APPLICATION
Use this pump for water only, where the vertical suction head from the water level is 25 ft (8m) or less. Do not exceed the maximum suction head.
Head refers to the height of a column of water that can be delivered by the discharge of the pump (Figure 1). Suction head (or suction lift) is the
vertical distance between the center of the pump and the surface of the liquid on the suction side of the pump. Discharge head is the vertical distance
between the pump's discharge port and the point of discharge. Total head is the sum of the suction head and the discharge head. The elevation above
sea level and friction losses must be taken into consideration.

PUMP PLACEMENT
Risk of injury or property damage from re.
• The pump must be at least 5 feet from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials such as leaves, grass, and
brush.
• Reflective exhaust heat may damage the fuel tank, causing fire. Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of the pump for adequate
cooling, maintenance, and servicing.
1. Locate the pump outdoors in a well-ventilated place on a flat, level surface.
2. Place pump on a rigid, level foundation to prevent the pump from tipping, rolling, sliding or creeping while operating. If the pump is not
stable, the weight of liquid-filled hoses could cause the unit to tip over.
3. Use a non-collapsible hose on the suction side of the pump and keep the suction hose as short as possible. A collapsed, kinked, obstructed or
long suction hose will reduce priming and pumping performance, and may contribute to loss of prime which can cause pump overheating.
4. Use a suction hose the same size as the suction port on the pump. If the suction hose is long, increase it by one size to improve flow.
5. Slope the suction hose upwards to the pump to avoid air pockets in the hose and hard priming.
6. If the suction hose is oriented vertically, use an elbow on the suction hose-to-pump connection to prevent kinking.
7. Keep the discharge hose as short as possible to allow the pump to have the greatest output.
8. Use thread compound on all pipe joints and double clamps on all hose joints. Connections must be air-tight.
9. A strainer basket must be installed on the end of the suction hose to filter debris and abrasives. Never operate the pump without the strainer
basket installed.
10. Position the end of the discharge hose where you want to discharged water to be pumped. Secure/anchor the discharge hose to avoid whipping.
IMPORTANT: One of the main causes of pumping problems is a leak in the suction line. Even a very small leak will reduce priming and pumping
performance greatly.
OPERATION
Preparing the Engine
Refer to and follow the engine manufacturer's instructions for preparing the engine before operating, for example oil level, air filter, fuel level, etc.
Risk of severe injury or death.
• Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosions can cause severe burns or death. Do not add fuel indoors. Do
not add fuel when the engine is running or hot. Do not light cigarettes or smoke when adding fuel. Keep fuel away from furnaces, stoves,
water heaters, clothes dryers, or other appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source (heat, flame, sparks, lit cigarette, etc.)
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
• When adding fuel, ensure that the pump is outdoors on a flat, level surface. Do not add fuel to pump while indoors. Turn the pump
OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank. Refer to the engine
manufacturer's instructions for recommended fuel type and proper procedure for adding fuel.
• If fuel is spilled, avoid starting engine or creating any source of ignition until the fuel evaporates or is cleaned up and any fuel vapors have
dissipated.
Risk of damage to equipment.
• Do not attempt to start the engine before it has been filled properly with the recommended type and amount of oil. Failure to follow
these instructions will void the warranty and cause damage to the engine. Refer to the engine manufacturer's instructions for oil type and
proper procedure for adding oil. Check the engine oil level before every use and add as needed.
5
Priming the Pump
Risk of damage to equipment.
• Do not operate the pump without priming it. Water is required to lubricate the pump seal. Operating the pump dry will permanently
damage the pump seal. Be sure pump housing is completely filled with water before starting the engine.
1. Remove the priming plug.
2. Fill the pump housing completely with water.
3. Replace the priming plug and tighten securely.
NOTE: If the pump is below the level of the water that will be pumped (flooded suction), the pump will automatically fill up when the valves are open.
Operating the Pump
Risk of damage to equipment.
• Do not allow this pump to operate unattended. If you leave the pump for any reason, always turn the engine o.
• Do not allow vehicles to drive over suction or discharge hoses. If a hose must be positioned across a roadway, use planking on each side of
the hose to protect the hose and allow vehicles to pass over without obstructing or collapsing hose. Driving over an unprotected discharge
hose while pump is operating may cause damage to pump housing.
1. Ensure that the pump is on a flat, level surface.
2. Do not block or restrict inlet or discharge hoses. Remove kinks from inlet and discharge hoses before starting pump. Operation with a blocked
inlet or discharge hose can cause water inside pump to overheat.
3. Refer to the engine manufacturer's instructions for proper procedure for starting and stopping the engine.
4. In a flooded suction situation, the pump will discharge water almost immediately. If the suction hose is above the water level being pumped,
it will take a few minutes to lift the water to the pump housing and then to discharge it. If the suction hose is long, the pump may overheat
before the water in the suction hose reaches the pump. If this occurs:
a) Turn the engine o and remove the drain plug and priming plug to drain the pump housing.
b) Wait a few minutes for the seal in the pump housing to cool. If the overheated housing is filled while hot, damage to the seal will occur.
c) Replace the drain plug and refill the housing with water.
d) Replace the priming plug and tighten securely.
e) Restart the engine following the engine manufacturer's instructions.
5. If the pump does not perform as specified, check the Installation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting sections carefully.
6. When finished pumping, turn o the engine following the engine manufacturer's instructions.
7. Allow unit to cool completely.
8. After cooling, remove the priming plug and drain plug from the pump housing and allow it to drain completely.
