SAFETY INSTRUCTION1.

To ensure safe operation
Honda water pump is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to in­structions. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual be­fore operating the w at er pump. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment dam­age.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless, od orless gas. Brea thing c arbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. If you run the pump in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. Never run your pump inside a garage, house or near open windows or doors.
Stop the engine before refueling. Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

To ensure safe operation
Always make a pre-operation inspection (page ) before you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage. For safety, never pump flammable or corrosive liquids such as gasoline or acid. Also, to avoid pump corrosion, never pump sea water, chemical solutions, or caustic liquids such as used oil, wine, or milk. Place the pump on a firm, level surface. If the pump is tilted or overturned, fuel spillage may result. To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the pump. Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation due to a possibility of burns from the hot engine components. Know how to stop the pump quickly, and understand the operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to operate the pump without proper instructions.

Connect the suction hose.
1.
Use commercially available hose, hose connector, and hose bands. The suction hose must be of reinforced, noncollapsible construction. Suction hose length should not be longer than necessary, as pump performance is best when the pump is not far above the water level. Self-priming time is also proportional to hose length. The strainer that is provided with the pump should be attached to the end of the suction hose with a band, as shown.
Always install the strainer on the end of the suction hose before pumping. The strainer will exclude debris that can cause clogging or impeller damage.

Connect the discharge hose.
2.
Use a commercially available hose, hose connector, and hose band. A short, large-diameter hose is most efficient. Long or small-diameter hose increases fluid friction and reduces pump output.
Tighten the hose band securely to prevent the hose from disconnecting under high pressure.

Check the engine oil level.
3.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Nondetergent or vegetable oils are not recommended. Check the oil level with the pump on a level surface and the engine stopped.
Use high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for API service category SE or later (or equivalent). Select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area.

Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean. Insert the filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recom­mended oil.
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.

Oil Alert System (Where equipped)
The Oil Alert System is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert System will auto­matically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.

Check the fuel level.
4.
Use automotive unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 91 or higher (a Pump Octane Number of 86 or higher). Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling area or where gasoline is stored. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill the fuel tank completely. Fill tank to approximately 25 mm (1 inch) below the top of the fuel tank to allow for fuel expansion. If may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending on operating conditions. After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
