BEFORE OPERATION

Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will
significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and
how to operate them.
Familiarize yourself with the pump and its operation before you begin
using it. Know how to quickly shut off the engine in case of an
emergency.
Be familiar with any safety precautions that are needed to properly
pump the chemicals that are listed on page 5.
IS YOUR PUMP READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it
is very important to take a few moments before you operate the pump
to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or
have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the pump.
B
WARNING
Improperly maintaining this pump, or failing to correct a
problem before operation, could cause a malfunction in which
you could be seriously injured.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each
operation, and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the pump is on a
level surface and the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
Check the General Condition of the Pump
• Look around and underneath the pump for signs of oil or petrol
leaks.
• Remove any dirt or debris, especially around the engine, muffler,
and recoil starter.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hose connectors, and clamps are
tightened.
• Keep all shields and covers in place while operating the pump.
• Check the general condition of the hoses. Be sure the hoses are in
serviceable condition before connecting them to the pump.
Check The Following Items Before You Start The Engine
• Check the oil level (page 8).
• Check the air cleaner (page 9).
• Check the fuel level (page 11). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

OPERATION

PUMP PREPARATION
Before operating the pump for the first time, please review
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (page 2) and BEFORE
OPERATION (page 4).
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed
area, such as a garage. Your engine's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas, which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area
and cause illness or death.
Suction Hose Connection
The suction hose [1] must be reinforced with a non-collapsible wall or
wire braided construction to prevent suction hose collapse. Keep the
pump as close to the liquid to be pumped as possible. Avoid bends
and sharp turns. Pump performance is best when the pump is not far
above the liquid level and the hose is kept straight. Self-priming time
is also proportional to the suction hose length. Using a longer suction
hose will increase the self priming time.
The strainer [2] provided with the pump should be attached to the end
of the suction hose with a hose clamp as shown.
Always install the strainer on the end of the suction hose before
pumping. The strainer will prevent debris from entering the pump that
can cause clogging and impeller or other pump damage.

Discharge Hose Connection
A short, large diameter hose will provide lower fluid friction and
improve pump efficiency. A long or small diameter hose increases
fluid friction and reduces pump output.
Tighten the hose clamp to prevent the hose from disconnecting under
high pressure.
