GB SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
1. This pump is designed for pumping water and general farm
liquid fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Flammable materials
such as gasoline should not be pumped with this pump.
Explosion might result, causing serious injury. Corrosive
materials should be handled with caution, taking into consider-
ation the handling instruction for the particular material.
2. Before starting the pump, study all of the instructions in this
booklet and the Engine Operating and Maintenance Instructions
supplied with the unit. Make sure you thoroughly understand
how to operate the machine. Proper preparation, operation and
maintenance will result in operator safety, optimum perfor-
mance and long unit life.
3. Be sure each person who operates the machine is properly
instructed in its safe operation.
4. Never operate the machine in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to
carry away exhaust fumes.
5. Always be sure that the machine is on secure footing so that it
cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers.
6. Keep the immediate area free of all bystanders.
7. When starting the machine, be sure that nothing is in a position
to be hit by the operator's hand or arm, or the starting rope.
8. Never operate this machine with any guard removed.
9. Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel in
safety containers. If container does not have a spout, use a
funnel. Do not refill engine while it is running or hot. Fill the tank
only on an area of bare ground. While filling the tank, keep heat,
sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel
before starting engine.
10.Avoid contacting the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder.
Keep clear of all rotating parts.
11.Always keep the machine and all associated equipment clean,
properly serviced and maintained.
12.Before working on any part of the machine, shut off the engine
and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental
starting.
13.Never run pump in an enclosed area.
14.Use only product manufacturer's genuine replacement parts.
Failure to do so may cause poor fit and possible injury.

PREPARING THE PUMP FOR OPERATION
UNCRATING THE PUMP
When uncrating the pump, loosen any shipping blocks, clamps and
packing material from the unit. Look the unit over carefully for shipping
damage. If you find any damage, report it immediately to your dealer or
the shipper.
Read these instructions and the 4-cycle engine instructions carefully until
you are sure you can prepare the engine and pump properly for use, and
can operate it safely and correctly.
WARRANTY
The pump is warranted for the period and under the conditions stated on
the warranty card packaged with the pump. Fill out the card and mail it.
ENGINE PREPARATION
The engine is lubricated by engine oil in the crankcase. The engine is
governed to operate at speeds close to 3600 rpm and the governor
setting must not be changed by the operator or owner.
The fuel for this 4-cycle engine is regular grade gasoline 87 Octane
(average) minimum. No oil should be mixed with the gasoline.
However, engine lubricating oil in the crankcase should be checked
before use. Follow instructions in the Briggs & Stratton instruction
manual in all matters of 4-cycle engine preparation, engine oil
selection, operation, maintenance and trouble-shooting.
Do not leave gasoline in the engine tank for long periods of time because
gasoline breaks down as it ages. The peroxides and gums in old stale
gasoline can attack the interior surfaces of the fuel system and engine,
clog the carburetor, and prevent starting. The "freshness" of fresh
gasoline can be prolonged for several months by treating the newly
purchased gasoline with an anti-oxidant type of fuel stabilizer (such as
STA-BIL®, available from Gold Eagle Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois
60632) according to instructions on the stabilizer can.
PUMP PREPARATION
Do not run the pump dry. There must be liquid in the pump to
lubricate the pump shaft seal.
Always fill the pump body with water (or the liquid to be pumped) before
starting the pump. It is not necessary to drain the pump body after use,
unless there is a danger of freezing.
The pump shaft seal is lubricated by the liquid being pumped. The seal is
designed to handle clean or dirty liquids. No other points on the pump
require lubrication.
ELBOW AND NIPPLE INSTALLATION: (AP220-1B, AP315-1, AP315-
1A, AP320-1, AP320-1A, AP320-1B & AP520)
Wrap the male threads with Teflon sealing tape. This tape gives a more
superior seal than pipe joint compound without making the connections so
tight as to damage the threads. Assemble nipple into the pump body. The
proper tightness is hand tight plus one full turn with a pipe wrench (no
tighter).
