Engine oil capacities： SUWP25:0.35L SUWP50,SUWP80:0.6L SUWP100:1.1L AIR FILTER INSPECTION A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine and pump performance.
  • Page 11 Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter. Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged filter elements. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check the oil level. Reinstall the air filter and air cleaner cover. Be sure all the parts shown below are in place.
  • Page 12 MAXIMUM FUEL LEVEL Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer (maximum fuel level). FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.

    5. OPERATION SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS To safely realize the full potential of this pump, you need a complete understanding of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its controls. Before operating the pump for the first time, please review the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION on page 3 and the chapter titled CHECK BEFORE OPERATION.
  • Page 14 SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION Use a commercially available hose and hose connector with the hose clamp provided with the pump. The suction hose must be reinforced with a non-collapsible wall or braided wire construction. Do not use a hose smaller than the pump’s suction port size. Minimum hose size: WP25(25mm),WP50.CP50.HP50(50mm),WT80.WP80(80mm),WP100(100mm).
  • Page 15 DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION Use a commercially available hose and hose connector, and clamp provided with the pump. HOSE CONNECTOR It is best to use a short, large-diameter hose, because that will reduce fluid HOSE CLAMP friction and improve pump output. A long or small-diameter hose will increase fluid friction and reduce pump output.
