GB SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

1. This pump is designed for pumping water and general farm
liquid fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Flammable materials
such as gasoline should not be pumped with this pump.
Explosion might result, causing serious injury. Corrosive
materials should be handled with caution, taking into consider­ation the handling instruction for the particular material.

2. Before starting the pump, study all of the instructions in this
booklet and the Engine Operating and Maintenance Instructions
supplied with the unit. Make sure you thoroughly understand
how to operate the machine. Proper preparation, operation and
maintenance will result in operator safety, optimum perfor­mance and long unit life.

3. Be sure each person who operates the machine is properly
instructed in its safe operation.

PREPARING THE PUMP FOR OPERATION

UNCRATING THE PUMP

When uncrating the pump, loosen any shipping blocks, clamps and
packing material from the unit. Look the unit over carefully for shipping
damage. If you find any damage, report it immediately to your dealer or
the shipper.

Read these instructions and the 4-cycle engine instructions carefully until
you are sure you can prepare the engine and pump properly for use, and
can operate it safely and correctly.

WARRANTY

The pump is warranted for the period and under the conditions stated on
the warranty card packaged with the pump. Fill out the card and mail it.

ENGINE PREPARATION

The engine is lubricated by engine oil in the crankcase. The engine is
governed to operate at speeds close to 3600 rpm and the governor
setting

must not be changed

by the operator or owner.

4. Never operate the machine in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to
carry away exhaust fumes.

5. Always be sure that the machine is on secure footing so that it
cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers.

6. Keep the immediate area free of all bystanders.

7. When starting the machine, be sure that nothing is in a position
to be hit by the operator’s hand or arm, or the starting rope.

8. Never operate this machine with any guard removed.

9. Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel in
safety containers. If container does not have a spout, use a
funnel. Do not refill engine while it is running or hot. Fill the tank
only on an area of bare ground. While filling the tank, keep heat,
sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel
before starting engine.

10. Avoid contacting the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder.
Keep clear of all rotating parts.

11. Always keep the machine and all associated equipment clean,
properly serviced and maintained.

12. Before working on any part of the machine, shut off the engine
and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental
starting.

13. Never run pump in an enclosed area.

14. Use only product manufacturer’s genuine replacement parts.
Failure to do so may cause poor fit and possible injury.

NOTE

The fuel for this 4-cycle engine is regular grade gasoline 87 Octane
(average) minimum. No oil should be mixed with the gasoline.
However, engine lubricating oil in the crankcase should be checked
before use. Follow instructions in the Briggs & Stratton instruction
manual in all matters of 4-cycle engine preparation, engine oil
selection, operation, maintenance and trouble-shooting.

Do not leave gasoline in the engine tank for long periods of time because
gasoline breaks down as it ages. The peroxides and gums in old stale
gasoline can attack the interior surfaces of the fuel system and engine,
clog the carburetor, and prevent starting. The “freshness” of fresh
gasoline can be prolonged for several months by treating the newly
purchased gasoline with an anti-oxidant type of fuel stabilizer (such as
STA-BIL®, available from Gold Eagle Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois

60632) according to instructions on the stabilizer can.

PUMP PREPARATION

CAUTION

Do not run the pump dry. There must be liquid in the pump to
lubricate the pump shaft seal.

Always fill the pump body with water (or the liquid to be pumped) before
starting the pump. It is not necessary to drain the pump body after use,
unless there is a danger of freezing.

The pump shaft seal is lubricated by the liquid being pumped. The seal is
designed to handle clean or dirty liquids. No other points on the pump
require lubrication.

ELBOW AND NIPPLE INSTALLATION: (AP220-1B, AP315-1, AP315­1A, AP320-1, AP320-1A, AP320-1B & AP520)

Wrap the male threads with Teflon sealing tape. This tape gives a more
superior seal than pipe joint compound without making the connections so
tight as to damage the threads. Assemble nipple into the pump body. The
proper tightness is hand tight plus one full turn with a pipe wrench (no
tighter).

