QP3TE — GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICATION
QP3TE Trash Pump
The
is designed to be used for dewatering
applications. Both the suction and discharge ports on the QP3TE
trash pump use a 3-inch diameter opening, which allows the
pump to pump at a rate of approximately 396 gallons/minute
(gpm) or 1,500 liters/minute (lpm).
Trash 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 flow
through the suction line and into the pump body.
Power Plant
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.
This trash pump is powered by an 9.0 horsepower air cooled 4stroke, single cylinder
incorporates a low "

Trash Pump
000,6)301.2(09.6)961.3(4.01)602.4(8.31)372.5(3.71
Trash pumps derive their name from their ability to handle a
greater amount of debris and solids than standard centrifugal
pumps. These pumps generally handle solids up to 1/2 the size
of the discharge opening making them less likely to clog. Also
trash pumps are capable of handling water with 25% solids by
weight.
Table 4 shows percentage drops in performance as elevation
increases.
The advantage of using a trash pump is that it can be quickly and
easily disassembled in the field "
without tools
" and easily
cleaned when clogged.
Suction Lift
This pump is intended to be used for dewatering applications
and 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.
. The suction hose or pipe
connection should always be checked for tightness and leaks. A
small suction leak in the hose or fittings could prevent the pump
from priming.

QP3TE — PUMP COMPONENTS
Figure 2 shows a typical application using the QP3TE Trash pump. Please note that this pump is intended for the removal of clean
water and water containing some debris and solids. Maximum size of solids should not exceed 1.5 inch (38 mm) in diameter. DONOT set strainer on bottom of water bed. Placing the strainer above the water bed will prevent the pump from drawing in excessive
amounts of sand and foreign debris.
Figure 2. QP3TE Pump Application
1.Pump – The model QP3TE is a 3-inch trash pump used in
general dewatering applications. Typical dewatering
applications consist of manholes, septic tanks, fast and
slow seepage ditch water, silt water, mud water and muck
water.
2.Fill Cap – Prior to operation, the pump casing should be
filled with water. Remove this cap to add water to the pump.
After the initial prime, a sufficient 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 insufficient water, the pump will
have difficulty in priming which could lead to premature
mechanical seal wear thus causing damage to the pump.
3.Discharge Port – Connect a 3-inch discharge hose to this
port.
4.Worm Clamp – 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.
5.Discharge Hose – Connect this flexible rubber hose to
the discharge port on the pump. Make sure that the hose
lays flat and is not kinked. Use only recommended type
discharge hose. Contact Multiquip Parts Department for
ordering information.

DANGER
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when
the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to
cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the
engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the
area surrounding the engine is dry. If pump is placed in a truck bed
with a plastic liner, REMOVE pump from truck bed and place on

QP3TE — PREPARATION FOR LONG -TERM STORAGE
Pump Storage
For storage of the pump for over 30 days, the following is
required:
Drain the fuel tank completely.
Run the engine until the fuel in the injection system is
completely consumed.
Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase
and fill with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedures
described in the engine manual for engine storage.
Remove the drain plug from the pump and drain out any
water from left in the housing.
Remove the pump cover and clean inside of pump
housing. Coat inside of pump housing with a light film of
oil to reduce corrosion. A spray can of oil works well for
this application.
Cover suction and discharge ports with duct tape to
prevent any foreign matter from falling into pump.
Cover pump and engine with plastic covering or
equivalent and store in a clean, dry place.
To protect the water cooled-seals, place one-half pint of
lubricating oil (new or used) through the discharge opening
on the pump and crank the engine several times. This
will prevent excessive corrosion and also keep the
mechanical seal lubricated.
