Weight:
The pump has a bronze impeller and an high resistance aluminum alloy body. It
also has an axial mechanical seal. The pump can operate to a maximum
pressure of 160 PSI (11bar). It has been designed to work at temperatures
between 5°F (-15°C) and 104°F (40°C). The manufacturer does not guarantee
the performances outside of this temperature range. The pump is operated with
the throttle control knob on the side of the pump inlet. The pump should not run

Transport and storage
Transport:
- 11 -
WARNING
The pump and its frame have been designed to be easily transported by two
adults or more.
The pump shouldn’t be inclined by more than 35° during transport, especially if
the engine has oil in it.
: Never transport the pump while it is running.
Storage:
Warning:
components, such as diesel, oil and the battery. Store away from heat
It is important to take into account the dangerous materials and
source, flames and sparks (e.g. heater using a pilot).
The pump should be stored in a cool, dry place away from salty air at the
exception if the pump has the marinization treatment. If the pump
is to be stored for over 30 days, you should completely drain the fuel and
carefully follow the steps written in your engine owner’s manual. It is important
to disconnect the battery and charge it at least once every 3 months if you don't use the
pump for that period of time.
Contact your local C.E.T. dealer or C.E.T. direct to ensure you have the latest version.

7.4. Connect the suction hose and the discharge hose. Make sure that
there is a rubber seal on the adapter and screw it tight. Verify the water
source to be used is clear of sand and/or small rocks, if you have any
doubt about your water source, we recommend you use a floating
strainer. If sand enters your pump it would damage the seal and wear
rings, reducing useful life. The water source should be at least 12” deep.
WARNING
: The discharge hose will tend to straighten up when filled with
water. Make sure it won’t compromise the safety of your installation. Warn
the surrounding people before you start the pump. It is important that you
evaluate the trajectory of the hose to prevent incidents.
NOTE
: If you are
pumping from a hydrant
, replace step 7.7 by: “open the valve or
any other control mechanism of the hydrant to fill your pump”. Follow the rest of
the procedure but skipping section 7.9, 7.10, 7.11 and 7.13. We recommend you
avoid having an inlet pressure over 75 PSI, it will accelerate wear of the
mechanical seal.
7.5. Put the control throttle in starting position.
7.6. Close the drain valve and the discharge valve(s). Make sure the
pump is sealed from any air leakage.
7.7. Open the priming valve.
WARNING
: Always make sure a trained person firmly holds the extremity
of the discharge hose before starting the engine. The hydraulic power of
the pump could cause the hose and nozzle to move violently and cause
material damage,

Remove from packing. Check the oil level of the engine and the level of fuel.
Make sure the electrical connections have not been damaged or disconnected
during transport. Make sure that no bolt or screw has been loosened by
vibration in transport. Every pump that we build is tested at the factory and
meets rigorous standards of quality. To make sure that nothing outside our

For all problems that are not covered by this table, please contact your local C.E.T. Fire pumps dealer or C.E.T. direct.
Problem Probable cause Remedy
No fuel in the combustion
chamber
The fuel tank is empty Fill the fuel tank
The electric starter doesn't
work
Not enough electrical power
Check the electrical connections, check if the battery is charged, if required charge the battery. Check the engine
manual for faulty electrical starter problems. Use the recoil starter.
The engine won't start
Faulty engine Refer to the troubleshooting guide of the engine owner's manual
Engine is overheating
Refer to the troubleshooting guide of the engine ow
ner's manual
The engine output is
low
The engine won't speed up
The throttle control system is
malfunctioning
Reset, repair or change the throttle control system.
Air pockets in the suction hose Make sure the sucti
on pipe is straight and doesn't have a sharp turn angle allowing the formation of an air pocket.
Air pockets are created in the
suction hose
Suction hose is not air tight
Make sure to understand and applied the priming protocol of the pump. Check for any possible air leakage in the
suction hose. Check the mechanical seal for leakage.
The engine seems to
speed up and down
Faulty engine Refer to the troubleshooting guide of the engine owner's manual
The engine speed is too low
The throttle should be in the "fast" position while priming. For engine's speed problem, refer to "the engine output is
low" section.
The exhaust gas flow going
through the venturi isn't high
enough
The exhaust port isn't
completely closed.
Check if the exhaust port closing handle completely covers the outlet pipe. Clean up and flatten the closing surface
beneath the exhaust port closing handle.
Make sure drain valve and discharge valve are close
d. Verify the suction hose(s) and the gaskets are in good
conditions.
The pump is not air tight
The primer sucks in ambient air
and thus can't take out all the
air from the suction pipe
Verify the end of the suction hose is completely submerged by at least 12" (305mm) of water. When pumping high
volumes of water, sometimes a whirlpool is created by the suction. If so, make sure to submerge the suction hose
end by at least 24" (610mm).
The engine works but
the priming system
doesn't seem to be
able to fill the pump.
(part 1/2)
The pump is too high above
the water source
The height of water to pull up is
above the priming system
capacity
The priming system is guaranteed up to 20' (6meters). Above this height it is highly suggested to reduce the height
difference.

Contact your local C.E.T. dealer or C.E.T. direct to ensure you have the latest version.
Problem Probable cause Remedy
The pump is too far from the
water source
The volume of air to vacuum is
above the priming system
capacity
Always put your pump as close to the water source as possible. Having a very long suction hose will take more time
to prime and eventually overheat the mechanical seal. Never run the primer continuously for more than 2 minutes.
A part of the suction hose is
higher than the pump level
Air will get stuck in the higher
level hose section.
If possible, try to avoid having higher sections suction hose than the pump level. Otherwise, close the discharge valve
as soon as the pressure drops and prime the pump again. Repeat the procedure to eliminate all the air pockets in the
hose, it is possible the procedure must be applied many times.
The priming system is not
maintained engage for long
enough
Only partially vacuums the
suction hose
Make sure to wait until some water comes out from the venturi before opening the discharge valve. The priming time
for a height of 10' (3 meters) shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds.
The engine works but
the priming system
doesn't seem to be
able to fill the pump.
(part 2/2)
Faulty priming system
An accumulation of carbon
deposits or dust is obstructing
the priming system.
Carefully dismantle the priming system, clean it up or replace the components if necessary.
The difference of elevation
between the end of the
discharge hose and the pump
is too high.
Reduce the elevation difference, use a smaller nozzle at the end of the hose to build more pressure (while reducing
the flow) or contact your local C.E.T. dealer for a more powerful model.
The restrictions or energy
losses added to the system
reduces significantly the
pump performance.
Old or malfunctioning intake
hose
It is possible on old suction hoses the inner liner rough up enough to cause friction loss and reduce capacity. In some
rare cases, the inner liner completely detaches from the outer wall making priming almost impossible.
Restriction on the suction
side
Obstructed intake or strainer
Check the strainer if it clogged with leaves, algae, rocks, etc. Clean it up and make sure the end of the suction pipe
doesn't touch the bottom of the water source. We recommend the use of a floating strainer.
The pressure gauges
indications are wrong.
Faulty or damaged pressure
gauges or their tubing
connections.
Check the connections of the pressure gauge and make sure they are watertight. Also check if there is no ice or
debris blocking the tube. Check and test the pressure gauges, change them if necessary.
The engine runs fine,
but the pump output is
low.
The pump maximum flow has
been reached.
Over the maximum flow limit
the pump will begin to cavitate
Do not exceed the pump flow limit, cavitation will
accelerate wear and damage the inner parts of the pump.
