12. Always store the water pump in a well
ventilated area. Follow the instructions in
this manual for preparing to store a water
pump. Never store fuel near the water
pump.
13. Never operate a water pump if any of the
following conditions are present.
a. Uncontrolled change in engine speed.
b. Sparking.
f. Engine misfire.
g. Excessive vibration.
h. Flame or smoke.
i. An enclosed compartment.
14. Check the unit before each use for signs
of deterioration such as worn or porous
hose, loose or missing clamps, a damaged tank or cap. Replace all defective
parts before operating the water pump.
15. The water pump should be operated, serviced and/or refueled under the following
conditions only.
a. Start and run the water pump out-
doors. Never run the water pump in
an enclosed area even if the windows and doors are opened. Avoid
areas where exhaust vapors can be
trapped. DANGER—CARBON
MONOXIDE HAZARD: The engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a poisonous, odorless, invisible gas
which, if breathed, may cause death
or personal injury.
b. Good ventilation for cooling. The
water pump is air cooled and requires appropriate air flow. Tem-
peratures should not exceed 104° F
ambient.
c. Refuel the water pump in a well
ventilated area with sufficient light.
Allow the engine to cool for 3-4
minutes before refueling. Avoid
spills and NEVER refuel while the
water pump is running.
d. Never refuel the water pump near
open flames, sparking electrical
equipment or pilot lights
e. Never start or run the water pump
without the muffler and air filter
installed and in good condition as
they work as flame arresters in
case of backfires.
f. Never smoke near the water
pump.
17. Do not wear lose clothing or jewelry
that could get caught in the starter or
other moving parts.
18. Know how to stop the pump quickly,
and understand the operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to operate
the pump without proper instruction.
19. Never insert anything through the ventilation slots, this could cause damage to
the water pump or personal injury.
20. Water pumps are heavy, use proper lifting techniques.
21. This pump is designed to pump only wa-
ter that is not intended for human consumption. Other uses can result in person injury or damage to the pump or
other property. Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any
other liquid that promotes corrosion can
damage the pump.
Pumping flammable liquids, such as
gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a
fire or explosion, causing serious injury.
22. Do not overload the pump. Use the cor-
rect pump for the application. The cor-
rect pump will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
23. Do not allow children to operate the
pump. Keep children and pets away
from the area of operation.

Engine Oil
NOTE: Engine oil is a major factor affecting
the performance and service life of this water
pump. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils
WILL damage the engine and are not recommended.
1. Use 4 stroke oil, or an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to
meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service Classification
SG, SF/CC, CD. This designation will be on
the motor oil container.
2. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, alltemperature use. See chart for appropriate
weights for your area.
3. Locate the oil filler cap and remove.
Fuel and refuel in a well ventilated ar-
ea with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the area where the engine is
being refueled or where gasoline is
stored.
Do not over fill the tank (there should
be no fuel in the filler neck).
After refueling, make sure the tank
cap is closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when fueling
or refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite.
If fuel is spilled make sure the area is
dry and free of fumes before starting
the engine.
Avoid fuel contact with the skin or
breathing vapors for a prolonged period.
KEEP FUEL OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN.
1. Unleaded gasoline with a octane rating of 86 or
higher is recommended because it produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and ex-
tends the exhaust system life.
2. Remove tank cap and fill tank.
3. Do not fill tank above the shoulder of the fuel
strainer.
4. Fill oil reservoir according to the engine oil
capacity found in table 1.
5. Confirm proper fill by replacing the dip stick
and checking the oil level.
Fueling the Engine
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
is explosive under certain conditions.

4. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or
oil/gasoline mixture. KDAR recommends a
fuel stabilizer.
5. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
