Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas
is colorless and odorless, and can
cause death if inhaled. NEVER operate
this equipment in a confined area or
enclosed structure that does not provide
ample free flow air.
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and
its vapors can cause an explosion if
ignited. DO NOT start the engine near
spilled fuel or combustible fluids.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or
hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if
it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in
well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

■
NEVER pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic
substances. These fluids could create serious health and
environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for

watering applications. Both the suction and discharge ports on
the QP-40TE pump use a 4-inch diameter opening, which allows
the pump to pump at a rate of approximately 425 gallons/minute
(gpm) or 1,600 liters/minute (lpm).
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 flow
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.
Power Plant
This trash pump is powered by an 11 horsepower air cooled 4stroke, single cylinder
incorporates a low "
Oil Alert Feature
In the event of
a built-in oil alarm engine shut-down feature. In the event the oil
level is low the engine will automatically shut-down.
Trash Pump
Trash pump derive their name from their ability to handle a greater
amount of debris and solids than standard centrifugal pump.
These types of 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.

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 put the pump as close to the
water as possible.

connection should always be checked for tightness and leaks. A
small suction leak in the hose or fittings could prevent the pump
from priming.
Elevation
Elevations over 3,000 feet will effect the performance of the
pump. Due to less atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, pump
DO NOT have the priming ability that they have at sea level.
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.

QP- 40TE — PUMP COMPONENTS
Figure 2 shows a typical application using the QP-40TE 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 2 inches (50 mm)
in diameter. DO NOT 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. QP-40TE Pump Application
1. Pump – The model QP-40TE is 4-inch trash pump used in
general de-watering 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 4-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
ground (Figure 3) to refuel. The possibility of
