OPERATION
1. Fill the engine crankcase with oil. Refer to the engine operat-
ing manual for the specific grade of oil and amount required.
2. Fill the engine fuel tank with gasoline. Refer to the engine
operating manual for specific gasoline type that is most ef-
ficient for this engine.
3. Add water to the priming port on the pump (SEE FIGURE 3).
Continue adding water until the water level is approximately
3 inches from the top. Install the priming plug. The water in
the pump will create the suction that primes the pump.
4. Turn fuel valve to ‘ON’ position.
5. Move choke lever to ‘CHOKE’ position.
6. Move throttle lever to ‘START’ position.
7. Pull engine crank until engine starts. Once engine starts,
move choke lever to ‘RUN’ position.
noTE: The pump may take several minutes to prime.
PIPING
Always place the pump as close as possible to the liquid being
pumped. Keep all pipe and hose lines as short and straight as possible.
All suction connections must be airtight. If the pump won’t
prime, check for leaks in the suction piping or fittings. If flexible
suction hose is used instead of pipe, use reinforced hose with a
two inch inner diameter. Non-reinforced flexible hose may col-
lapse from the vacuum created as the pump primes.
Always use a strainer at the end of the suction pipe or hose. Posi-
tion strainer so it doesn’t become clogged with stones or debris.
A suction line check valve next to strainer is recommended.
Do not use this pump for suction lifts over twenty-five feet.