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

1. When pumping dirty water or liquids
containing solids, always use a pump strainer on the end of
the suction line.

2. Make sure that all hose and pipe connections are air tight. An air
leak in the suction line may prevent priming and will reduce the
capacity of the pump. Also be sure that the filler plug on top of
the pump and the drain plug at bottom rear are air tight.

3. Always place the pump as close to the liquid to be pumped as
possible but not in an enclosed area. Keep the pump and
engine on a level foundation. When the suction
hose is hanging down a steep bank or into a hole, the weight
of the hose and the liquid in it can pull the pump into the liquid. To
prevent “walking” and possible loss of the pump, tie it
down.

4. Always be sure the pump contains liquid before you start the
engine. In freezing weather, always drain liquid from the pump after
use. After refilling pump in freezing weather, crank engine very
slowly so you can feel whether pump is free to run before you crank
to start the engine. If pump is frozen, thaw it out slowly. (Do not use
fire to thaw pump).

5. If pumping liquid is contaminated with mud or detergents (many
rivers and lakes contain detergents) which will churn into suds in the
pump, it may be necessary to prime the pump with clean water (tap
water). Once primed, the pump will handle the contaminated liquid.

CAN.

6. Maximum volume is achieved by:

(a ) Keeping lines as straight as possible, and avoiding kinks and sharp

bends in the hoses.

(b ) Making the vertical suction lift distance as short as possible (see

illustration).

(c ) Using large diameter suction and discharge lines (The larger the

diameter the lower the friction).

(d ) Using as few connectors, elbows and adapters as you can get away

with.

(e ) Maintaining the pump and associated equipment in good operable

condition.

7. If flexible hose must be laid across a roadway, protect it with
planking. Instantaneous shut-off pressures, applied when a vehicle
runs across an unprotected hose, will cause pounding. Pounding

OR BASKET

can split the pump body or damage the hose.

8. When the suction strainer is likely to clog with muck and roots,
prepare a bed of stones on which to rest the strainer; or tie the
strainer so that it stays off the bottom; or tie it in a basket or pail (see
illustration).

9. When pumping liquids (such as Liquid Fertilizer) containing solids,
the time required to prime will increase and the pumping volume
(gallons per minute) will decrease as the proportion of solid matter in
the liquid to be pumped is increased. The viscosity or thickness of
the liquid also will affect the priming time and the pumping volume.
Any consistency of liquid which increases friction and drag in the
pump and lines will retard the output.

10. The rubber molded check valve in the “chimney” of the pump volute
will seal off the pump to retain liquid in the suction line so that the
pump will start pumping immediately after short periods of shut­down.

PROTECT FLEXIBLE HOSE WITH
PLANKING ACROSS ROADWAYS

11. When the pump is used only now and then, it is a good idea to check
that the unit is ready for operation by (a) checking the level of oil in
the engine crankcase and (b) filling the pump with liquid.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE AND UNIT STORAGE

1. Follow instructions in the Briggs & Stratton Instruction Manual in
all matters of engine maintenance. The air filter must be cleaned
regularly, the proper level of oil maintained in the crankcase,
and the engine oil must be changed at regular intervals.

2. After every 100 hours of operation, the cylinder head should be
removed and the engine deposits removed carefully from the
combustion chamber and the top of the piston. We recommend
that engine work such as carbon removal be done by a Briggs
& Stratton or Homelite Construction Equipment Service Station.
The engine can be inspected, repaired if necessary, and tuned
for optimum performance at this time.

3. When the engine is to be idle for a long period of time, both
pump and engine should be prepared for storage as given
below:

(a ) If the engine tank contains anti-oxidant-treated gasoline you

may store the pump for as long as two months with the tank
filled to the top. If the gasoline is untreated, drain the tank
and use up your reserve fuel supply in another engine. Start
and run the pump engine until it dies from lack of fuel.

