    BEFORE OPERATION ARE YOU READY TO GET STARTED? Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of injury. Knowledge Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to operate them.
  • Page 14: Is Your Pump Ready To Go

    BEFORE OPERATION IS YOUR PUMP READY TO GO? For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to take a few moments before you operate the pump to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the pump.
  • Page 15: Check The Suction And Discharge Hoses

    BEFORE OPERATION Check the Suction and Discharge Hoses • Check the general condition of the hoses. Be sure the hoses are in serviceable condition before connecting them to the pump. Remember that the suction hose must be reinforced construction to prevent hose collapse. •...
  • Page 16: Operation

    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 5 and the chapter titled BEFORE OPERATION.
  • Page 17: Pump Placement

    OPERATION PUMP PLACEMENT For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use hoses that are no longer than necessary. That will enable the pump to produce the greatest output with the least self-priming time. As head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. The length, type, and size of the suction and discharge hoses can also significantly affect pump output.
  • Page 18: Suction Hose Installation

    OPERATION SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION Use a commercially available hose and hose connector with the hose clamp provided with the pump (if necessary). Most hoses come with the connectors already installed. The suction hose must be reinforced with a noncollapsible wall or braided wire construction and cannot contain any perforations. The suction hose should be no longer than necessary.
  • Page 19: Discharge Hose Installation

    OPERATION DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION Use a commercially available hose and hose connector and clamp provided with the pump (if necessary). It is best to use a short, large-diameter hose, because this will reduce fluid friction and improve pump performance. A long or small-diameter hose will increase fluid friction and reduce pump output.
  • Page 20: Priming The Pump

    OPERATION PRIMING THE PUMP Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump chamber, and completely fill the pump chamber with water. Reinstall the filler cap and tighten it securely. Priming water capacity: WT20X: 3.70 US gal (14.0 L) WT30X, WT40X: 3.96 US gal (15.0 L) Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal.

  • Page 49: Storage Precautions

    STORAGE STORAGE PRECAUTIONS If your pump will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well- ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer.
  • Page 50: Transporting

    TRANSPORTING If the pump has been running, allow the engine to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the pump on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials. Keep the pump level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
  • Page 51: Taking Care Of Unexpected Problems

    TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS ENGINE Engine Will Not Start Possible Cause Correction Fuel valve OFF. Move fuel valve lever to ON position. Choke open. Move choke lever to CLOSED position unless engine is warm. Ignition switch OFF. Turn ignition switch to ON. Out of fuel.

  • Page 54: Carburetor Modification For High Altitude Operation

    TECHNICAL INFORMATION Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
  • Page 55: Emission Control System Information

    Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic. Honda utilizes appropriate air/fuel ratios and other emissions control systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.
  • Page 56 Honda recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your power equipment engine, but Honda cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure that all scheduled maintenance has been completed.
