Safety
IMPORTANT
FIRE & VENTILATION PRECAUTIONS:
1. This unit was designed for outdoor use only. NEVER operate this unit in an enclosed
area. ALWAYS make certain there is adequate air (oxygen) for combustion as well as
ventilation to prevent the presence of poisonous carbon monoxide gases. Beware
of poorly ventilated areas or exhaust fans which can cause inadequate combustion
or engine overheating.
2. NEVER operate this unit in the presence of ammable vapors or combustible dust,
gases or other combustible materials. (A spark may cause an explosion or re.)
When servicing this machine, be especially careful to properly dispose of any
ammable materials. DO NOT spray ammable liquids.
3. ENGINE FUEL TANK:
a. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE FILLING ENGINE FUEL TANK
b. NEVER ll the engine fuel tank while the unit is running or hot. Allow the engine to
cool two minutes before refueling.
c. DO NOT refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
d. ALWAYS refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may cause a risk
of re.
4. DO NOT operate the unit if gasoline is spilled. Wipe unit clean and move the unit
away from the spill. Avoid creating any ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.
5. DO NOT store the unit near an open ame or any equipment such as a stove, furnace,
water heater, etc., which utilizes a pilot light or devices which can create a spark.
IMPORTANT
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, READ THIS OPERATOR’S
MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE USING. WHEN USING THIS
PRODUCT, THE FOLLOWING BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE FOLLOWED:
The following is required by California State law, Section 4442 of the California Public
Resources Code. Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal
lands.
See your engine or equipment dealer for spark arrester mufer options.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not touch mufer or any part of the engine.
2. Use this pump for clean or cloudy water.
3. Use correct type of suction hose.
4. Do not run pump without water inside the pump. This will result in pump damage.
5. Use reinforced suction hose for suction side of the proper size. Please purchase
suitable hose to t to connection diameter and suitable length.
6. Ensure that the suction is securely tightened onto the suction side of the pump.
Centrifugal Pump Operator's Manual 5
Safety
7. Replace name plate if damaged/peeled, please
order from dealer.
8. This pump was designed to pump clear water.
Pumping muddy or high contaminants could result
in mechanical seal failure.
9. Priming: this pump is self-priming, however it still
requires the pump body to be lled with water.
Running the pump without lling with water can
result in mechanical seal failure.
10. Hose connections: If the pump fails to pump
water in a short time, the suction hose connection
could be leaking air. Stop the engine and check
the suction hose connection and re-start the
engine.
11. Drain water from pump after each use, especially if
the temperature will be at or below freezing. Failure
to do so can result in damage to the pump.
12. Suddenly stopping the discharge of water can
result in Water Hammer, which can break the
pump housing.

2. Remove oil ller cap/dipstick (A) and wipe it clean.
3. Insert ller cap/dipstick into oil ller neck, but DO NOT screw it in.
4. Remove dipstick. Proper oil level is at midpoint of dipstick (A). Add oil if necessary
to bring oil level to top of threads (B).
5. Install and tighten cap.

GASOLINE ENGINE OIL
Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature
range during the period between oil changes.
John Deere TURF-GARDTM is preferred. Also recommended is John Deere PLUS-4®.
Other oils may be used if they meet one or more of the
following:
• API Service Classication SH
• API Service Classication SG
• CCMC Specication G4
• CCMC Specication G5
BEFORE USE
1. Engine is shipped without oil. Refer to engine manual for proper oil
specications.
WARNING FLAMMABLE! AVOID FIRE WHEN REFUEL OR MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION FLAMMABLE! DO NOT SMOKE WHEN MIXING FUEL AND REFUEL
Centrifugal Pump Operator's Manual 7
NEAR OPEN FIRE.
ANY FUEL SPILLAGE MUST BE CLEANED COMPLETELY BEFORE
STARTING THE ENGINE.
STOP ENGINE AND WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS COOLED DOWN
BEFORE REFUELING.
Pre-Operation
DO NOT USE OLD FUEL OVER 30 DAYS. FUEL SHOULD BE CLEAN
AND FRESH. FUEL AROUND THE BOTTOM OF DRUM CONTAINS DIRT,
IMPURITIES AND WATER. UNUSED FUEL IN TANK (IF KEPT MORE
THAN 30 DAYS) MAY CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, PLEASE CHECK IF ENGINE OIL IS FILLED
TO REQUIRED LEVEL.
2. Make sure suction hose is connected properly.
Note: Failure to use approved non-collaps-
ible suction hose and recommended
hose strainer at all times during operation of pump will void the warranty
of the pump and engine.
3. Fill pump with water before use.
4. Priming: this pump is self-priming, however it
still requires the pump body to be lled with
water. Running the pump without lling with
water can result in mechanical seal failure.
5. Hose connections: If the pump fails to pump
water in a short time, the suction hose
connection could be leaking air. Stop the engine
and check the suction hose connection and
re-start the engine.
As pump is self-priming type, ll water fully from priming port into pump before running. Insufcient water can cause damage to pump.
CAUTION RUNNING WITHOUT FILLING WITH WATER CAN DAMAGE
MECHANICAL SEAL.
WARNING THIS PUMP IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH CHEMICALS OR
FERTILIZERS. IF USED FOR APPLICATIONS PUMPING CHEMICALS
OR FERTILIZERS, THE 2-YR LIMITED WARRANTY WILL NOT BE
HONORED AS MOST CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS WILL CAUSE
PREMATURE CORROSION AND SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PUMP.
THE PUMP SHOULD BE FLUSHED WITH CLEAN WATER AFTER
PUMPING ANY LIQUIDS WHICH MAY BE CONSIDERED CAUSTIC OR
CORROSIVE.

STARTING AND OPERATING ENGINE
CAUTION: DO NOT RUN ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.
EXHAUST GAS CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE, AN
ODORLESS AND POISONOUS GAS THAT CAN CAUSE
SICKNESS OR DEATH.
IMPORTANT: DURING FIRST TWO HOURS OF ENGINE OPERATION,
ENGINE MAY OPERATE AT LOW OR ERRATIC RPM AS THE ENGINE
MOVING PARTS BREAK IN.
1. Set fuel valve lever (A) right to ON
position.
2. Move choke control lever (B) left to
“CHOKE” position.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less
choking than a cold engine.
3. Move throttle lever (C) left to the fast
position.
NOTE: For best engine performance
it is recommended the engine be
operated with the throttle in the
FAST position.
4. Turn the engine switch (D) to “ON” to
position.
5. Pull recoil starter grip lightly until
resistance is felt, then pull briskly until
engine starts.

WATER HAMMERING
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW ANY VEHICLE TO
RUN OVER THE DELIVERY HOSE. DO NOT
CLOSE THE DELIVERY VALVE ABRUPTLY
BECAUSE WATER-HAMMER MAY OCCUR.
THIS MAY RESULT IN HEAVY DAMAGE TO
THE PUMP.
STORAGE
1. Drain water after use.
CAUTION: WATER TRAPPED INSIDE PUMP WILL
FREEZE AND MAY DAMAGE THE PUMP.
AFTER USE, DRAIN WATER FROM PUMP BY
REMOVING THE DRAIN PLUG AFTER EACH
USE, AND BEFORE STORAGE.
2. Long storage. Refer to engine manual for long term
storage.