(b ) Drain the pump. If the pump contains liquids which could

dry out and cake up, it is a good idea to pump a little clear

water before draining the pump.
(c) Leave the filler and drain plugs out of the pump.
(d ) Wipe down the exterior of the unit. It must be stored in a

dry, well ventilated area, away from fertilizers and corrosive

salts. Try to keep the unit in a cold or cool area where the

temperature changes very little. Dampness and heat will

accelerate rust of the engine parts, so cold, dry area

storage is your best bet for long engine life.

PUMP TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND REPAIR

DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT

1. DOES NOT PRIME OR DOES NOT PUMP

25 INCHES (MAX.)

2. OUTPUT O.K. AT LOW LIFTS, BUT FALLS OFF AT
MEDIUM HEIGHT SUCTION LIFTS.

• Fill pump with clean liquid and try priming again.

• Disconnect suction and discharge lines at pump. Check pump

suction by holding palm of hand over suction opening (or use a
vacuum gauge). Maximum vacuum should be about 25" Hg on
vacuum gauge. You can live with less vacuum as long as
satisfied with lower performance. If dissatisfied, disassemble
and check the impeller, wear plate and seal.

• If pump suction tests O.K., attach suction line and check
suction at end of suction line. Failure to get suction here
indicates leaking connections or leaking or collapsing lines.
Liners of damaged suction hose will often be sucked shut inside
the hose.

• If good intake suction, put on the discharge line. The only thing
which could interfere with pumping here would be a blockage.

• Worn pump can handle low lifts. Lower the lift distance, if
possible, or check pump out as below.

• Body screws have loosened to permit an interior air leak.
Recheck after tightening.

NOTE

Failure of pump to perform satisfactorily, i.e. pump heavy liquids or
negotiate high lifts up to its expected ability, may not be the
pump’s fault. If you find nothing wrong with the pump, have the
engine inspected, overhauled if necessary, and tuned for the
altitude range you expect to use the pump.

• Worn or damaged pump parts. Disassemble. Check rubber

wear plate, impeller volute and shaft seal. Replace any broken
or worn components; check clearance between impeller blades
and wear plate. Reassemble using all new “0” rings. Shim to
.015" impeller to volute clearance during reassembly.

1. Using a large screwdriver to remove the 1/4" screws, lock
washers and nuts, remove the pump body from the impeller
housing.

2. Remove the rubber check valve from the “chimney” of the
volute.

3. Remove the large self-tapping screw at the top of the volute and
the two smaller self-tapping screws at the sides of the volute.

4. Unscrew the 5/16-24 x 3/4 (fine thread) impeller screw and
remove it along with the small “0” ring. Slide the impeller off the
shaft and key.

5. One half of the shaft seal is in the impeller hub, the other half is
on the shaft inside the back plate. Remove both halves.

6. Remove the four steel screws (and small “0” rings) and pull the
impeller housing off the engine.

7. See that the key fits the shaft groove snugly. If it doesn’t,
replace the key with a wider one.

8. The clearance between the impeller blades and the volute must
be about .015" for good pumping. If the impeller blades and
volute are worn, there may be too much “front” clearance. You
can reduce the clearance by taking out one or more of the
shims between the impeller housing and the engine. After locking
the impeller back in place temporarily, check the impeller blade­to-volute clearance with a feeler gauge. Continue (below) with
reassembly.

CAUTION:

When reassembling pump, (as in steps 10 through 15) after
adjustment of the clearance (as above) you must check that there is
no contact between the volute and impeller. Rotate shaft slowly by
hand and listen for scraping noises. If you hear no noises, put
priming liquid into the pump and start up the engine. If there is no
scraping noise, your assembly is probably O.K.

12. When assembling nipples, fittings, and elbows into the pump
body, wrap the male threads with Teflon® sealing tape. This
tape gives a more superior seal than pipe joint compound
without making the connections so tight as to damage the
threads. The proper tightness is

with a pipe wrench.

