5. Before working on the unit, insulate the wire from the spark plug, by disconnecting the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
Complete
pump and piping system MUST be protected against below freezing temperature. Failure to do so could cause serious damage and voids
the warranty.
6. Do not run pump dry. Water is
required to lubricate the shaft seal.
7. Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids
with this pump may shorten the life of the pump and may be hazardous to the operator.
8. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when
working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered
and properly lighted; replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from
the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof with
padlocks, master switches, and by removing starter keys.
9. This pump is designed for non-abrasive
fluid transfer; do not use as a trash pump. Always use a suction strainer with this pump to filter abrasive material. Abrasive materials such as sand and gravel will shorten the life of the pump.

Operating Instructions and Replacement Parts List
This pump is designed to be self-priming when installed and operated as specified below.
1. The pump should be placed as close as possible to the liquid being pumped. A pump with 20 foot suction lift will not remove water as quickly as a pump with 5 foot suction lift (Figure 1).
20 Ft. Suction Lift
5 Ft.
Suction
Lift
Figure 1
2. Suction hose and fitting must be airtight.
An air
leak in the suction line may prevent priming of the pump. Use of thread sealant is recommended.
Suction lines must be reinforced hose
or rigid pipe. Non-reinforced hose will collapse due to the suction created by the pump and prevent pump from operating.
3. A check valve must be used in the
suction line to maintain the self­priming capability. If no check valve is used the pump will need to be primed at the start of each operation. For best operation, the check valve should be installed at the intake of the suction line.(Figure 2).
Check valve
4. A suction strainer is required to filter abrasive material. Abrasive material, such as gravel, will destroy the pump and void the warranty. This pump is not designed to handle abrasive materials.
5. The discharge hose and fitting should be leak-tight. A leak in the discharge hose will allow water to spray around the work site, making the site hazardous.
6. Keep all pipes and hose lines as short and straight as possible. Long lengths and curves in the pipes and hose lines will reduce the pressure the pump develops.
7. Fill the engine crankcase with oil. Refer to the engine operating manual for the specific grade of oil and amount required.
8. Fill the engine fuel tank with gasoline. Refer to the engine operating manual for specific gasoline type that is most efficient for this engine.
9. Add water to the priming port on the pump (See Figure 3). Continue adding water until the water level is approximately 3 inches from the top. Install the priming plug. The water in the pump will create the suction that primes the pump.

12. Move the engine switch to ‘ON’ position.
13. Pull engine crank until engine starts. Once engine starts, move choke lever to ‘RUN’ position.
14. The pump will take several minutes to prime.
PIPING
Always place the pump as close as possible to the liquid being pumped. Keep all pipe
and hose lines as short and straight as possible.
Support
pump and piping when assembling and after installation. Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, etc; all of which can result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
All suction connections must be airtight. If the pump won’t prime, check for leaks in the suction piping or fittings. If flexible suction hose is used instead of pipe, use reinforced hose with a two inch inner diameter. Non-reinforced flexible hose may collapse from the vacuum created as the pump primes.
Always use a strainer at the end of the suction pipe or hose. Position strainer so it doesn’t become clogged with stones or debris. A suction line check valve is recommended.
Do not use this pump for suction lifts over twenty-five feet.
Maintenance
Always shut off the engine, allow the engine to cool, and remove the spark plug before performing any maintenance.
During freezing weather, open the drain port and allow all the water in the pump to drain. This will prevent damage to the pump when the water freezes. If the pump will be stored for a month or more, drain the water from the pump and follow the engine manufacturer’s recommendations for long-term storage.
