    Pre-operation check 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. WARNING: READ and UNDERSTAND this owner’s manual completely before using the water pump.
  • Page 17: Is Your Pump Read To Go

    Is your pump read 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.

  • Page 18: Fuel Requirements

    Fuel Requirements Use only unleaded gasoline to help minimize combustion chamber deposits. Use only clean gasoline and oil. Never use gasoline or oil that is stale, contaminated, or poor quality. This could damage your air compressor’s engine. Keep your fuel tank and oil cup clear of impurities (e.g. dirt, dust, water). Refer to the engine owner’s manual for fuel specifications.
  • Page 19: Monitoring The Fuel Level

    Monitoring the fuel level DO NOT OVERFILL FUEL TANK When adding fuel, turn the water pump engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing the gas cap. Make sure the engine is cool before proceeding. After the engine is cool, remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level.
  • Page 20: Using Caution When Refueling The Tank

    Using caution when refueling the tank Fuel Outdoors: Fill fuel tank outdoors – never indoors. Fuel vapor is highly flammable and could ignite after your water pump is started. Use approved container: Never fuel the water pump directly into engine fuel tank at a gas station.
  • Page 21: Operation

    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. 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 22: Discharge Hose Installation

    Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the hose connector to the suction hose in order to prevent air leakage and loss of suction. Verify that the hose connector sealing washer is in good condition. Install the strainer on the other end of the suction hose, and secure it with a hose clamp. The strainer will help prevent the pump from becoming clogged or damaged by debris.
  • Page 23: Starting The Engine

    Starting the Engine DANGER: Carbon Monoxide Hazard Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see, smell, or taste. The CO generated by the engine can rapidly accumulate, even in areas that appear to be well ventilated, resulting in dangerous and fatal concentrations within minutes. NEVER run air inside any enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, including homes, garages, basements, sheds, boxes, pick-up truck beds, RV’s, or boats.
  • Page 24: Setting Engine Speed

    a) Check the refuel on a regular basis. See engine owner’s manual for more details. b) Check engine oil level each time you refuel. See engine owner’s manual for more details. Safety reminders:  For safety, do not operate your water pump indoors or in partially enclosed areas. ...
