100743 – 3 IN. (7.5 CM) SEMI-TRASH PUMP
Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors: Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. Gasoline vapors can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
Gasoline is a liquid fuel and the resulting gasoline vapors can
ignite and cause a fire or explosion. Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs
to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes. Gasoline has a distinctive odor,
this will help detect potential
leaks quickly. In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. This is because if
a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an
explosion hazard could be created. Gasoline vapors expand and contract with
ambient temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank past the red FULL indicator
on the fuel filter, as gasoline vapors needs room to expand if temperatures
rise.
WARNING
When adding or removing gasoline: Do not light or smoke cigarettes. Always
stop the engine and allow to cool for a minimum of two minutes before
refueling. Always loosen gasoline cap slowly to release vapor pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the gasoline cap. Always replace and tighten
the gasoline cap securely after fueling. Never remove the gasoline cap or add
gasoline while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Only fill or
drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not pump gasoline
directly into the engine at the gas station. Always store gasoline in an
EPA/CARB compliant container or to transfer the gasoline to the engine. Do not
overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When starting the engine: Do not attempt to start a damaged engine. Always
check that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust
system are properly in place. Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully
before attempting to start the engine. Always be certain that the water pump
is resting firmly on level ground.
WARNING
When operating the water pump: DO NOT move or tip the water pump during
operation. DO NOT tip the water pump or allow fuel or oil to spill.
WARNING
When transporting or servicing the water pump: Always check that the fuel
valve is in the OFF position and the gasoline tank is empty. Disconnect the
spark plug wire.
WARNING
When storing the water pump: Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition. Do not store water pump or
gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce
heat or have automatic ignitions.
DANGER
Never place a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG cylinder or any
combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream during operation of the
engine.
WARNING
NEVER use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is
broken, cut, torn or damaged.

for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the oil
level in the crankcase falls below the threshold level.
NOTICE
The first 5 hours of run time is the break-in period for the engine. During
the break in period, it is recommended to use standard automotive, non-
synthetic blended oils. After the break-in period, synthetic oil can be used
but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/ decrease engine
speed helping to seat piston rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down
and avoid prolonged running at constant RPM. After the 5-hour break-in period,
change the oil.
Add Fuel
DANGER
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death. Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump
gasoline directly into the generator. Use an approved container to transfer
the fuel to the generator. Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or
any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged. DO NOT overfill the
gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume. y b c DO NOT mix oil with
gasoline. 1. Place the water pump on a flat, level surface. 2. Remove the
gasoline cap.
14
100743 – 3 IN. (7.5 CM) SEMI-TRASH PUMP
3. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline can expand
after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is
required for gasoline expansion, although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is
recommended. Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion
if overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of the water pump.
The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top of the fuel tank.
EMPTY
FULL
4. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an
ethanol content of less than 10% by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank. DO NOT mix oil and
gasoline. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the tank
to allow for gasoline expansion. DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the water
pump at the pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to the
water pump. DO NOT fill tank indoors. DO NOT fill tank when the engine is
running or hot. DO NOT overfill the tank.
WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of
gasoline at the operator while filling.
NOTICE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using
ethanol-gasoline blends there are some issues worth noting: Ethanol-gasoline
blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone. These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a
watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. With gravity-fed
supplies, the compromised gasoline can
be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or potential
hazards. There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are
formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends. Any damages or hazards
caused by using improper gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or
improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the engine to
starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is not in use for more than
30 days.

OPERATION
Water Pump Location
DANGER
Water pump engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting
or death. If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.
OPERATE THE WATER PUMP OUTDOORS ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA AND POINT
EXHAUST AWAY. DO NOT operate the water pump inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or compartment, including
the storage compartment of a recreational vehicle. DO NOT allow exhaust fumes
to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings.
DANGER
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. ONLY
use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
OPERATION
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on contact. Combustible
material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases. Allow
equipment to cool before touching. Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of
clearance on all sides to ensure adequate cooling. Maintain at least 5 ft.
(1.5 m) of clearance from combustible materials.
Place the water pump on a flat, level surface. The pump should be placed close
to the water level to ensure maximum pump performance.
Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and size of the suction and
discharge hoses. The pumping height, also known as the total head, is the
distance from the water level to the point of discharge. As this distance
increases, pump output decreases. The discharge capacity is greater than the
suction capacity.
Therefore, it is important that the suction head is less than the discharge
head. The time required to draw water from the source to the pump (self-
priming time) can be decreased by minimizing the suction head.