13. The four 5/16"-24 x 1-1/8" screws (with an “0” ring on each)
holding impeller housing to engine should be tightened securely
with a large screwdriver. When your rebuilding is completed, fill
the pump with liquid and test whether its full capacity has been
restored.

14. The screws holding the volute in place do not have to be
tightened any more than needed to secure the volute during
assembly. Overtightening may cut the “0” rings. The impeller
and the outside body screws should be made moderately tight
to insure against air leaks.

9. If you cannot get a clearance reasonably close to .015" between
the impeller and wear plate, install new parts as required.

10. During final assembly, be sure to change all of “0” ring seals
unless you are positive they are in good condition.

11. Put all of the parts back together in the reverse of the order
used in disassembly.

WARNING

Do not use any petroleum oil or grease in the assembly and do not
pump petroleum products with this pump.

manière à fonctionner à des vitesses proches de 3600 t/mn, et le réglage
du régulateur de vitesse ne doit être changé ni par l’utilisateur, ni par le
propriétaire.

NOTA

Le carburant de ce moteur à quatre temps est de l’essence
ordinaire à indice d’octane minimum (moyen) de 87. Ne pas
mélanger d’huile à l’essence. Cependant, l’huile de graissage dans
le carter doit être vérifiée avant toute utilisation. Suivre les instruc­tions du manuel Briggs & Stratton pour tout ce qui concerne la
préparation du moteur à quatre temps, le choix de l’huile,
l’utilisation du moteur, son entretien et son dépannage.

7. Au moment du démarrage de la machine, s’assurer que rien ne
fait obstacle au déplacement de la main ou du bras de
l’utilisateur, ni à la course du cordon du démarreur.

8. Ne jamais utiliser cette machine si l’un des dispositifs de
protection n’est pas en place.

9. Respecter tous les règlements de sécurité relatifs à la
manipulation du carburant dans des récipients de sécurité.
Utiliser un entonnoir si le récipient n’a pas de bec verseur. Ne
pas rajouter de carburant lorsque le moteur est en marche ou
lorsqu’il est chaud. Ne remplir le réservoir que dans un endroit
ou le sol est dénudé. Pendant le remplissage du réservoir, ne
permettre la présence d’aucune flamme, étincelle ni source de
chaleur à proximité. Nettoyer soigneusement le carburant
répandu avant de faire démarrer le moteur.

14. N’utiliser que des pièces de rechange authentiques provenant
du fabricant afin d’éviter la possibilité d’un mauvais assemblage
et de blessures corporelles.

Ne pas laisser d’essence dans le réservoir pour de longues périodes, car
l’essence se dégrade avec le temps. Lorsque l’essence est trop vieille,
les peroxydes et les substances gommeuses peuvent attaquer les
surfaces intérieures du dispositif d’alimentation en carburant et du
moteur, encrasser le carburateur, et empêcher le démarrage. La
« fraîcheur » de l’essence peut être maintenue pendant plusieurs mois en
traitant de l’essence qui vient d’être achetée avec un stabilisant de
carburant de type antioxydant (par exemple, STA-BIL® de Gold Eagle
Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois 60632) conformément aux indications
présentes sur le bidon du stabilisant.

PRÉPARATION DE LA POMPE

ATTENTION

Ne pas faire fonctionner la pompe à sec. Du liquide doit être
présent afin de lubrifier le joint d’étanchéité de l’arbre de la pompe.

Avant de démarrer la pompe, toujours remplir le corps de pompe avec de
l’eau (ou avec le liquide à pomper). En l’absence de risque de gel, il n’est
pas nécessaire de vider le corps de pompe après usage.

Le joint d’étanchéité de l’arbre de la pompe est lubrifié par le liquide
pompé. Le joint est conçu pour fonctionner avec des liquides propres ou
sales. Aucun autre élément de la pompe ne nécessite de lubrification.
