GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Before operating, ensure you have read and understood the manual and operational procedures to help reduce the risk of damage to your product as well as potential personal injury. Before operating, perform the pre-operation inspection to make the use of your water pump safe. Under no circumstances should you use your pump for flammable or corrosive liquids (such as petrol or acid). To prolong the life of your water pump, do not use for corrosive liquids such as salt water, chemical solutions or alkaline liquids. Locate the water pump on a firm and level ground, a slopped or overturned water pump may result in the spilling of oil and fuel. Always operate your pump outdoors in a well ventilated area away from any potentially flammable or hazardous material. NEVER run your water pump indoors or in a shed, exhaust emissions from the engine contain toxic carbon monoxide (CO) which can lead to death if inhaled. Keep children and pets away from the pump when in use. Always fill the petrol tank with the water pump turned off and in a well ventilated area. After filling, ensure the fuel cap is tightened correctly and you wipe any excess/spilled fuel from the top of the fuel tank.
CONNECTING WATER INLET HOSE
Always use a quality inlet hose with reinforced construction to prevent hose
collapse, the hose must be a continuous hose with no joins or kinks and should
be fully unrolled. NOTE : Suction and priming times will vary depending on
the length of the inlet hose and the height of the pump from the water source
Prior to priming the pump, ALWAYS ensure the pre-filter is connected to the
end of the water inlet hose. The filter will catch large particles that may
jam and damage the pump impellers. Be sure to install hose clamps tightly to
prevent air leaks which will reduce the pumps performance.
CONNECTING WATER OUTLET HOSE
Always use a quality outlet hose designed to be used with the same outlet size
of the pump. Runnings and smaller diameter hose that the outlet of the pump
will increase flow resistance and decrease the power output and flow rate of
your pump.
Note : Securely tighten the hose clamps to ensure the hose does not blow
off when under pressure
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Using quality engine oil is key to the ongoing performance of your engine,
always use the specified oil for your Engine. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use. Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the recommended range. Engine oil capacity:
600ml
NOTE : The engine has a low oil sensor which prevents the engine from running with not enough oil in the crankcase. The oil alert system will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil level before start-up.
FUEL LEVEL CHECK
The engine is certified to operate on unleaded fuel with a research octane
rating of 91 or higher (a pump octane rating of 86 or higher). You may use
unleased fuel containing no more than 10% ethanol (E10). Always check the fuel
level prior to starting the engine. With the engine stopped and on a level
surface, remove the fuel cap and check the fuel level and refill if too low.
Fill to the maximum level of the fuel tank. DO NOT overfill.
OPERATION
CONNECTING THE HOSES
NOTE : Always use a commercially suitable 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:
- TM530-050 50mm (2”)
- TM530-250 50mm (2”)
- TM530-080 80mm (3”)
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 prior to connection. 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.
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.
NOTE : 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.
STARTING THE WATER PUMP
CAUTION : Improperly maintaining this pump or failing to correct a problem before operation could cause a malfunction in which you could be injured or your pump could be seriously damaged. Always perform an inspection prior to each use an correct any potential issue.
- Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
- To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Pull the recoil starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull it briskly. Do not allow the recoil starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
- If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
STOPPING THE WATER PUMP
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Debris and dirt deposits can build up on the inside of the water pump housing, such deposits may remain inside after use and reduce the performance of the pump and cause damage to the impeller. After each use, remove the drain plug from the bottom of the pump chamber and allow water to drain. Remove the filler cap, and flush the pump chamber with clean, fresh water while the drain plug is removed. Allow the water to completely drain from the pump chamber, then reinstall the filler cap and drain plug prior to storage.
IMPORTANT : IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU COMPLETELY DRAIN THE FUEL TANK AND CARBURETOR PRIOR TO STORING YOUR WATER PUMP FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
Fuel will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old fuel will leave gum deposits that clog the fuel system and makes future starting very difficult. If the fuel in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced. The length of time that fuel can be left in the tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as fuel 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. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months or even less if the fuel was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank. The Manufacturers Warranty DOES NOT cover fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation. You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburettor after each use prior to storage.
MAINTENANCE
To keep the water pump at optimal performance, checking over it periodically
and regular maintenance and service will extend it service life.
NOTE : Before performing any maintenance to the water pump, ensure the
engine is stopped and turned off.

Use of the water pump in extremely dusty conditions means it should be
serviced more
frequently. All servicing of the engine and pump should be done by an
authorised dealer who has the correct tools and is qualified mechanically. For
any engine maintenance, please refer to the Honda Engine owners manual for all
relevant service and maintenance information.
