Never attempt to pump volatile, flammable, or
corrosive liquids. This could cause damage to
the pump and its operator(s).
SAFETY
Only operate this unit outside with adequate venti-
lation. This pump’s gas engine exhaust produces
carbon monoxide gas that can cause unconscious-
ness and death.
Operate this equipment at a true horizontial posi-
tion.
Never store pump with fuel in the tank where gas
fuel vapors could be ignited by a flame, spark, or
pilot light from an appliance such as a furnace, water
heater, or clothes dryer.
Make certain that all hose connections and piping are secure and properly supported before
operation.
Do not operate the pump for extended periods
of time with the discharge valve closed. It will
cause pump parts to deteriorate, and may
cause explosion due to high internal pressure
and heat. It can also cause damage to the
pumps ceramic seals
Do not remove covers, plates, gauges, pipe
plugs or fittings from an overheated pump. Internal pressure could cause the parts to be
ejected at high velocities. Allow the pump to
completely cool before servicing.
If over heating occurs:
1. Stop pump immediately
2. Ventilate the area
3. Allow the pump to cool completely
4. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates,
plugs, or gauges.
5. Vent pump slowly and cautiously
6. Refer to manual before restarting pump
Do not operate internal combustion engine in
an explosive atmosphere.
Never tamper with the governor to gain more
power. The maximum continuous pump speed of
3500 RPM is set at the factory and / not be exceeded
or altered.
Never insert any object through the cooling slots
of the engine. You will damage the unit or cause
injury.
Never refuel a hot or running engine. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Always use the correct type of
fuel. Leave 1/2” between top of fuel and bottom of
tank neck.
This pump was designed for specific applications.
DO NOT attempt to modify the unit in any way or
use it for any application that it was not designed to
do. Ask the dealer or contact the factory if you have
any questions concerning the pumps application.
Warnings and cautions in this manual and on decals and tags on the unit are not all inclusive. It
would be impossible to anticipate every circumstance that might involve a hazard. Handling, op-
erating, or servicing this unit by any other proce
-dure not mentioned will void the warranty.
CAUTION! The engine exhaust contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

SETTING UP TRASH PUMP
WARNING!
Never operate an internal combustion engine in an
explosive atmosphere. Do not operate engine in
enclosed areas without proper ventalation
CAUTION!
Pumps and related equipment must be installed
and operated accoring to all national, local, and
industry standards.
MOUNTING
Place the pump as close as possible to the liquid
being pumped. A level mounting position is
required for proper operation.
To ensure sufficient fuel and lubrication, DO
NOT position the pump at more than a 15
degree angle off the horizontal.
Suction and Discharge Piping
WARNING!
Never tamper with governor to gain power. The
maximum continuous operating speed of 3500
RPM is set at the factory.
Inspection
This pump assembly was inspected and tested
before shipment from the factory. Inspect the
pump for any damage that may have occurred
during shipping. Check as follows:
A. Inspect the pump and engine for cracks, dents,
damaged threads and other obviousdamage.
B. Check for loose hardware, tighten if necessary.
Gaskets tend to shrink, check for loose hardware
at mating surfaces.
C. Carefully read all tags, decals, on the pump
assembly. Followall directions.
D. Damageto equipment created by the carrier must
be claimedagainst the carrier.
Pump performance is adversely effected by
increased suction lift , discharge elevation, and
friction losses.
Keepdischarge line as straightas possibleto
minimize friction loss. Minimize the use of
elbows and fittingswhichincreasefrictionloss.Do
not reduce the discharge hole to induce water
pressure.
Before tightening a connection flange, align it
exactly with the pump port. Never align the
hose by tightening the flange bolts.
Lines near the pump must be independently
supported to minimize strain on the pump.
Pump strain can lead to a decreased pump life.
To avoid air pockets when priming, the suction
line must be as short and direct as possible, but at
least 8 feet long, and not to exceed
15 feetin length.
Positioning Pump
LIFTING
The pump is designed to be lightweight and
portable. Pump is protected by a rollover base
that also serves as a two man carry handle.
Customer installed equipment, such as the
suctionhose,must be removed before attempting
tolift.
Suction lines must be the samesize as the pump
inlet.
A strainer must be used at all times with no
greater than 3\4inchopenings.
Slight leaks will affect priming, especially
when operating with a high suction lift. All
suction line connections should be sealed with
pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible with liquid being pumped.

OPERATION OF THE TRASH PUMP
WARNING!
This pump is designed to pump non-volitile, nonflammable liquids containing specified entrained
solids. Do not attempt to pump volitile, flam-
mable, or corrosive liquids.
CAUTION!
Never operate pump unless there is liquid in the
pump casing. The pump will not prime when dry.
Extended operation of dry pump will destroy the
seal assembly.
WARNING!
Never tamper with governor to gain power. The
maximum continuous operating speed of 3500
RPM is set at the factory.
Priming
Never operate pump unless there is water in
thepump housing.
Addliquid to the pump casingwhen:
1. The pump is being put into servicefor the first
time.
2. The pump has not been used for a considerable
length of time.
3. The liquid in the pump casing has evaporated.
To fill the pump, remove the pumpfillplug at the top
of the pumpcasing. Addclean liquid untilthe casing
is filled past the flapper on the suction valve of the
pump and replace the cover or plug. Insure the
flapper seals and waterremains in the pump.
Run the engine at maximum governed speed
during the priming cycle. With a suction lift of 5
to 10 feet the pump should prime within 1 minute.
Themaximum suction lift of 15 feet(at sea level)
should require no morethan2 minutes for theinitial
prime. Ifthe pumpdoesnot prime withinfiveminutes, shutoff the engine andtrouble shoot.
The suction hose should be a minimum of 8 feet
long and have a wire filter screen, to prevent hard
solid objectsfrom enteringthe pump and damaging
theimpellor and seals.
Starting the Engine
(See page 6)
Always check oil before starting use.
Operation
Priming is indicatedby quieter operation. The
pump may notprime immediately because the
suction linemust first fillwith liquid. If thepump
failsto primein five minutes check the suction
hose for leaks.
LEAKING
No leakage should be visible at pumpmating
surfaces, or at pumpconnectionsand fittings.
Keep allconnections and fittings tightto ensure
maximum pumpefficiency.Use a lubricant on
suction hosethreadsto assist in sealing suction
hose.
LIQUID TEMPERATURE
The maximum liquidtemperatureof the pumpis
110 degrees F. Overheating can occur if the
pumpis operated with the suctionor discharge
valves closed. If overheatingoccurs allow for the
pump to coolbefore servicing it. Refill thepump
case with cool liquid.
STRAINER
If a strainer has been shipped orinstalled by the
user, check it regularlyand clean it whenneces-
sary. Do not run the pump without a strainer.(See
previous notes.)
STOPPING
Neverhaltthe flow of liquid suddenly.
Reduce the throttle speed slowlyand allow the
engine to idle brieflybefore stopping.
COLDWEATHER PRESERVATION
Drain the pump to prevent freezingdamage.
Clean out anysolid by flushing with a hose.
