Operation
1. The MQ41TDH trash pump should begin pumping water
within a minute depending on the length of suction hose
and height the pump is above water.
NOTE
Longer suction hoses will require more time
for the pump to begin pumping water.
2. If pump does not begin to pump water after a few
minutes, check for loose connections or air leaks in
suction hose. Make sure there is water in the pump end
and strainer is not clogged with debris, reference pump
troubleshooting guide on page 25.

minutes. Place speed control lever in the stop position
and listen for the engine to stop running.
