems to speed up and down (lost of suction)
• Make sure the suction hose is straight and does not allow any air pockets to be trapped.
• Check any air leakage in the suction or mechanical seal (between the pump casing and the engine)
Loss of suction head.
• Check the rubber seal in the suction hose
The pump is not pumping as much as it should and the revolutions of the engine are high
• Check for any obstruction in the suction hose (leaves, rocks, etc.)
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Do not use the pump more than 1/2 throttle for the first one and half hour.
