INTRODUCTION
1-1 Using Your Tsurumi Operation, Repair and Service Manual
We thank you for purchasing a Tsurumi centrifugal pump. We are sure that the centrifugal pump you
have selected will meet your portable pumping needs.
This manual applies to the Tsurumi centrifugal pumps listed below. Specifications for the centrifugal
pumps are provided in the SPECIFICATIONS section. Key features of the centrifugal pump are shown
in the DESCRIPTION section.
This manual provides instructions for operation, service, and repair of your centrifugal pump. We
strongly recommend that those who operate the centrifugal pump become familiar with the centrifugal
pump’s features and controls, and read the operating instructions before using the centrifugal pump.
The Operation, Repair, and Service Manual provides instructions to service, checkout, and repair the
centrifugal pump. This manual also provides replacement parts information.
Repair and service information for the Honda engine is provided in the Owner’s Manual for Models
GX160, GX240, and GX340. A copy of the Owner’s Manual has been provided in the centrifugal pump’s
literature package. Parts information for the Honda Engine is available in Honda’s Parts Catalogs.
When there are differences between centrifugal pump models, separate instructions are provided. The
separate instructions are provided to make sure the correct procedures are used on the affected centrifugal pumps.
All information in the Tsurumi manuals is based upon the latest production configuration of the centrifugal pump at the time of printing.
If you have a problem with your centrifugal pump that cannot be resolved using the Operation, Repair,
and Service Manual, or if you have questions about the operation, service, repair, or maintenance of
your centrifugal pump, contact your local Tsurumi centrifugal pump dealer.
1-2 Precautions
Pay special attention to precautionary notes preceded by the words WARNING,CAUTION, and NOTE.
W
ARNINGS indicate that there is a strong possibility of personal injury or loss of life if the procedure
is not followed, or if cleaning, lubricating, adhesives, and other materials are not used properly.
CA
UTIONS indicate that there is a possibility of equipment damage if instructions are not followed.
NO
TES are used in procedures to provide additional or supplemental information to make the proce-
dure easier or more efficient.
W
ARNING:
• The centrifugal pump is designed to give safe and dependable service when operated accord-
ing to the instructions in the technical manual provided with the centrifugal pump.

• Do not operate the centrifugal pump before you have read and understand the instructions
and the engine manufacturer’s manual. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
1-3 Safety Precautions
WARNING:
• IN ORDER TO ASSURE SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE CENTRIFUGAL PUMP,
OPERATORS SHOULD READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
• Do not operate the centrifugal pump near gasoline or gaseous fuels because of the poten-
tial danger from explosion or fire.
• Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Be careful not to spill fuel during
refueling. If fuel is spilled, wipe it off and let it dry before starting the engine.
• Do not smoke or use an open flame near the fuel tank.
• Do not place flammable materials near the centrifugal pump. Be careful not to place fuel,
matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, or any other combustibles near the centrifugal pump.
• Do not operate the centrifugal pump inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other insufficiently ven-
tilated area. Always operate the centrifugal pump in a well-ventilated area. The engine may
become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas contained in the exhaust gases will
endanger human lives.
• Keep the centrifugal pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or building dur-
ing use. When a centrifugal pump is located close to a building or nearby equipment, heat and
exhaust from the engine will cause the surrounding temperature to rise. This will degrade the
engine’s cooling efficiency, causing overheating.
• Do not enclose the centrifugal pump nor cover it with a box. The centrifugal pump has a built-
in, forced-air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed.
• Operate the centrifugal pump on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a special foun-
dation for the centrifugal pump. However, the centrifugal pump will vibrate on an irregular surface.
Therefore, choose a level place without surface irregularities.
• Shutoff the centrifugal pump when moving the centrifugal pump to another work site. It the
centrifugal pump is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or the centrifugal pump may
tip over, causing a hazardous situation. Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the centrifugal
pump is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, the piston may seize; it may seize
even if the oil is above the upper level.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2-1 Operating Controls
A. The centrifugal pump is operated using the engine operating controls. The engine controls
are located at the engine end of the pump frame.
B. The controls consist of a throttle lever (for speed control), choke lever (for cold weather
starting), fuel shutoff lever (to prevent fuel spills), and a recoil starter (to turnover engine
by hand). (Refer to Figure 2-1.)
2-2. Check the Engine Oil Level
CAUTION:
• ENGINE OIL IS A MAJOR FACTOR AFFECTING PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE LIFE.
NON-DETERGENT OILS AND 2-STROKE OILS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE
THEY HAVE INADEQUATE LUBRICATING CHARACTERISTICS
• CHECK THE OIL LEVEL WITH THE ENGINE ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND THE ENGINE
STOPPED.
A. Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or use an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil cer-
tified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service
Classification SG, SF. Motor oils classified SG, SF will show this designation on the container. SAE 10W/30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use.
B. Other viscosity grades (see Figure 2-2) may be used when the average temperature in your
area is within the indicated range.
