When transporting the unit by motor vehicle, care should be taken to fasten it down securely. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for transporting the fuel caddie.

one of the three holes found in the frame.
INSTALLATION
1. Choose a suitable location, as near to the source of water as possible, to place the FYR PAK and
attach intake and discharge hoses. When operating from draft, the inlet hose should slope continuously down-
ward from the pump to the water.

CAUTION: Make sure connections on Intake and Discharge hoses match those supplied on the
pump or damage to threads will result. Damage may impede pump performance by allowing
leakage or preventing priming of the pump.
