Before Opera on
Read and understand this manual; know what the controls do and how to operate them. Familiarize yourself
with the pump and its opera on before you begin pumping water.
For your safety and to maximize the service life of your Pump it is very important to take a few moments before
opera on to check its condi on.
• Look around and underneath the pump for signs of oil or gasoline leaks
• Remove any excessive dirt or debris
• Look for any signs of damage
• Check that all nuts, bolts, screws, Hose connec ons and Clamps are ght
• Check condi on of Hoses
• Check that the Strainer is in good condi on
Before Star ng Pump
• Check engine oil level. Low oil level can cause engine damage.
• Check air lter. Restric ve/dirty air lter will reduce pump performance.
• Check fuel level. Full tank will reduce interrup ons during opera on.
Pump Placement
For best Pump performance, place the
pump near the water level and use hoses
that are no longer than necessary.
As pumping height (head) increases the
pump output decreases. The length, type,
and size of the hoses can also a ect pump
output.
Suc on Hose Installa on
Use the Hose, Hose Adapter, Clamp, and seal provided with
the Pump. The Suc on Hose must be reinforced with a non-
collapsible wall or braided wire construc on to prevent Suc on
Hose collapse.
The Suc on Hose should be no longer than necessary as the
Pump performance is best when the Pump is near the water level
and hoses are short.
Never use a Suc on Hose with an inside diameter less than 1”.
Use provided Hose Clamp to securely fasten the Hose Adapters
to the Hose in order to prevent air leakage and loss of suc on.
Verify that the seal is in good condi on and replace as necessary.
A ach Hose with small O-Ring Seal to the Pump’s Inlet port.
Install provided Strainer on the other end of the Suc on Hose
and secure it with a Clamp. The Strainer will help to prevent the
Pump from becoming clogged or damaged by debris. Do not
operate the Pump without the Strainer as it could damage the
Pump.
Tighten the Hose Adapter to the pump suc on port.