Priming the Pump
NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump dry. Running the pump dry can destroy the pump seals and
will void the warranty. If the pump was running while dry, stop the engine and
allow it to cool thoroughly before filling the chamber with water.
NOTICE
Ensure the priming plug is secure before pump operation, if not secure the
priming plug could be ejected and water or other liquids could be pumped
through the top of the outlet flange.
1. Remove the priming cap (top) and fill pump body to the very top of outlet
flange with water. Reinstall the priming plug. DO NOT over tighten.
OPERATION
7. Check that the oil is at the full mark on the dipstick, and that fuel has
been added to the fuel tank.
8. Review the water pump assembly and ensure fittings are properly secured
and make sure there are no kinks, cuts, or damage to hoses.
Starting the Engine
NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump without the unit primed and suction hose in the water.
Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will
void warranty.
1. Make certain the water pump is on a flat, level surface. 2. Move the fuel
valve to the ON position
3. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position by pulling out.
2. As the engine starts up, this will start the draw of liquid into the pump.
Located within the pump assembly is the oneway valve. As you prime the pump
housing this one-way flap valve shuts off the opening to the suction hose. The
priming process is only required when the pump housing is not full of water.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Route the suction hose so that the filter is immersed completely in the
water supply source.
2. DO NOT operate pump without the filter fully immersed.
3. DO NOT operate the pump without the filter attached to the hose.
4. Secure the suction hose to keep it from moving once the water pump is
started.
5. Route the discharge hose to the desired location. Secure the discharge
hose to keep it from moving once the water pump is started.
6. Place the water pump on a flat, level surface.
NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for 2 pulls of the recoil starter. After
second pull, move choke lever to the “RUN” position for up to the next 3 pulls
of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to
start.
21
100743 – 3 IN. (7.5 CM) SEMI-TRASH PUMP
NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the unit is on a flat,
level surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent
the engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
4. Move the throttle lever to the “FAST” position.
OPERATION
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the recoil cord will pull hand and arm towards the engine
faster than you can let go. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation or laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or
sprains could result.
7. As engine warms up, move the choke to “RUN” by pushing in and adjust the
throttle as needed
5. Press engine switch to “ON” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
NOTICE
Water pump performance can be adjusted using the throttle. To decrease pump
output, slide the throttle to the slow the engine speed, towards “SLOW”. To
increase it, slide the throttle towards “FAST”
WARNING
DO NOT remove either top cap or bottom plug while the water pump is on and
running. Loss of pressure and suction will occur. Injury may also occur.
Stopping the Engine
NOTICE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks or longer, please
see the Storage section for proper engine and fuel storage.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
22
100743 – 3 IN. (7.5 CM) SEMI-TRASH PUMP
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This
usually takes a few minutes.
3. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower than the
recommended minimum altitude can damage the engine. For operation at lower
elevations, the originally supplied standard main jet must be used. Operating
the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine is not in use.
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power
is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and water
pump output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation
above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting
the engine. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due
to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude issues
can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power loss, CPE can
provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and
installation instructions can be obtained by contacting our Technical Support
Team. Installation instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin
area of the CPE website.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the
high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary to
identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is stamped on the side
of the carburetor. Select the correct high altitude jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.
Carb. Code High Alt. Jet Part Number
16100Z2M0110
16161-Z152210 16161-Z152010
Altitude Range
3000-6000ft 914-1829 m 6000-8000ft 1829-2434 m
MAINTENANCE

26
100743 – 3 IN. (7.5 CM) SEMI-TRASH PUMP
NOTICE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using
ethanol-gasoline blends there are some issues worth noting:
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than gasoline alone.
These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a watery goo in the
tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
With gravity-fed supplies, the compromised gasoline can be drawn into the
carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
Any damages or hazards caused by using improper gasoline, improperly stored
gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by
manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the engine to
starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is not in use for more than
30 days.
Protect your water pump from freezing.
1. Apply all storage instructions from previous sections.
2. Make sure water pump is free of all water before storing for winter.
3. In order to prevent the pump from freezing you will need to insert RV
antifreeze.
4. You will need approximately 6 oz. (177.4 mL) of RV antifreeze, a funnel,
and approximately 12 in. (30.5 cm) of garden hose or equivalent.
5. Pour the antifreeze into the funnel connected to the pump inlet or priming
cap (top) with a small hose, then pull on the recoil starter. Pull the recoil
several times to circulate the antifreeze.

aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine
(SORE) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications. You are responsible for presenting your small off-
road engine (SORE) to an Authorized CPE service outlet or alternate service
outlet as described in (3)(f.) below, CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System
(ECS) Warranty Coverage.
1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year
small off-road engines (SORE). The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date
the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser,
and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE CPE warrants to the original, end-use
purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that
each of its small off-road engines (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions
standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
2b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a
warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as
described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a
period of two years.
3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
3a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty
Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be
repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such part
repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular
inspection as specified in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS
Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of
“repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period.
Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted
for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the
period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be
repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such
emissionsrelated part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be
warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
3d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this
ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized
Service Outlet.
3e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the
determination that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective,
provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized Service
Outlet.
3f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized
service outlets under the following circumstances:
i. The service is required in a population center with a population over
100,000 according to U.S. Census 2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet
AND
ii.The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service
Outlet. The 100 mile limitation does not apply in the following states:
Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.
3g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or
approved modifications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an
emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
3h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of
warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for
such emission-related parts.
3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be
used in the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be
provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE’s warranty
obligation.
3j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a
CPE engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds
for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for
failures of any warranted parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an
unapproved add-on or modified part.
