ALWAYS ensure a high level of ventilation in the area that you intend to use the water pump to avoid the potential build up of carbon monoxide.

Warning!

FIRE AND BURN HAZARDS

• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
  – Koop the water pump at least 3 foot (1 motor) away from buildings and other equipment during operation.
  Do not enclose the walker pump in any structure.
  – Keep flammable materials away from the water pump.

• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the water pump indoors.

• Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the water pump is refuelled or whorl petrol is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine slopped.

• Fuel vapours are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the water pump.

3.2 PUMP OPERATION

– Regularly check external nuts and fixings to ensure vibration caused by normal use has not begun to loosen them.

Warning!

DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE IN ANY HAZARDOUS LOCATION

Such areas include when thoron is a risk of an explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.

Caution:

ENGINE SPEED HAS BEEN FACTORY SET TO PROVIDE SAFE OPERATION

Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in overheating of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed up” the engine to gain more performance as this will result in the output being thrown out of their standard design parameters, potentially endangering the user and causing irreversible damage to the water pump.

6. PREPARING THE WATER PUMP

6.1 HOSE CONNECTION – FIGS. 1 – 2

– To stop the hose collapsing on the suction side of the pump; a solid wall (reinforced) hose must be used. Please see optional accessories section for recommended suction hose.
– Unscrew hose barb coupling (16) from the pump body.
– Slide the hose barb coupling over the hose barb (15) and attach the coupling to the pump.

– Slide hose clamp (22) over the solid wall hose before pushing the hose onto hose barb (15) making certain it has gone over all the way.
– Use the hose clamp to grip the hose securely onto the connector. Make certain the clamp is central on the connector.

Note: Clamp the strain filter (23) to the other end of the suction hose. This helps avoid larger pieces of debris being sucked through the pump and causing damage.

7. SETTING THE WATER PUMP

7.1 PREPARING THE PUMP -FIG.4

It is important to check the pump before you commence operating the unit.

Important: Ensure that the engine has oil. When leaving the factory, this water pump has NO OIL in the engine.

Note: The water pump has a low oil sensor and will not start if it has no oil.

7.2 FUELLING – FIGS. 5 – 6

Use unleaded petrol only.

1. Remove the petrol cap (5)·
2. Ensure the fuel filter is in place – Do not pour fuel into the tank without the fuel filter (5.1) in place.
3. Do not over fill – leave air gap at top of fuel level.
4. Always screw down fuel cap.
5. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
6. Move water pump at least 12 feet (4m) away from the fuelling area before starting.

Warning!

– Do not refill fuel tank while engine is running or is hot.
– Check to ensure that the petrol cap has been tightened and that fuel is not leaking.
– Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into the fuel.
– Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
– Ensure you DO NOT fuel the pump in close proximity to any open flames.

7.3 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL – FIGS. 7-8

The motor of this pump is not filled with oil.

Prior to starting the motor ensure the crank case is filled with SAE 10W-30 4 stroke oil.

Damage to the motor is not covered under warranty if the motor is run without oil.

1. Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the pump is put on a stable and level surface, ensuring the engine has been switched OFF.

2. Remove the oil filter cap (17) by rotating the cap anticlockwise and inspect to see the oil level.

3. If the oil level is below the lower level line, refill with SAE 10W-30 4 stroke oil to the upper level line. Approximately 0.45Itrs.
   Note: Do not screw in the oil filler cap (17) when checking oil level, simply insert and pull the cap straight out.

4. If the oil is contaminated or has discoloured, ensure you change the oil. Refer to the ‘Engine oil replacement’ section for instructions.

Note: This motor is fitted with a low oil sensor. If the oil level is too low the motor will stop operating or the motor will not start. It is advised to check the oil level each time the pump is used.

8. BASIC WATER PUMP OPERATION

8.1 PUMP PRIMING

This pump is self priming, fill the pump outlet (13) with water then connect the hoses to the pump as described in section 8. When the pump is started it will prime itself and then start pumping water.

Note: The pump will take time to prime itself. This time is dependant on suction hose length and could take as much as 10 minutes if the pump is further from the water source to be pumped.

The pump should always be sited as close to the water that needs to be pumped as possible.

Ensure that all hose connections are tight. The self priming function will not work if air can be sucked through poor hose connections.

Ensure the water pump is turned off before attempting to open the pump.

8.2 STARTING THE MACHINE – FIGS. 9 -12

After all the instructions and warnings have been followed and observed the engine is ready to start.

– Slide the fuel lever (21) to the right; turning on the fuel supply.
– Slide the throttle lever (10) to the lower position; opening the throttle a little.
– Slide the choke lever (7) lo the left; closing the choke to help with the initial start up.

– Turn on the engine switch (20)

– Sharply pull the recoil start handle (9); do not let go of the handle. Let the recoil handle return slowly. Do not pull the rope out fully while trying to start the engine.

When the engine is running and has warmed up;
– Reopen the choke so that the engine runs smoothly.
– Increase the throttle speed to begin pumping.
Note: Whenever the pump is not in use, lower the idle or switch off the engine.

8.3 STOPPING THE MACHINE – FIG.12

Before stopping the engine, the throttle should be set to idle and the engine run for a couple of minutes.

– If the engine is only being stopped for a moment; slide the fuel lever to the left and turn the engine switch (20) off.
– If the engine is being stopped and later stored; slide the fuel lever to the left and wait for the engine to cut-out from fuel starvation before turning the engine switch (20) off.

Note: In the event of an emergency, kill the engine with switch (20).

9. MAINTENANCE
