follow these instructions will void your warranty.
1. Place the semi-trash pump on a flat,
level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add 0.63 qt (0.6 L) of oil and replace oil
fill cap/dipstick.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as
needed.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low-oil-shutoff and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
Rev 66523-20090306 7
Assembly
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer
to the Maintenance section for recommended
service intervals.
Add Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel
with a minimum octane rating of 85.
2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
4. Remove the fuel cap
5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT
overfill. Allow approximately1/4 inch of
space for fuel expansion.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any
spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately1/4” below the top of
the tank to allow for fuel expansion.

Operation
Operation
Semi-Trash Pump Location
Place the semi-trash pump in a wellventilated area. DO NOT place the semitrash pump near vents or intakes where
exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied
or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind
and air currents when positioning semitrash pump.
This semi-trash pump must have at least five
feet of clearance from combustible material.
Leave at least three feet of clearance on all
sides of the semi-trash pump to allow for
adequate cooling, maintenance and
servicing.
Place the pump on a level surface free from
any obstructions or potential hazards. The
pump should be placed close to the water
level to ensure maximum pump
performance.
Connecting a Hose Kit (not
included)
Hoses are not included the following are
examples of how to connect the hose to the
water pump. Attach and thread the
connector to the threaded flange (Figure 1).
NOTE
Both the intake and discharge ports are 3 in.
NPT. Please insure the connectors to the suction
and discharge hose are 3 in. NPT threaded.
Pump output will be affected by the type,
length, and size of the suction and discharge
hoses. The pumping height, also known as
the total head, is the distance from the water
level to the point of discharge. As this
distance increases, pump output decreases.
The discharge capacity is greater than the
suction capacity. Therefore, it is important
that the suction head is less than the
discharge head.
The time required to draw water from the
source to the pump (self-priming time) can
be decreased by minimizing the suction
head.
Figure 1
Slide the flexible, outlet hose over connector
and secure with a hose clamp (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Rev 66523-20090306 9
Operation
Wrap the 3” NPT inlet clockwise with
plumber tape (Figure 3) to ensure a tight fit.
Carefully thread the male connector to the
intake port.
Figure 3
WARNING
DO NOT run the pump dry.
Running the pump dry can destroy the pump
seals and will void the warranty.
If the pump was running while dry, stop the
engine and allow it to cool thoroughly before
filling the chamber with water.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the semi-trash pump is on
a flat, level surface.
2. Flip engine switch to “ON” position
3. Rotate the fuel valve to the “ON”
position (to the left). See image below
5. Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
6. As engine warms up, move the choke
lever to “Run” (to the right).
7. Move the throttle lever (Item B) to the
“Fast” position.
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not run make
certain that the semi-trash pump is on a flat,
level surface. The engine is equipped with a low
oil sensor that will prevent the engine from
running when the oil level falls below a critical
threshold.
Pump performance can be adjusted using
the throttle. To decrease pump output, slide
the throttle to the right. To increase it, slide
the throttle to the left.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “Off”
position.
2. Rotate the fuel valve to the “Off”
position.
3. Allow the engine to cool thoroughly.
4. Remove the cap from the cooling pump
chamber and allow it drain completely.
4. Move the choke lever (Item A) to the
“Choke” position (to the left).

as specified in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement
in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the
ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be
warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement,
the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such
emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such
emissions-related part.
d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS
Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determi nation
that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is
performed at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
f. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved
modifications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered
by the ECS Warranty.
g. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted
emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
h. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in
the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge
to the owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE’s warranty obligation.
i. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE
engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS
Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a
CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
