PREPARING THE WATER PUMP FOR USE
STEP 1
When new from the package, this Water Pump contains no oil or gas in the engine crankcase.
Add the correct quantity of oil / gas before operating this Water Pump for the first time. This Water Pump
requires 2-cycle engine oil plus a mixture of gasoline to function.
1.
Prepare Unleaded Gasoline plus 2-cycle oil for outdoor power equipment using 50:1 ratio.
2.
Mix together : 0.5376 ounces of oil with 26 ounces of gasoline
STEP 2
To ensure that this Water Pump runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN
OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits
and extends the life of the exhaust system.
1.
Confirm that this Water Pump is on a level surface.
2.
Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: Cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)
3.
Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the
upper limit line. The fuel tank capacity for this Water Pump is listed below. NOTE: Because gasoline
can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.
4.
Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
STARTING THE WATER PUMP
1.
Only use outdoors.
2.
Confirm that 2-Cycle Oil/Gas has been properly added.
3.
Prime the water pump (see page 8)
4.
Move the choke lever to the “closed” position.
5.
Set the engine switch to the “on” position. (Figure 2)
6.
Press the Primer Button (Figure 3) six times.
7.
Slowly pull on the recoil starter handle until a slight resistance is felt. Then pull briskly to start the
engine.
8.
Gently return the cord into the Water Pump to avoid damage to the starter or housing. Never allow
the cord to snap back.
9.
If the engine fails to start, repeat step 6. NOTE: After repeated attempts to start the engine, consult
the troubleshooting guide before attempting again. If problems persist, call 1-866-460-9436,
Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time.
10.
Once the engine has started and runs for about a minute,
move the choke lever approximately half
way towards the
“open” position. Wait an additional 30 seconds and then move
the choke lever
completely over to the “open” position.
11.
Allow this Water Pump to run for several minutes before
beginning the project. After pump is running smoothly, adjust the
throttle of the pump. Choose the appropriate speed to maintain
good fuel consumption. (See Figure 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3)
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious
injury or burns.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot
lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire
hazard and causes environmental damage.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Breaking in an engine of any size is important to the life of the engine. The first twenty hours of operation is
considered the break-in period for this Water Pump. For best results and an engine with fewer problems, it is
suggested that you:
•
Avoid heavy loads during the first twenty hours.
•
Not run the engine at its highest speeds for extended periods.
•
Change the engine oil after ten hours of operation during the break-in period only.
OPERATION
PRIMING THE WATER PUMP
Be certain that hoses have been attached to BOTH the Intake and Outlet joints.
The water pump is ready to be primed before use. Priming forces air out of the pump
allowing it to pump water more efficiently.
1.
Place the Water Pump on a solid, level surface as close to the
water source as possible.
2.
Remove the Priming Plug (A, Figure 4)
3.
Fill the water pump with water by filing through the opening.
4.
Replace the Priming Plug.
5.
Start the engine.
6.
The Water Pump is now primed and ready for use.
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance of this Water Pump is essential for safe, economical, and
trouble-free operation. It will help prolong the life of this Water Pump as well as
help reduce air pollution.
During colder temperatures, icing may build in the carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough,
lose power and possibly stall. This temporary condition can be overcome by deflecting some of the hot air
from the engine over the carburetor area.
Completely drain the Water Pump before placing it in storage.
Wear eye and hearing protection when using this Water Pump.
Moisture can condense in a unit, so it is extremely important to drain the tank after each use. If left
in the tank, moisture could cause rust and weaken the tank.
Improper maintenance and/or failure to correct any problems prior to operating this Water Pump can
cause a malfunction, which could cause death or serious injury. Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and schedules in this manual.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
This Water Pump will work more efficiently with a clean air filter. The air filter should be checked every 25
hours of use, regardless of workload, and replaced every 100 hours regardless of workload.
To clean or replace the air filter:
1.
Remove the air filter cover, which is held in place by a nut and is located
on top of the Water Pump. (A, Figure 5)
2.
Remove the air filter.
3.
If the air filter is paper, use a vacuum to remove any trapped dirt. If this
doesn’t work, replace with a new filter.
4.
If the air filter is foam, wash the filter in warm water and a mild detergent
before rinsing thoroughly.
5.
Squeeze out excess moisture and dry completely.
6.
Briefly soak the filter in lightweight oil, squeezing out the excess, before
replacing it in the Water Pump.
Figure 5
SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
This Water Pump will work more efficiently with a properly functioning spark plug. The spark plug should be
replaced every 100 hours of use.
To check or replace the spark plug:
1.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
2.
Clean around the spark plug using a wire brush before removing
the plug using a spark plug wrench.
3.
Check the spark plug for foreign substances. If moisture is present,
wipe it off using a clean shop towel. If there are deposits
present (A, Figure 6), use a fine grit sand paper to remove them.
If there is structural damage to the spark plug, replace it with a new
one (B, Figure 6).
4.
When installing the new plug, replace it with a Type F6TC and
set the gap to 0.60 – 0.80mm.
Wear ANSI-approved safety gear, including safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves when
servicing this Water Pump.

STORAGE
The life of this Water Pump can be extended through proper maintenance procedures. When placing this
Water Pump in storage for over fourteen days, following these procedures will increase its service life.
1.
Allow engine to cool completely, and then clean the Water Pump using a cloth and mild detergent.
2.
Remove any fuel from the fuel tank.
3.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
4.
Pour one teaspoon of engine oil into spark plug hole and replace the spark plug but do not reconnect
the spark plug wire.
5.
Gently, but firmly pull the starter cord to distribute the oil inside the cylinder, stopping when you feel
resistance.
6.
Remove all water from the primer water tank.
7.
Wipe all metal components with an oil-soaked rag to inhibit rust and corrosion.
8.
Cover the Water Pump with a tarp and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space out of the reach of
children.
Do not store fuel/oil mix for more than 3 months.
Never place any type of storage cover on this Water Pump while it is still hot.
Prior to restarting, thaw out any possible ice from the Water Pump.
