2.2 Operating Safety
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of equipment. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment before being allowed to operate the machine.
2.2.1 NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper training. People operating this equipment must be familiar with the risks and hazards associated with it.
2.2.2 NEVER touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may cause burns.
2.2.3 NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by Wacker. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may result.
2.2.4 NEVER leave machine running unattended.
2.2.5 NEVER operate this machine in applications for which it is not intended.
2.2.6 NEVER open the priming plug when the pump is hot. Never loosen or remove inlet or discharge hose fittings when the pump is hot. Hot water inside could be pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile. Allow the pump to cool to the touch before loosening the plug and before loosening or removing the inlet or discharge hose fittings.
2.2.7 NEVER position the pump on a loose, uneven, or unstable surface where it can tip, roll, slide or fall! The pump must be secure before operating. Position the pump on a firm, flat surface; adjust the trailer jacks to be sure the pump is level and supported firmly.
2.2.8 NEVER open the pump housing cover while the pump is operating or start the pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump can cut or sever objects caught in it.
2.2.9 NEVER block or restrict flow from the inlet line or the discharge line. Remove kinks from the discharge line before starting the pump. Operation with a blocked inlet line or discharge line can cause water inside the pump to overheat.
2.2.10 NEVER reach into or insert anything into the pump while the engine is on! The impeller inside the pump housing is turning at all times while the engine is running.
2.2.11 DO NOT allow anyone to stand in front of the discharge port when starting the engine or while priming the pump! The sudden out-rush of water could push or knock a person down.
WARNING
Safety Information PT 6 /...

4.6 To Start
See Graphic: wc_gr001166
4.6.1 Loosen the throttle lever knob (c) and set the engine throttle (d) to high speed. Tighten the throttle lever knob.
4.6.2 Open the cover on the battery box (a) and turn and hold the ignition key (b) to the ON position until the glow plug light on the control panel goes out. Then, turn the ignition key to the START position. Release the key after the engine starts. It will spring back into the ON position.
Note: The engine will not start if the oil pressure is too low or the cylinder head temperature exceeds the preset value.
The pump should prime and begin pumping within a minute or two. At high suction lifts or low engine speeds, the pump will require a longer period of time to prime. If the pump does not prime, shut off the engine and refer to the section on troubleshooting.
NOTICE: DO NOT crank the starter for more than 15–20 seconds at a time; the starter motor can overheat and be damaged.
NOTICE: DO NOT run the pump dry for long periods of time or run the pump without oil in the bearing/seal housing. The mechanical seal could overheat and be damaged.
Adjusting Pump Flow:
Pump flow can be set by adjusting the speed of the engine.
4.6.1 To set the engine speed, loosen the throttle lever knob (c) and adjust the throttle lever (d).
4.6.2 Tighten the throttle lever knob to hold the throttle lever in place while the pump is operating. When priming the pump, set the throttle lever at full speed until the pump flow begins; then, adjust the throttle lever to the desired speed.
4.7 To Stop
See Graphic: wc_gr001166
4.7.1 Turn ignition key (b) to OFF.
NOTICE: If temperatures are expected to fall below freezing during the
night, be sure to drain the pump housing (e) while the pump is not in use.
PT 6 /... Operation
wc_tx000261gb.fm 21
4.8 Automatic Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with an automatic shutdown system to protect it from damage should a low oil pressure or a high cylinder temperature condition occur.
During a low-oil-pressure condition, the low-oil-pressure switch opens cutting power to the throttle solenoid. During a high-cylinder­temperature condition, the engine temperature switch shorts to ground. This trips the circuit breaker and cuts power to the throttle solenoid. Whenever power is cut to the throttle solenoid, it de­energizes. When the throttle solenoid is de-energized, the engine stops.
If the engine stops unexpectedly and the circuit breaker trips, it is a sign of a problem with the fan belt. Check the fan belt and replace it if necessary. Reset the circuit breaker before resuming use of the pump.
If the engine stops unexpectedly without the circuit breaker tripping, check the amount of oil in the engine crankcase. Fill the engine crankcase with oil as needed.
4.9 Important Operation Note
NOTICE: DO NOT run the pump in less than 1.2 m (4.0 ft.) of water!
At this level the water begins to form a funnel down to the bottom of the suction line and strainer, allowing the pump to draw in air. The mixture of air and water leads to a condition known as cavitation, which will quickly destroy the impeller and the water chamber inside the pump housing

