Page 3: Introduction
This Manual covers the operation and maintenance of the Waterra PowerPack PP1. This lightweight portable petrol motor powered actuator is used for operating Waterra inertial pumps. Waterra UK Limited reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation.
Page 4: Safety Instructions
Explanation of symbols ! WARNING To ensure safe operation, pay particular attention to these precautions. The Waterra PowerPack PP1 is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual, together with the Honda engine manual, before operating the PowerPack.
Page 5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Using the PowerPack PP1 on boreholes without mountable headworks The PowerPack PP1 is designed to be attached to boreholes with upright headworks to enable it to be operated without user contact. In situations where it is used unattached to headworks, it is important that operators are trained to use the machine without touching the upper part of the tubular carrying handle and advised of the risks associated with prolonged contact as follows: Prolonged and regular work with high vibration hand-held or hand-guided tools can result in workers...
Page 6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ! WARNING Operator responsibility Any part of the machine is a potential source of danger if the machine is used in abnormal conditions or if maintenance is not done correctly. Read the Manual carefully. Be familiar with the controls and their proper use. Know how to stop the engine rapidly and how to release the ratchet strap quickly when it is used to secure the PowerPack to a borehole.
Page 7 Do not use the PowerPack with worn or damaged parts. Parts must be replaced, not repaired. Replace with genuine parts approved by the manufacturer. Contact Waterra for all maintenance. Non-equivalent quality parts may damage the machine and be prejudicial to your safety.
Page 8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ! WARNING Carbon Monoxide Hazard Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. If you run the engine in an area that is confined or even partially enclosed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas.
Page 9: Component Identification
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION Bracketed codes are for spares identification. A full list of parts is available from Waterra or your local dealer. w PP1...
Page 10 COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION Engine control location The throttle control and the Stop/Start switch are located on the side of the engine, near the fuel tank filler cap. (See picture) Throttle control To adjust the throttle setting, move lever (indicated in the picture) anti-clockwise to slow the engine or clockwise to speed it up.
Page 11: Pre-Operation Checks
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Engine Refer to Honda Engine Manual. NOTE: Check oil and top up before each usage. See Honda Engine Manual. Actuator Check all components are secure. Check for loose fixings. Inspect clamping strap for wear (see picture). Borehole Assessment Check borehole depth and water level prior to pumping.
Page 12: Pumping Operation
Read and understand the Safety Instructions on pages 4 to 8 before operating the PowerPack. If you notice any abnormal sound, smell or vibration, or other unusual signs, stop the motor immediately and consult Waterra. Basic operation These instructions assume the inertial pump tubing has already been installed into the borehole and the PowerPack fuel tank has been filled.
Page 13 The discharge end of the tubing can either be held manually or taped to the side of the PowerPack. Extension discharge hose can be supplied by Waterra. Clamping heavy tubing High flow tubing is particularly heavy at 25-30m depth. If the tubing starts to slip through the clamp, check that the appropriate clamp wing nut is tightened.
Page 14 PUMPING OPERATION When pumping from a borehole which is flush with ground surface: Stand the PowerPack directly above the centre of the borehole. Ensure the tube clamp is positioned over the centre of the borehole by sliding the clamp along the clamp arm to align with the centre of the borehole lining (see picture).
Page 15 PUMPING OPERATION To stop the pump: Position the throttle control lever fully to SLOW. This stops the actuator operating. Turn the engine switch to the off position (0). Releasing the clamping strap from the borehole Squeeze the ratchet release slide and rotate the handle anticlockwise until it engages in the slots provided (see picture).
Page 16: Backpack In Use
BACKPACK IN USE The Backpack is an optional accessory and may not be supplied with your PP1. It can be ordered separately. Please quote part description: PP1 Backpack. Before fitting the PowerPack to the backpack, adjust the harness by trial fitting to the operator. Adjust the bottom harness strap to allow the clips to engage.
Page 17: Maintenance
TROUBLE SHOOTING Refer to Honda Engine Manual for any problems with the engine. If the engine starts and runs but there is no drive to the actuator, contact Waterra service department. If the ratchet strap shows sign of wear, contact Waterra service department for replacement parts.
