air ratio will need to be adjusted by a qualied mechanic to allow efcient high-altitude use and to prevent

damage to the engine and any other devices used with this product. The fuel system on this engine may

be inuenced by operation at higher altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured by installing an altitude kit

at altitudes higher than 3000 ft. above sea level. At elevations above 8000 ft, the engine may experience

decreased performance, even with the proper main jet. Operating this engine without the proper altitude kit

installed may increase the engine’s emissions and decrease fuel economy and performance. The kit should

be installed by a qualied mechanic.

DIAGRAM

Before Operating the Pump, check the following.

Look around and underneath

the pump for signs of oil or

gasoline leaks.

Check that all nuts, bolts,

screws, hose connectors and

clamps are tightened.

Remove any excessive dirt or

debris, especially around the

engine mufer and recoil starter.

Look for signs of damage. Check the general condition

of the hoses. Be sure the

hoses are in serviceable

condition before connecting

them to the pump.

Check that the sealing washer,

in the suction hose connector

is in good condition.

INSTALLATION

Before Operating the Pump, check the following.

Check that the sealing washer,

in the suction hose connector is

in good condition.

Check that the hose

connectors and clamps are

securely installed.

Check that the strainer is in good

condition and installed on the

suction hose

Check the engine oil level.

Running the engine with a

low oil level can cause engine

damage.

Check the air lter. A dirty air

lter will restrict air ow to the

carburetor, reducing engine

performance.

Check the fuel level. Starting with

full tank will help to eliminate or

reduce operating interruptions for

refueling.

HOSE INSTALLATIOM

1. Use the commercially available hose and

hose connector with the hose clamp provided

with the pump. The suction hose must be

reinforced with a non-collapsible wall or

braided wire construction.

2. The suction hose should be no longer than

necessary. Pump performance is best when

the pump is near the water level, and the

hoses are short.

3. Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the

hose connector to the suction hose in order

to prevent air leakage and loss of suction.

Verify that the hose connector sealing

washers is in good condition.

4. Install the strainer (provided with the

pump) on the other end of the suction

hose, and secure it with a hose clamp.

The strainer will help to prevent the pump

from becoming clogged or damaged by

debris.

5. Securely tighten the hose connector on

the pump suction port.

PRIMING THE PUMP

1. Remove the plug. 2. Fill with water.

3. Install the plug.

OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Use the mixture of gasoline

and two-stroke engine oil,

volume ratio is 25~30:1

2. Close the chock, if the engine

is heated, the chock must be

opened completely.

3. Press the priming pump

several times until a fuel

ow in the fuel return tube is

seen.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine to OFF.

2. Under normal conditions, to stop the engine slide the throttle to SLOW, then switch the engine to OFF.

4. To start a cold engine, move the

choke lever to the close position.

To restart a warm engine, leave

the choke lever in the open

position. The choke lever opens

and closes the choke valve in

the carburetor.

5. Move the throttle lever away

from the slow position, about

1/3 of the way toward the fast

position.

6. Turn the engine switch to

the ON position. The engine

switch enables and disables

the ignition system.

7. Operate the Recoil Starter:

Pull the starter grip lightly until

you feel resistance, then pull

briskly. Return the starter grip

gently.

8. If the Choke lever has been

moved to the Closed position to

start the engine, gradually move

it to the Open position as the

engine warms up.

1. For best Pump performance, place the Pump near the water level and use hoses that are no longer than

necessary. As the head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. A non-collapsible suction hose

must be used. The length, type, and size of the suction and discharge hoses can signicantly affect Pump

output. Discharge head capability is always greater than suction head capability. This means pumping

height for the Intake Hose (suction head) should be shorter than the pumping height for the Discharge Hose.

Minimizing suction head (placing the Pump closer to the water level) will also help make it easier to prime

the pump (ll it with water).

LOCATING THE WATER PUMP

OPERATION

2. Route the Intake Hose with the Intake Strainer fully immersed in the water supply source.

3. Place Strainer into water to be pumped. NOTICE: Immerse strainer fully in water. Do not operate Pump

without Strainer connected to end of suction hose. Keep Strainer out of sand or silt by placing Strainer in a

bucket or on stones.

NOTICE: Air leaks must not appear in the suction line. If there is an air leak in the suction line, you will not

be able to prime the pump. Use a thread sealant to seal air leaks.

4. Secure the Intake Hose in place to keep it from moving once the Pump is turned on. The Intake Hose

should be as short as possible for more efcient operation.

5. Route the discharge hose to the desired discharge location. If necessary, connect additional discharge

hoses to direct the discharge to the desired location. Make sure to secure the discharge hose in place

to keep it from moving once the Water Pump is turned on. The discharge hose should be kept as short as

possible for more efcient operation.

REFUELING

Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool.

Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not ll the fuel tank completely. Fill tank to approximately 1 inch

below the top of the fuel tank to allow for fuel expansion. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level

depending on operating conditions. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

Fuel Recommendations: Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. These engines

are certied to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug

deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline

mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL STARTING: Turn the

Power Switch of the equipment to its “OFF” position, wait for the engine to cool, and

disconnect the spark plug cap before performing any inspection, maintenance, or

cleaning procedures.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EQUIPMENT FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If

abnormal noise, vibration, or excess smoking occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Follow all service instructions in this manual. The engine may fail critically if not serviced properly.

Many maintenance procedures, including any not detailed in this manual, will need to be

performed by a qualied technician for safety. If you have any doubts about your ability to safely

service the equipment or engine, have a qualied technician service the equipment instead.

NOTE: This maintenance schedule is intended solely as a general guide. If performance decreases or if

equipment operates unusually, check systems immediately. The maintenance needs of each piece of

equipment will differ depending on factors such as duty cycle, temperature, air quality, fuel quality, and other

factors.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

NOTE: Do not use gasoline that has been stored in a metal fuel container or a dirty fuel container. It can

cause particles to enter the carburetor, affecting engine performance and/or causing damage.

NOTE: Add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level is at the full level. SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended

for general use. The SAE Viscosity Grade chart shows other viscosities to use in different average

temperatures.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL CHANGE

1. Make sure the engine is stopped and is level. Close the fuel valve.

2. Place a drain pan underneath the crankcase drain plug.

CAUTION: Oil is hot during operation and can cause burns. Wait for engine to cool before changing oil.

3. Remove the drain plug and, if possible, tilt the crankcase slightly to help drain the oil out. Recycle used

oil.

4. Replace the drain plug and tighten it.

5. Clean the top of the dipstick and the area around it. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, dry

cloth.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

1. Remove the air lter cover and the air lter elements and check for dirt.

2. Wash the element in warm water and mild detergent several times. Rinse. Squeeze out excess water and

allow it to dry completely. Soak the lter in lightweight oil briey, then squeeze out the excess oil.

3. Install the cleaned lter. Secure the Air Cleaner Cover before use.

SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE

1. Disconnect spark plug cap from end of plug. Clean out debris from around spark plug.

2. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.

3. Inspect the spark plug: If the electrode is oily, clean it using a clean, dry rag. If the electrode has

deposits on it, polish it using emery paper. If the white insulator is cracked or chipped, the spark plug

needs to be replaced.

NOTE: Using an incorrect spark plug may damage the engine.

4. When installing a new spark plug, adjust the plug’s gap to the specication on the Specications chart.

Do not pry against the electrode, the spark plug can be damaged.

5. Install the new spark plug or the cleaned spark plug into the engine. Gasket-style: Finger-tighten until

the gasket contacts the cylinder head, then tighten about 1/2-2/3 turn more. Non-gasket-style: Finger-

tighten until the plug contacts the head, then tighten about 1/16 turn more.

NOTE: Tighten the spark plug properly. If loose, the spark plug will cause the engine to overheat.

If overtightened, the threads in the engine block will be damaged.

6. Apply dielectric spark plug boot protector (not included) to the end of the spark plug and reattach the

wire securely.

AFTER EACH USE

1. Remove drain plug from front of Pump

2. Tilt Pump forward to drain all remaining water from inside.

LONG TERM STORAGE

1. CLEANING: Wait for engine to cool, then clean engine with dry cloth. NOTICE: Do not clean using water.

The water will gradually enter the engine and cause rust damage. Apply a thin coat of rust preventive oil to

all metal parts.

2. FUEL: To protect the fuel tank during storage, ll the tank with gasoline that has been treated with

a fuel stabilizer additive. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s recommendations for use.

When the equipment is to remain idle for longer than 20 days, prepare the engine for storage as follows:

3. LUBRICATION: A. Change engine oil. B. Clean out area around spark plug. Remove spark plug and

pour one tablespoon of engine oil into cylinder through spark plug hole. C. Replace spark plug, but leave

spark plug cap disconnected. D. Pull Starter Handle to distribute oil in cylinder. Stop after one or two

revolutions when you feel the piston start the compression stroke (when you start to feel resistance).

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE: Fill tank in a well-ventilated area away from

ignition sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait for it to cool before adding fuel.

Do not smoke.

4. BATTERY: Disconnect battery cables (if equipped). Recharge batteries monthly while in storage.

5. STORAGE AREA: Cover and store in a dry, level, well-ventilated area out of reach of children. Storage

area should also be away from ignition sources, such as water heaters, clothes dryers, and furnaces.

NOTICE: For every 3 months of an extended storage period, the pump must be connected to a water

supply, primed, started, and allowed to run for 15 – 20 minutes or the Warranty is VOID.

6. AFTER STORAGE: Before starting the engine after storage, keep in mind that untreated gasoline will

deteriorate quickly. Drain the fuel tank and change to fresh fuel if untreated gasoline has been sitting for a

month, if treated gasoline has been sitting beyond the fuel stabilizer’s recommended time period, or if the