4.10 Hoses
Suction hoses must be rigid enough not to collapse. Make sure the suction hose is in good condition. A hole or tear in the suction hose above the water line will prevent the pump from priming.
NOTICE: Always use a strainer on the end of the suction hose to
prevent pulling in large debris which could clog the pump or jam the impeller.
Discharge hoses are usually thin-walled collapsible hoses; however, rigid hoses like those used on the suction side can also be used.
Lay the discharge hose as straight as possible. Avoid sharp bends and turns.
Note: Both suction and discharge hoses are available through Wacker Corporation.
4.11 Hose Couplings
A variety of couplings are available to attach the hoses to the suction and discharge ports as well as to connect two hose lengths together.
4.12 Hose Clamps
Suction Hose to Inlet Port Coupling
At least two T-bolt clamps are recommended for connection of the suction hose to the pump inlet. Index clamps at 90° intervals for best seal. Add additional clamps if the pump has trouble priming.
Note: The smallest air leak on the suction side of the pump will prevent the pump from priming.
Other hose connections
Normally only one T-bolt or worm gear clamp is required to hold the hoses in place. In some cases, variances in hose diameters may make it necessary to add extra clamps to maintain a reliable connection.
PT 6 /... Operation
wc_tx000261gb.fm 23
4.13 Strainer
NOTICE: DO NOT use a strainer with holes larger than the maximum
solid-size rating of the pump—50 mm (2 in.). DO NOT place the strainer directly into mud or sand. Always keep the strainer suspended in the liquid being pumped. Failure to follow the above directives may cause pump damage.
4.14 Discharge Port
See Graphic: wc_gr001184
The discharge port (a) can be rotated 360° to direct water flow in any direction.
To rotate the elbow:
4.14.1 Remove the locknuts (b) which hold the port to the pump housing.
4.14.2 Lift the port off the studs and position it as desired. Always check the gasket and replace it if it is damaged.
4.14.3 Tighten the locknuts evenly. Torque them to 160 Nm (118 ft. lbs).

4.16 Hitching and Towing the Trailer
See Graphic: wc_gr003185
Before hitching and towing the trailer, check the following:
Check that the vehicle, towing hitch, and coupler have a rating
equal to or greater than the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). See Technical Data for trailer weight.
Check tread wear and inflation of the trailer’s tires. Make sure all
the lug nuts are in place and tight.
Make sure that the trailer coupler and towing vehicle’s hitch are
compatible. The trailer is equipped with either a pintle-style cou­pler or a 2" or 2-5/16" ball coupler.
Check the condition of the trailer’s coupler and the hitch on the
towing vehicle. DO NOT tow the trailer if the coupler or the hitch are damaged.
Check that the coupler and the hitch ball are clean; then, apply a
film of grease to the coupler and the hitch ball. A film of grease will extend the coupler and ball life and eliminate squeaking.
Check that all the pins and bolts on the tongue are secure.
To hitch the trailer:
4.16.1 Back your vehicle as close as possible to the trailer. It is easier and safer to back the tow vehicle under the trailer than to pull the trailer to the vehicle.
4.16.2 Check that the coupler locking device (h) is released.
4.16.3 Raise the trailer coupler using the tongue jack (d) to a height just above the ball on the hitch. Carefully position the vehicle so the ball on the hitch is under the coupler. Lower the jack until the coupler is all the way down over the ball.
4.16.4 Check under the coupling to be sure that the ball clamp is below the ball and not riding on top of it.
4.16.5 Clamp the coupler to the hitch ball. To be sure it is clamped and securely in place, raise up on the trailer tongue. If it comes loose from the ball, release the ball clamp and repeat step 3.
4.16.6 After the trailer is hitched to the towing vehicle, lock the rear stabilizers (k) and the tongue jack (d) in the UP positions.
4.16.7 Make sure the wiring harness (g) is connected to the vehicle and that the tail, stop, and turn lights (e) and side marker lights (f) work.
4.16.8 Connect the safety chains (c) in a crossing pattern under the trailer tongue.
PT 6 /... Operation
wc_tx000261gb.fm 27
When towing, maintain extra space between the vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs, and sudden lane changes. If you have not pulled the trailer before, practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an area away from traffic.
DO NOT exceed 55 mph when towing the trailer.
In most states, large trailers must be registered and licensed by the State Department of Transportation. Before towing, be sure to check licensing requirements.
Always refer to the applicable Department of Transportation regulations before towing.

5.18 Tires
Keep the tires properly inflated and make sure they have the proper load rating. Under-inflated tires may cause a blowout which could result in fishtailing or loss of control of the towing vehicle.
Always maintain full air pressure as indicated by the tire manufacturer on the tire's sidewalls. Check air pressure when the tires are cold, before you move the trailer. When the trailer tires become worn or damaged, replace them promptly with the same type, size, and load capacity as the original tires.
For convenience and safety, it is recommended that you carry a spare wheel and tire.
5.19 Wheels and Lug Nuts
Loose or missing lug nuts can cause you to lose a wheel! Keep all lug nuts tight.
Before each trip, check for loose or missing lug nuts. When replacing lug nuts, make sure the replacement nut matches the original nut exactly. While the threads of the nut may match, the nut may be a size that does not hold the wheel securely against the hub even when fully tightened. Torque nuts evenly in increments to 115 Nm (85 ft.lbs.).
Note: During normal use, the lug nuts will seat during the first one hundred miles resulting in a drop in torque. Each nut should be checked at that time and torqued to the proper value.

5.21 Safety Chains
See Graphic: wc_gr003181
Failure to properly attach the safety chains between your trailer and the tow vehicle can result in a runaway trailer; should the coupler and hitch separate while towing.
Safety chains (c) on your trailer provide added protection that it will not become separated from the towing vehicle. Make sure the chains are correctly attached between the towing vehicle and the trailer before each trip.
Chains should be attached in a crossing pattern under the trailer tongue. The chains will prevent the trailer tongue from dropping to the ground if the trailer separates from the hitch. Rig the chains as tight as possible with just enough slack to permit tight turns.
If a chain must be replaced, do not substitute a lighter weight chain. This trailer must be equipped with two chains, each with a minimum breaking strength of no less than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the trailer. All chain attachments, including hooks, must be at least as strong as the chain. Replace damaged chains. DO NOT weld or attempt to repair damaged chains.
