WARNING! High Altitude Operation Above 3000 feet
At high altitudes, the engine’s carburetor, governor (if so equipped), and any other parts that control the fuel-
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.

INSTALLATION
5
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
1. Remove the plug. 2. Fill with water.
3. Install the plug.
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.
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
3. Install the plug.
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.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. When the engine has warmed sufciently, adjust the throttle handle in accordance to the desired speed.
DO NOT accelerate abruptly due to bad lubrication of the engine at the beginning of start up.
2. Avoid the speedy idle motion and over speed motion. If the throttle is totally opened, the engine will over
run. This not only shortens the life of the engine but can also cause further issues in the engine.
3. Draw the starter several times slowly, then draw quickly. After the engine starts, run it for 3-5 minutes
at a slow speed.
4. Press the stop switch and stop the engine.
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.

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.
