PUMP OPERATION
Pump only water that is not intended for human consumption. Pumping
flammable liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a fire or explosion, causing serious injury. Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion can damage the pump. When pumping a liquid at a temperature of more than 60°C a piped connection shall be used for user to safely collect any drained liquid or leakage from the shaft seal or discharge from a pressure relief valve.

REFUEL WITH CARE
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped and the pump on a level surface. Do not fill the fuel tank above the fuel strainer shoulder. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away. Always store gasoline in an approved container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the engine. After refueling, make sure the tank cap closed properly and securely.

Hot Exhaust
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 transporting the pump or storing it indoors.
To prevent fire hazards, keep the pump at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

1. Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
2. These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient.

RENEWING ENGINE OIL
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.

1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, and then remove the pad and dipstick and the drain plug.

2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, and then reinstall the drain plug and pad, and tighten it securely.
   Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash; pour it on the ground; or down a drain.

3. With the engine in a level position, fill to upper limit with the recommended oil.

4. Assembling oil dipstick and screwing down
   Recommended oil:
   Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
   We recommend that you use API SERVICE Category SE or SF oil or equivalent to SG grade SAE 10W-30.
   You can use this brand oil if your area temperature list within some brand oil temperature range

MAINTAINING AIR CLEANER
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance.
If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHE-DULE

NOTICE: Operating the engine without element or with a damaged element will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

AIR CLEANER

1. Screw off air cleaner bolt and remove the cover.
2. Remove foam element
3. Check element and renew if damaged.
   • Wash foam element:
   • Wash the cover and filter in warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow drying thoroughly.
   • Or clean in nonflammable solvent and allow drying. Dip in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all excess oil.
   • Empty the used oil from the air cleaner case, wash out any accumulated dirt with nonflammable solvent, and dry the case.
4. Clean the air cleaner l, cover and rubber gasket, preventing dust entering into carburetor.
5. Reassemble the foam element, paying attention to rubber gasket underneath the element.
6. Reassemble the air cleaner, and tighten the wing nut securely.

WASHING SEDIMENT CUP
(First check fuel tank for fuel, if having, drain the fuel in the fuel tank completely.)

1. Remove the fuel sediment cup and O-ring.
2. Wash the sediment cup and O-ring in nonflammable solvent, and dry them thoroughly.
3. Place the O-ring in the fuel valve, and install the sediment cup. Tighten the sediment cup securely.
4. Move the fuel valve to the ON position, and check for leaks. Replace the O-ring if there is any leakage

SPARK PLUG
Recommended spark plugs: E6RTC or other equivalents. NOTICE: An incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage

1. Disconnect the spark plug cap, and remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.

2. Remove the spark plug with a spark plug wrench.

3. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn, or if the insulator is cracked or chipped. The gap should be 0.028 -0.031 in (0.70 – 0.80 mm). Correct the gap, if necessary,

4. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.

5. After the spark plug seats, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the water.
   If reinstalling the used spark plug tighten 1/8 – 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats.
   If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats.

6. Assemble spark plug.

ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED

1. Start the engine outdoors, and allow it to warm up to operating temperature.
2. Move the throttle lever to its slowest position.
3. Turn the idle speed screw to obtain the standard idle speed.
   Standard idle speed: 1800±100 rpm

STORAGE/ TRANSPORTING

STORING YOUR ENGINE
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces, repair any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.

CAUTION! Water with big pressure can enter into air cleaner and muffler and even into cylinder along with air path, resulting in causing rust and water spatter on the hot engine to damage engine, so don’t wash engine until the engine is cooled.

1. Place a container underneath the carburetor, and use funnel for oil not spattering, close fuel cock.

2. Remove the drain plug and sediment cup, then, open the fuel cock.

3. Immediately reassemble sediment cup and drain bolt after fuel completely draining. And screw down.

4. Change the engine oil.

5. Remove the spark plugs.

6. Pour a tablespoon (5-10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

7. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.

8. Reinstall the spark plugs.

9. Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.

10. Put the out case on the engine and place in the ventilated and dry area.

CAUTION! The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. As a result, If the engine is not used for more than one month, the fuel oil shall be drained thoroughly to prevent from deterioration of the fuel in fuel system and carburetor. The failures of fuel system or engine performance arising from improper storage are beyond the scope of the warranty.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your engine as described in the chapter CHECK BEFORE OPERATION.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting. If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

TRANSPORTING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the engine-powered equipment on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials. Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.

OPERATION

SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
To safely realize the full potential of this pump, you need a complete understanding of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its controls.
Before operating the pump for the first time, please review the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION on page 9 and the chapter titled CHECK BEFORE OPERATION.
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.
Pump only fresh water that is not intended for human consumption. Pumping flammable liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a fire or explosion, causing serious injury. Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion can damage the pump.

PUMP PLACEMENT
For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use hoses that are no longer than necessary. That will enable the pump to produce the greatest output with the least self-priming time. As head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. The length, type, and size of the suction and discharge hoses can also significantly affect pump output. Discharge head capability is always greater than suction head capability, so it is important for suction head to be the shorter part of total head. Minimizing suction head (placing the pump near the water level) is also very important for reducing self-priming time. Self-priming time is the time it takes the pump to bring water the distance of the suction head during initial operation.

SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION

• Use a commercially available hose and hose connector with the hose clamp provided with the pump. The suction hose must be reinforced with a non-collapsible wall or braided wire construction.
• Do not use a hose smaller than the pump’s suction port size. Minimum hose size: 1.5 in (40 mm)
• The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump performance is best when the pump is near the water level, and the hoses are short.
• Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the hose connector to the suction hose in order to prevent air leakage and loss of suction. Verify that the hose connector sealing washer is in good condition.
• Install the strainer (provided with the pump) on the other end of the suction hose, and secure it with a hose clamp. The strainer will help to prevent the pump from becoming clogged or damaged by debris.
• Securely tighten the hose connector on the pump suction port.

DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION
Use a commercially available hose and hose connector, and clamp provided with the pump.
It is best to use a short, large-diameter hose, because that will reduce fluid friction and improve pump output. A long or small-diameter hose will increase fluid friction and reduce pump output.
Tighten the hose clamp securely to prevent the discharge hose from disconnecting under pressure.

PRIMING THE PUMP
Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump chamber, and completely fill the pump chamber with water. Reinstall the filler cap, and tighten it securely.
NOTICE! Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. If the pump has been operated dry, stop the engine immediately, and allow the pump to cool before priming
