GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The QP2E Centrifugal Pump is designed to handle all types of clear water applications. It is ideal for residential use such as dewatering basements and swimming pools. Both the suction and discharge ports on the pump use a 2-inch diameter opening, which allows the pump to pump at a rate of approximately 158 gallons/minute (gpm) or 600 liters/minute (lpm).
Centrifugal or self-priming pumps are designed to purge air from the suction line and create a partial vacuum in the pump body. The reduced atmospheric pressure inside the pump allows water to fl ow through the suction line and into the pump body. The centrifugal force created by the rotating impeller pressurizes the water and expels it from the pump.
ENGINE
This centrifugal pump is powered by an air-cooled 4-cycle, single cylinder Robin EX130D51111 gasoline engine.
STANDARD CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
Standard centrifugal pumps provide an economical choice for general purpose dewatering. These types of pumps should only be used in clear water applications (agricultural, industrial, residential) as they have a limited solid handling capability of only 10% by volume.
SUCTION LIFT
This pump is capable of suction lifts up to 25 feet at sea level. For optimal suction lift performance keep the suction hose or line as short as possible. In general, always place the pump as close to the water as possible.
ELEVATION
Higher elevations will effect the performance of the pump. Due to less atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, pumps do not have the priming ability that they have at sea level. This is due to the “thinner air” or lack of oxygen at higher altitudes.
A general rule of thumb is that for every 1,000 feet of elevation above sea level a pump will lose one foot of priming ability.
For example, in Flagstaff, Arizona where the elevation is approximately 7,000 feet, the pump would have a suction lift of only 18 feet rather than the 25 feet at sea level. Table 3 shows suction lift at various elevations.

PUMP SUPPORT
The pump should always be placed on solid stationary ground, on a level position.
NEVER place the pump on soft soil. The suction hose or pipe connection should always be checked for tightness and leaks. A small suction leak in the hose or fi ttings could prevent the pump from priming.

PUMP COMPONENTS
QP2E Pump ApplicationFigure 2.
Pump 1. — A 2-inch centrifugal pump used in general de- watering applications. Typical dewatering applications consist of dewatering basements and swimming pools.
Fill Cap 2. — Prior to operation, the pump casing should be fi lled with water. Remove this cap to add water to the pump. After the initial prime, a suffi cient amount of water will be retained in the casing so that the operator will not need to re-prime later.
If the casing is dry or has insuffi cient water, the pump
will have difficulty in priming which could lead to premature mechanical seal wear thus causing damage to the pump.
Discharge Port 3. — Connect a 2-inch discharge hose to this port.
Worm Clamp 4. — Used to secure the hose to the inlet and outlet ports on the pump. Use two clamps to secure the hose on the inlet side of the pump.
Discharge Hose 5. — Connect this flexible rubber hose to the discharge port on the pump. Make sure that the hose lays fl at and is not kinked. Use only recommended type discharge hose. Contact Multiquip parts department for ordering information.
Suction Port 6. — Connect a 2-inch inlet hose to this port. Use two worm clamps to secure the hose.
Suction Hose 7. — Connect this fl exible rubber hose to the suction port on the pump. Make sure that the hose lays fl at and is not kinked. Use only recommended type suction hose. Contact Multiquip Parts Department for ordering information.
Drain Plug 8. — Remove this plug to drain water from the pump.
Strainer 9. — Always attach a strainer to bottom side of the suction hose to prevent large objects and debris from entering the pump. Strainer should be positioned so that it will remain completely under water. Running the pump with the strainer above water for long periods can damage pump.

OPERATION
SETUP
Place pump as near to water as possible, on a fi rm 1. fl at, level surface.
To prime pump, remove fi ll cap (Figure 2) and fi ll pump 2. casing with water. If the pump casing is not fi lled with water before starting, it will not begin pumping.
Attach suction and discharge hoses to the pump. 3. Check that all hoses are securely attached to the pump. Make certain suction hose (Figure 2) does not have any air leakage. Tighten hose clamps and couplings as required.
It is recommended that 2 clamps be used when 4. securing the suction hose to the inlet side (suction) of the pump.
Remember suction hoses must be rigid enough not to 5. collapse when the pump is in operation.
Check that the discharge hose (Figure 2) is not 6. restricted. Place hose so that it lays as straight as it is possible on the ground. Remove any twists or sharp bends from hose which may block the fl ow of water.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to start the engine unless the pump
has previously been primed with water. Severe pump damage will occur if pump has not been primed.
INITIAL STARTUP
Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 6) in the "ON" position.9.
FUEL LEVER
Fuel Valve LeverFigure 6.
Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 7) in the "ON" 10. position.
NOTICE
Suction and discharge hoses are available from Multiquip. Contact your nearest dealer for more information.,
The discharge hose is usually a collapsible (thin-7. walled) hose. However if a thin-walled discharge hose is not available, a rigid suction hose can be substituted in its place.
Make sure the suction strainer (Figure 2) is clean 8. and securely attached to the water end of the suction hose. The strainer is designed to protect the pump by preventing large objects from being pulled into the pump.
CAUTION
The strainer should be positioned so it will remain completely under water. Running the pump with the strainer above water for long periods can damage the pump.

OPERATION
NOTICE
The CLOSED position of the choke lever enriches the fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine. The OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal operation after starting, and for restarting a warm engine.
Place the throttle lever (Figure 9) halfway between fast 12. and slow.
THROTTLE LEVER
FAST
Throttle LeverFigure 9.
SLOW
Grasp the starter grip (Figure 10) and slowly pull it out. 13. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding the compression point. Rewind the rope a little from that point and pull out sharply.
Check for fuel leaks and noises that would be 16. associated with a loose component.Check for leaks between pump and engine. If water is leaking between the pump and engine housing, the seal inside the pump may be worn or damaged. Continued operation of the pump is not recommended. Further usage of the pump under these conditions may cause severe water damage to engine.
OPERATION
Once the engine has started, move the engine throttle 1. lever quickly to the fast position to begin pumping. If water is not fl owing out of the discharge port, turn off the engine and check for and clear any obstructions within the suction hose.
WARNING
Water must always be fl owing through the pump casing while the engine is running. Loss of fl ow may be the result of a loss of prime, restricted water fl ow or a dead­head situation. Please note that in such a condition, water in the pump can reach temperatures of 150-200°F in 15 to 20 minutes. This can cause serious burns if this hot water comes into contact with unprotected skin. Before touching or opening the fi ll plug or drain plug, fi rst turn off the engine and allow the pump casing to cool to the touch, and then open the pump carefully. Be cautious of any built up water pressure.
CAUTION
ALWAYS run engine at full speed while pumping.
