To get the best out of your
Aussie Pump product these
important warning notices
need to observed.
Before starting the pump
read Pump Operators
manual.
Please note that the pump
operator’s manual does not
include detailed engine data.
Check the engine
manufacturers manual,
supplied with the product, for
further information.
No oil is supplied with the
engine. Oil must be added in
accordance with the engine
manufacturer’s instructions.
(Relevant to four stroke
engines only).
Pump must be primed
before starting. Fill pump
body with liquid. Pump must
not be allowed to run without
liquid passing through the
casing. DO NOT run pump
either dry or with insufficient
water supply. Pump supply
or delivery lines must not be
shut off.
Do not use the pump in a
gaseous or hazardous
environment or near
combustible material.
Do not use the pump in an
enclosed area, engine
exhaust could build up and
cause asphyxiation.
Do not refuel engine while
operating. Shut engine down
before refueling.
Some engine components
will get hot during operation.
Do not touch engine
components while engine is
running or immediately after
operation. For details check
engine operator’s manual.
Do not allow children to
operate the pump.
Familiarise yourself with the
pump’s controls with
emphasis on how to stop the
pump quickly.
Always refuel in a well
ventilated area, do not
smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the refueling area
or where gasoline is stored.
Do not over fill the fuel tank,
as spilled fuel can ignite if it
comes into contact with hot
engine parts or sparks. After
refueling, make sure tank
cap is closed properly and is
secure.
Protect your pump from
pressure spikes by installing
a by-pass or safety valve if
sudden shut off of the water
flow is likely to occur.

Engine Troubleshooting; refer to engine manufacturer’s manual
TROUBLESHOOTING
Practically all breakdowns can be prevented by proper handling and maintenance inspections, but in
the event of an issue check the Troubleshooting information shown below.
PUMP TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLUTION
Pump does not
take on water.
Not enough priming water in the
housing? Add water.
Engine speed too low? Increase throttle.
Strainer plugged? Clean strainer
Suction hose damaged? Replace or repair hose, and clamps
Air leak at suction port? Check that fittings are tight and properly
sealed.
Pump is located too high above
water line? Move pump closer to water.
Debris collecting in pump hous-
ing? Clean pump housing.
Too much distance between im-
peller and volute. Adjust clearance by adding shims or replace impeller. Min. .010" -Max. .020
Water leaking out weep hole be-
tween pump and engine?
Check condition of mechanical seal and
gaskets, between pump end and engine
housing.
Suction lift or discharge head too
high. Check hose/pipe installation.
Pump takes in
water, little or no
discharge.
Engine speed too low? Increase throttle speed
Suction strainer partially plugged? Clean strainer
Impeller/volute worn? Adjust clearance by adding shims or replace
impeller/volute
Suction hose leaks
at inlet
Fittings/clamps are not sealed
properly? Tighten, replace or add clamp. (Keep extra seals on pump)
Hose diameter is too large? Use smaller diameter hose or replace hose
Discharge hose
does not stay on Pressure too high? Check pressure, add additional clamp.
Hose kinked or end blocked? Check hose.
Impeller does not
turn, pump is hard
to start.
Impeller jammed or blocked? Open pump cover and clean dirt and debris
from inside housing.
Impeller and volute binding? Adjust clearance by removing shim from
behind impeller.
Defective engine? See Engine Owners Manual.

Australian Pump Industries EASY SERVICE DATA
Handy service hints
1. To maximize pump life, drain
pump after use and flush out
with clean, fresh water.
2. Read engine manufacturer’s
owner’s manual thoroughly
and service as recommended.
3. Store pump in a dry, safe loca-
tion when not in use.
4. If storing for long periods,
drain fuel from engine and
tank.
5. Buna N seals have been fitted
to enable pumping of sea wa-
ter and oily waste and diesel
fuel.
6. Aussie Seamaster pumps are
specifically designed to pump
salty water. Pumping other
liquids may shorten life and
impact on warranty. For a
comprehensive chemical com-
patibility chart contact your
Aussie Pump dealer.
7. Pumping water containing sol-
ids will prematurely wear pump
components, and may impact
warranty.
8. Ensure that the correct size
strainer is installed on the suc-
tion hose at all times.
Service/Installation hints
Systems requiring hydrostatic re-
lief valve.
Fitting a hydrostatic relief valve in
any installation should only be car-
ried out by a pump or installation
specialist. Such products offer lim-
ited hydrostatic relief. It is the re-
sponsibility of the installer to ensure
that the performance of the valve
meets the required application.
Hydrostatic Shock
Prevent hydrostatic shock by using
thick planking either side of the hose
where it crosses roadways.
Strainer Placement
Place strainer on bed of rocks or in-
side an old bucket. Alternatively use
a pontoon or float to keep pump
strainer clear of debris.
Aussie Seamaster … Owners Manual 5
Australian Pump Industries
When installing an Aussie self prim-
ing pump always remember that the
closer the pump is placed to the
source of supply the better the per-
formance will be.
To ensure maximum capacity select
a site that will permit the shortest
and most direct suction piping and
smallest vertical lift.
Set the pump on firm and level foun-
dations.
Connecting the Suction Hose
Use commercially available hose,
hose connector and hose bands.
The suction hose must be of rein-
forced non collapsible construction,
suction hose length should not be
longer than necessary as the longer
the suction hose, the less delivery
performance of the pump. Self prim-
ing time is also proportional to suc-
tion hose length!
Strainer should always be used on
the end of the suction hose to keep
solids out of the pump.
Check carefully to make sure there
are no air leaks in the suction line.
Connecting the Discharge Hose
Use a commercially available hose,
hose connector and hose bands. A
large diameter hose is most efficient.
Long, small diameter hoses will in-
crease friction loss and reduce pump
performance and adversely affect
performance.
Priming
Remove the priming cap at the top
of the delivery port. Fill pump body
with water and refit priming cap
tightly.
Open gate valve on delivery line if
fitted.
Never attempt to oper-
ate pump without prim-
ing first. Extended dry
operation will destroy
pump seal. If unit has
been operated dry, stop
the engine immediately,
allow the pump to cool
before adding priming
water.
Hydraulic Shock
If the water flow is suddenly termi-
nated by closing a valve, without
stopping the pump first, it can cause
hydraulic shock. This can travel back
to the pump causing serious dam-
age. To prevent pump damage in-
stall a by-pass or safety valve.
