Pumps will not freeze when running. However, in freezing weather, re-
move drain plug (A) and prime port plug (B) and drain the water from
pump completely after use. All hoses exposed to freezing temperatures
should also be drained, Before restarting the pump, replace the drain
plug and fill plug securely, making sure the gaskets are in place and in
good condition to prevent air entry into the pump. Prime the pump.
