GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards. Read
these rules and instructions carefully. Failure to follow them COULD
cause serious injury and/or property damage.
NEVER run engine in an
enclosed area. Exhaust gases
contain deadly poisonous carbon monoxide, which
has no odor or taste.
Do NOT use to pump
flammable or explosive fluids
such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do NOT use
in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres. Pump
SHOULD only be used with liquids compatible with
pump component materials. Failure to follow this
warning CAN result in personal injury and/or property damage.
2. Observe all safety precautions for the handling of the fuel.
Do NOT refuel a hot engine.
Fuel spilled on a hot engine
COULD result in a fire or explosion. Do NOT refuel a
running engine.
3. Pump SHOULD be located and SHOULD rest on a
level solid foundation. Do NOT suspend pump by means of the
discharge pipe.
Be sure pump is on secure footing so it
doesn't fall over.
4. Do NOT use torches or apply excessive heat, fire or flames to this
pump as an explosion may result.
5. Before working on the unit, insulate the wire from the spark plug,
disconnect the spark plug wire and mount it on the grounding clip.
Complete pump and piping system
MUST be protected against below freezing
temperatures. Failure to do so COULD cause serious damage and
will void the warranty.

6. Do NOT run pump dry. Water is required to lubriucate the shaft
seal.
7. Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids may shorten the life of the
pump and be hazardous to the operator.
8. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted; replace all
unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof with padlocks, master switches, and
by removing starter keys.
9. ALWAYS use a suction strainer with this pump to filter large material.
APPLICATION
This pump is designed to be self-priming when installed and
operated as specified below.
1. The pump SHOULD be placed as close as possible to the liquid
being pumped. A pump with 20 foot suction lift will NOT remove
water as quickly as a pump with 5 foot suction lift (Figure 1).
2. Suction hose and fitting must be airtight.
Figure 1
An air leak in the suction line MAY prevent
priming of the pump. Use of thread sealant is
recommended.
Suction lines must be reinforced hose or rigid pipe. Non-reinforced hose
will collapse due to the suction created by the pump and prevent pump
from operating.
3. A check valve MUST be used in the suction line to maintain the
self-priming capability. If no check valve is used the pump will need
to be primed at the start of each operation. For best operation, the
check valve should be installed at the intake of the section line.
