    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. Familiarize yourself with the pump and its operation before you begin pumping.
  • Page 14: Check The General Condition Of The Pump

    BEFORE OPERATION Check the General Condition of the Pump • Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks. • Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the engine muffler, and recoil starter. •...
  • Page 15: 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 16 OPERATION Do not allow the pump to tip over or fall in its side during use. If the pump is not positioned upright or if there is not enough space around the pump, cooling air can become restricted or the engine exhaust may be obstructed, causing engine damage.
  • Page 17: Pump Placement

    OPERATION PUMP PLACEMENT Always position the pump in an upright position on a firm level surface at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from any walls or other equipment. For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use hoses that are no longer than necessary.
  • Page 18: Suction Hose Installation

    OPERATION SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION Use the hose, hose connector, and hose clamp provided with the pump. The suction hose must be reinforced with a noncollapsible wall or braided wire construction to prevent suction hose collapse. The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump performance is best when the pump is near the water level, and the hoses are short.
  • Page 19: Discharge Hose Installation

    OPERATION DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION 1.Verify that the hose coupling packing is in good condition. 2.Securely tighten the hose connector to the pump discharge port. 3.Install the discharge hose to the hose connector. Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the discharge hose to prevent the discharge hose from disconnecting from the hose connector under high pressure.
  • Page 20: Optional Garden Hose Installation (Discharge Only)

    OPERATION OPTIONAL GARDEN HOSE INSTALLATION (discharge only) An adapter is supplied with the pump for optional connection of a garden hose to the pump discharge port. Garden hose is a convenient and economical option for carrying the discharged water, though its smaller diameter will reduce the maximum discharge capacity of the pump.
  • Page 21: Priming The Pump

    OPERATION PRIMING THE PUMP Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump chamber, and fill the pump chamber with water up to its priming water filling level. Reinstall the filler cap, and tighten it securely. Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. If the pump has been operated dry, stop the engine immediately, and allow the pump to cool before priming.
  • Page 22 OPERATION If the discharge hose must run across a roadway, the hose should cross the roadway perpendicular to traffic flow. Also, heavy boards should be placed next to the hose so the motor vehicle weight does not shut off the discharge as vehicles cross over the hose. BOARDS DISCHARGE HOSE Driving over a discharge hose while the pump is running, or even...
  • Page 23: Starting The Engine

    OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE 1.To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position. CHOKE LEVER CLOSED 2.Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW position, about 1/3 of the way toward the FAST position.

Do not allow the recoil starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
  • Page 26: Setting Engine Speed

    OPERATION SETTING ENGINE SPEED After starting the engine, move the throttle lever to the FAST position for self-priming, and check pump output. Pump output is controlled by adjusting engine speed. Moving the throttle lever in the FAST direction will increase pump output, and moving the throttle lever in the SLOW direction will decrease pump output.
  • Page 27: Stopping The Engine

    OPERATION STOPPING THE ENGINE To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Under normal conditions, use the following procedure. 1.Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position. SLOW THROTTLE LEVER 2.Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. IGNITION SWITCH After use, remove the pump drain plug (see page 47), and drain the pump chamber.

  • Page 49 STORAGE 4.Stop the engine, and allow it to cool. 5.Remove the pump drain plug, and flush the pump with clean, fresh water. Allow the water to drain from the pump chamber, and then reinstall the drain plug. 6.After the pump is clean and dry, touch up any damaged paint, and coat areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
  • Page 50: Fuel

    STORAGE Fuel Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel formulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the carburetor and/or fuel system. Please check with your servicing dealer for local storage requirements.
  • Page 51 STORAGE Adding a Fuel Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life Short Term Storage (30-90 days) If your equipment will not be used for 30-90 days, we recommend the following to prevent fuel-related problems. 1.Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions. When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline.
  • Page 52 STORAGE Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor Long Term or Seasonal Storage (greater than 90 days) 1.Check that the oil filler cap is tightened securely. 2.Remove the fuel tank cap and drain the fuel into an approved gasoline container by tipping the engine toward the fuel filler neck. 3.Press the priming pump several times until there is no more fuel in the clear-plastic fuel return tube.

  • Page 54: 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 55: 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.
