Using this water pump is easy. Just install it on your water - cooled engine according to the engine's manual. Make sure the connections are tight. When using, keep an eye on the water flow. If the flow seems weak, check for blockages. For maintenance, clean the pump regularly to prevent dirt build - up. Every few months, inspect the impeller for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, replace the parts as needed. Also, store the pump in a dry place when not in use to avoid rust.
