In order to use the pump, simply {{k|q}}uery the pump, and hit {{k|Enter}} to "Start pump manually". When you want the pumping stopped, simply repeat the process.

This is useful for starting a [[Water wheel#Perpetual motion|perpetual motion]] power plant, and the job can also be used to get dwarves without specialized [[skills]] (such as haulers) experience for [[attributes|stat]] gains{{verify}}.  However, it's not recommended to put fortress critical pumps on manual labor, as pump operation requires continuous dwarven labor, which is often better used for other tasks, such as [[hauling]] and building objects.
