2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Introduction:
Economically designed petrol powered water pump with recoil
starting. Suitable for on site applications where mains power supply is
not available. Featuring 50mm inlet/outlet with 26mtr pumping head
offering a high flow rate up to 600ltr/min of water. Fitted on to frame
with high density rubber shock absorbers, frame also aids with
protection from accidental damage.
Model No: ....................................... EWP050
Motor Power: ........................................5.5hp
Motor Type: ...............................4-stroke/Unleaded
4.1.1 Take the two inlet/outlet connectors (3) and stretch a sealing
washer (5) over each connector and push it down over the ribs
so that it comes to rest on the connector flange.
4.1.2 Insert each connector into the back of a connector locking ring
(4) and push fully home.
4.1.3 Screw one connector assembly onto the pump inlet as shown
above in fig.2. Screw the other assembly onto the pump outlet
as shown above and hand tighten both.
4.1.4 Snap the filter basket cover (9) onto the top of the filter basket
(8) as shown in fig.3.
4.2CONNECTION TO FLEXIBLE PIPING (See fig.3)
4.2.1 Bearing in mind the depth of the water to be pumped and the
distance of the pump from the pumping site cut a suitable length
of flexible piping (int.Ø 50mm).
4.2.2 Slide a wire hose clamp over one end of the pipe and push the
filter basket assembly fully into the end of the pipe. Slide the
wire hose clamp back down over the joint and fully tighten to
retain the filter basket.
4.2.3 Slide a wire hose clamp over the other end of the pipe and push
the pipe fully onto the pump inlet connector. Slide the wire
hose clamp back down over the joint and fully tighten.
4.2.4 Cut the required length of flexible pipe for the outlet side of the
pump. Slide a wire hose clamp over the end of the pipe and
push the pipe fully onto the pump outlet connector. Slide the
wire hose clamp back down over the joint and fully tighten.
4.2.5 Submerge the filter basket in the water to be pumped. The filter
basket must be at least 0.3m below the surface of the water and
1.2m above the deepest part of the water to prevent debris
blocking the filter basket. (See fig.3). Ensure that the suction
pipe remains in the position intended.
4.2.6 Ensure that the outlet pipe is correctly placed to discharge into
the intended area.
4.2.7 IMPORTANT! Unscrew the cap from the priming port at the
top of the pump and fill the chamber with water. (See fig.2)
Replace the cap.
4.3CONNECTION TO RIGID PIPING
4.3.1 If the pump is required to service a particular situation on a
permanent or semi-permanent basis it may be plumbed in using
rigid piping connected directly to the threaded inlet and outlet
collars on the pump.
4.3.2 In this situation the pump must be sited on a level, stable
surface such as concrete and the connecting pipework must be
rigidly supported.
4.3.3 The pump must not be placed in an unventilated enclosure
where the exhaust gases cannot escape or may be a breathing
hazard to the operator.
4.3.4 The pump must also be sited to allow good access to all sides
of the unit in order to easily use and service the petrol engine.
fig.3
5. OPERATING THE PUMP
5.1. MANUAL STARTING PROCEDURE.
5.1.1 IMPORTANT! If the pump has not been primed, do it now,
otherwise the pump may be damaged. See section 4.2.7.
5.1.2 When the machine is new it should be 'run in'. This means
running the unit at low speed and low load for the first 20
hours.
5.1.3 Check engine oil level before each use.
5.1.4 Check that the inlet and outlet hoses are laid straight and
untwisted. Check to ensure there are no leaks from hoses or
5.1.5 Rotate the engine switch clockwise to the ON position. See fig.5.
5.1.6 Fig.4 shows the fuel tap in the OFF position. Push the fuel tap
over to the right to the open position.
5.1.7 If the engine is cold move the choke lever to the left to close
the choke.
5.1.8 Move the throttle lever left to the fully open position then
ease it back slightly, fig.4 shows the throttle in the fully
closed position.
5.1.9 Take hold of the recoil starter handle (see fig.5) and pull it
slowly until you feel resistance, then let it return slowly.
5.1.10Now pull the starting handle hard and fast all the way out. Use
two hands if necessary.
5.1.11 If the engine doesn’t start repeat the process from 5.1.8.
5.1.12Once started adjust throttle lever to the required setting and
return the choke to the open position when the engine is
warm.
5.2. SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE.
5.2.1 When pumping has finished stop the engine by pushing the
throttle lever fully to the right. (See fig.4) and turn the engine
switch to the OFF position.
5.2.2 Turn off the fuel tap. (See fig.4)
5.2.3 In an emergency turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
6. MAINTENANCE (PUMP)
Maintenance should only be performed with the engine turned
off and the unit disconnected from the inlet and outlet pipes.
6.1WINTER STORAGE: To prevent ice damage to the pump
during winter storage drain water out of the pump by removing
the stopper from the drain port seen in fig.2. Replace the
stopper when all water has drained out.
6.2PUMP SEALS: During the course of the working life of the
pump it may be necessary to replace the pump seals. If this
service is required the unit should be returned to your local
Sealey dealer for maintenance by qualified engineers.
7. MAINTENANCE (ENGINE)
7.1Change engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation.
Thereafter, change oil every six months or every 100 hours of
operation. Change oil more often if engine is operated under
heavy load, or in high ambient air temperatures. Top-up with
an SAE10W30 oil. Failure to change the the oil according to
the conditions defined above will invalidate your warranty.
at the lowest level or below, top-up immediately with an
SAE10W30 oil.
7.2.3 Screw dipstick fully home to seal oil fill hole.
fig.6
7.3CHANGING THE OIL.
7.3.1 Operate the engine for 3 minutes to warm the oil and then
stop the engine using the shut down procedure described in
section 5.2. Place a suitable container below the frame,
remove the plug and allow the oil to drain. Replace the drain
plug and refill with fresh oil. Check the oil level using the
dipstick. Dispose of the old oil according to local authority
guidelines.
7.4FUEL FILTER: The fuel filter is in the neck of the fuel tank.
Clean it every 300 hours.
7.5AIR FILTER. To access the air filter element unscrew and
remove the wing nut on the top of the cover. Lift the air filter
cover (1) off its threaded mounting rod
7.5.1 Remove the foam filter (2) from the air intake base moulding.
7.5.2 Wash the foam element with a household detergent or a high
flash-point solvent and squeeze dry. When the element is
thoroughly dry soak it in clean engine oil. Squeeze out any
excess oil, fit back over the air intake base moulding.
7.5.3 Place the air filter cover onto the threaded rod and secure with
the wing nut.
7.5.4 The foam element should be replaced after every 300 hours of
service.
fig.5
7.2CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL. Ensure the unit is on a level
surface.
7.2.1 Unscrew the dipstick/oil filler cap (see fig.5) and wipe it
clean of oil. Note that the maximum oil level should be just
below the opening of the filler neck.
7.2.2 Check the oil level by seating the dipstick into the hole
without screwing it in. See fig.6. On removal the oil level
should be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is
