LOCATinG THE WATER PUMP
Make sure the Water Pump is located
1.
on a flat, level, sturdy surface capable of
supporting the weight of the Pump and
any additional tools and equipment.
For best Pump performance, place the
2.
Pump near the water level and use
hoses that are no longer than necessary.
That will allow the Pump to produce the
greatest output with the least self-priming
time. See diagram below.
As the 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.
Which means pumping height for the
Intake Hose (suction head) should be
shorter than the pumping height for the
Discharge Hose.
Minimizing suction head (placing the
Pump closer to the water level) will also
help reduce self-priming time. This is the
time it takes the Pump to bring the water
from the water level to the Pump during
the initial operation.
Route the Intake Hose with the Intake
3.
Filter fully immersed in the water supply
source.
Place Filter into water to be pumped.
4.
WARninG! Filter must be fully
immersed in water.
Do not operate
Pump without Filter connected to end
of suction hose. Keep Filter out of sand
or silt by placing Filter in bucket or on
stones. See diagram below.
Secure the Intake Hose in place to keep
5.
it from moving once the Pump is turned
on. The Intake Hose should be as short
as possible for more efficient operation.
Route the discharge hose to the desired
6.
discharge location. If necessary, connect
additional discharge hoses to direct the
discharge to the desired location. Then
make sure to secure the discharge hose
in place to keep it from moving once the
Water Pump is turned on. The discharge
hose should be kept as short as possible
for more efficient operation.
CAUTiOn!
7.
Be aware of the following
problems during operation, and how to
fix them:
1. Cavitation:
This is the sudden
formation and collapse of low-pressure
vapor (bubbles) across the vanes of the
impeller.
Cause:
When the surface pressure
on a liquid becomes low enough, the
Total Head
Suction
Head
Water Pump
discharge Head
Filter
Page 9
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
SKU 66585
liquid will begin to boil (even at room
temperature). With centrifugal pumps,
cavitation can occur when the suction
vacuum becomes too great, allowing
water vapor or bubbles to form at the
impeller. The rapid pressure increase
can cause impeller damage.
Solution:
Minimizing suction head and
using the largest practical suction hose
diameter will reduce the likelihood of
cavitation.
do not use a suction hose
with a diameter smaller than the
Pump’s intake Port (2” diameter).
2. Water Hammer Pressure:
This is
energy sent back to the Pump due to
sudden stoppage of water flowing from
the Pump.
Cause:
Water hammer pressure is more
likely to occur when using a very long
discharge hose. If the flow of water at
the end of the discharge hose is shut
off suddenly, energy is sent back to the
pump. This causes a large pressure
spike in the Pump housing, leading to
potential damage to the Pump casing.
Solution:
Use as short a discharge hose
as possible or shut off water flow slowly.
EnGinE PRE-START inSTRUCTiOnS
Disconnect the Spark Plug Cap (54) from
1.
the Engine.
iMPORTAnT! your Warranty is voided
2.
if you do not properly mix the fuel and
oil before fueling engine. never run
the Engine with improper Engine oil
to fuel mixture. Running the Engine
with low or no oil will permanently
damage the Engine.
To fill the Fuel Tank (89), unscrew and
3.
remove the Fuel Tank Cap (94). Fill the
Fuel Tank with a 25:1 ratio of
mid-to-
high (minimum 87 octane) unleaded
fuel and 2 stroke engine oil (10 oz of
oil)
. Then replace the Fuel Tank Cap.
Thereafter, check the Fuel Tank Gauge
for the amount of unleaded fuel-oil
mixture. When necessary, refill the Fuel
Tank.
Before every use, the pump housing
4.
must be filled with water. Unscrew
Priming Plug and add water to the Pump
Housing.
iMPORTAnT!
Check for water in the Pump
Housing before each use. Never attempt
to run the Water Pump without water
inside the Pump Housing.
Running
the Water Pump without water will
damage the Water Pump Gaskets and
void the Warranty.
TO START And STOP THE EnGinE
Re-connect the Spark Plug Cap to the
1.
Spark Plug (51) of the Engine.
Turn Engine’s Choke (76) to its
2.
“CHOKE”
position, to far right.
nOTE:
3.
No choke is required if the
Engine is warm. Make sure the Choke
is in the
“RUn”

warm Engine.
Turn the Engine’s Throttle (96) to its
4.
“FAST”
position (to the left.)
Grasp the Starter Handle (7), and pull
5.
slowly until resistance is felt. Allow the
Starter rope to rewind slowly. Then
pull the Starter Handle with a rapid, full
arm stroke. Allow the Starter rope to
rewind slowly. If necessary, repeat this
procedure until the Engine starts.

the Pump from freezing by draining
any remaining water from the Pump
Housing and pumping a permanent type
automotive anti-freeze containing a rust
inhibitor through the system. Flush the
system with a neutralizing liquid prior to
re-use of the unit.
To clean the Water Pump, use a garden

CAUTiOn! All maintenance, service, or
repairs not mentioned in this manual
must only be performed by a qualified
service technician.
Storage
Wait for engine to cool, then clean
1.
engine with clean cloth.
When the equipment is to remain idle for
2.
longer than 20 days, prepare the engine
for storage as follows:
Either leave fuel tank empty or refill fuel
a.
tank with fresh unleaded fuel/oil mix and
fuel stabilizer intended for long term
engine storage (not included). After
filling, run engine for about 5 minutes to
circulate the treated fuel/oil mix through
the carburetor. Wait for engine to cool
before proceeding.
Disconnect battery cables (if equipped).
b.
Empty the primer tank of all water.
3.
Apply a thin coat of rust preventive oil to
4.
all uncoated metal parts.
Cover and store in a dry, well-ventilated
5.
area out of reach of children.
Before starting the engine after storage,
6.
keep in mind that untreated fuel will
deteriorate quickly. Drain the fuel
tank and filter, and change to fresh
fuel if untreated fuel has been sitting
for a month, if treated fuel has been
sitting beyond the fuel stabilizer’s
recommended time period, or if the
engine does not start properly.
