PREPARING THE WATER PUMP FOR USE
STEP 1
When new from the package, this Water Pump contains no oil or gas in the engine crankcase.
Add the correct quantity of oil / gas before operating this Water Pump for the first time. This Water Pump
requires 2-cycle engine oil plus a mixture of gasoline to function.
1.
Prepare Unleaded Gasoline plus 2-cycle oil for outdoor power equipment using 50:1 ratio.
2.
Mix together :
STEP 2
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious
injury or burns.
Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot
lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire
hazard and causes environmental damage.
To ensure that this Water Pump runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN
OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits
and extends the life of the exhaust system.
1.
Confirm that this Water Pump is on a level surface.
2.
Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: Cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)
3.
Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the
upper limit line. The fuel tank capacity for this Water Pump is listed below. NOTE: Because gasoline
can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.
4.
Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
STARTING THE WATER PUMP
1.
Only use outdoors.
2.
Confirm that 2-Cycle Oil/Gas has been properly added.
3.
Prime the water pump (see page 8)
4.
Move the choke lever to the "closed" position.
5.
Set the engine switch to the "on" position. (Figure 2)
6.
Press the Primer Button (Figure 3) six times.
7.
Slowly pull on the recoil starter handle until a slight resistance is felt. Then pull briskly to start the
engine.
8.
Gently return the cord into the Water Pump to avoid damage to the starter or housing. Never allow
the cord to snap back.
9.
If the engine fails to start, repeat step 6. NOTE: After repeated attempts to start the engine, consult
the troubleshooting guide before attempting again. If problems persist, call 1-866-460-9436,
Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time.
10.
Once the engine has started and runs for about a minute,
move the choke lever approximately half way towards the
"open" position. Wait an additional 30 seconds and then move
the choke lever completely over to the "open" position.
11.
Allow this Water Pump to run for several minutes before
beginning the project. After pump is running smoothly, adjust the
throttle of the pump. Choose the appropriate speed to maintain
good fuel consumption. (See Figure 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3)
