CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
This product and related accessories contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT: For best possible performance and continuous, satis-
factory operation, read these instructions before in stalling your new
pump. Should service be required, this manual can be a valuable
guide, it should be kept near the installation for ready reference.

INSTAllATION lOCATION

Place unit as close to water source as possible to mini mize suction
lift, obtain the best pumping performance, and aid in priming. A
typical portable installation is shown in Figure 1.
For permanent installation, mount unit on a foundation that will
support the weight of pump and engine and also provide stability
while the pump is running. For most per manent installations, it is
advisable to bolt unit directly to foundation.
NOTICE: Settling and/or shifting during operation can cause piping
to place excessive strain on the pump and may damage pump case.
Set pump on hard level surface.
SuCTION CONNeCTION
Connect either rigid pipe or flexible suction hose to pump suction
as shown in Figure 1. If hose is selected, hose must be rated to
hold the suction pressure and prevent collapse while the pump is
running.
Make the suction line a continuous rise from the water source to the
pump. High spots can trap air and also make priming difficult. Make
sure all connections are tight and free of air leaks.
NOTICE: Suction pipe or hose must be at least as large as the pump
suction inlet in order for the pump to operate properly.
Minimum depth for the suction inlet is determined by the diameter of
the suction line. See Figure 1.
NOTICE: Use a suction screen to keep debris out of pump.
Hazardous Suction.
Can trap persons
against suction inlet.
Always use strainer
on suction hose to
prevent entrapment.

DISCHARGe CONNeCTIONS
Your pump is equipped with a single port discharge. Select the
appropriate size for the application. Install a "tee" as shown to allow
priming the pump without disconnecting the piping.
OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not start or run pump dry or damage to the mechani cal
seal will result.
NOTICE: Add engine oil before startup. Refer to the engine
operation manual before startup.
PRImING THe PumP
A self priming pump only needs to be manually primed at the first
start-up. Once primed, under normal conditions the pump will
re-prime automatically at each subsequent start-up. If the pump is
used in portable applications and the water has been drained from
the pump case, re-prime before start-up.
To prime, remove plug from top discharge outlet and fill pump with
water. Replace plug and start pump. The pump will require a few
minutes to evacuate air from the suction line. After several minutes of
operation, pump will be fully primed and pumping water. Priming time
will vary depending on length and diameter of suction line.
RuNNING THe eNGINe
Refer to engine operation section of this manual for starting and
operating instructions.
Pump performance varies depending on engine RPM. Refer to
engine operation section to adjust engine speed.
