ENGLISH 100113
Your semi-trash pump requires some assembly. This unit
ships from our factory without oil. It must be properly
serviced with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
semi-trash pump, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999.
Please have your serial number and model number
available.
Remove the Semi-trash pump from the Shipping Carton
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the
semi-trash pump.
3. Carefully cut each corner of the box from top to bottom.
Fold each side flat on the ground to provide a surface
area to install the wheel kit and support leg.
ASSEMBLY
Install the Wheel Kit
The wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use.
CAUTION
You will need the following tools to install the wheels:
• 17 mm wrench OR adjustable wrench (not included)
• Socket wrench with a 16 mm socket (not included)
1. Slide the M10x105 wheel bolt through the washer,
sleeve and wheel.
2. Slide the bolt through the mount point on the frame.
3. Fasten securely with the M10 nut.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to attach the second wheel.
Install the Handle
1. Place the handle over the mounting channel on the
frame.
2. Secure the handle to the frame using the two handle
bolts (M8x45).
3. Place a nut (M8) on the end of each bolt and fasten
securely. DO NOT over tighten the lock nuts.
Install the Vibration Mounts
1. Attach the support leg with rubber vibration mounts
to the frame cross member using a flange bolt
(M8x16) and nut (M8).
2. Thread the flange bolt through the vibration mount
and the frame.
3. Secure with nut. Tighten, but DO NOT over tighten.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for second other side of the leg.

100113 ENGLISH
ASSEMBLY
Add Engine Oil Add Engine Oil Cont’d.
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of oil (not included) and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the generator as
a result of failure to follow these instructions will
void your warranty.
CAUTION
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for
the life of the bearing.
NOTE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial
break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not
increase the recommended oil change interval.
NOTE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be
the break-in period for the unit. During the break
in period stay at or below 50% of the running
watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the
load will also cause engine speed to vary and help
seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.
NOTE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine
performance. Change the type of engine oil used
based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.

ASSEMBLY
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor.
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.
NOTE
Add Fuel Cont’d.
Add Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol
content of less than 10% by volume.
2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
4. Remove the fuel cap.
5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fuel
can expand after filling. A minimum of 6.4 mm (¼ in.)
of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion,
more than 6.4 mm (¼ in.) is recommended. Fuel
can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion
if it is overfilled, and can affect the stable running
condition of the product. When filling the tank, it is
recommended to leave enough space for the fuel to
expand.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately 6.4 mm (¼ in.) below the
top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the
gas station. Use an approved container to transfer
the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the
fuel tank.
CAUTION
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.

Semi-trash pump Location
Place the semi-trash pump in a well ventilated area. DO
NOT place the semi-trash pump near vents or intakes
where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied
or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air
currents when positioning semi-trash pump.
This semi-trash pump must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of
clearance from combustible material. Leave at least
3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides of the semi-
trash pump to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance
and servicing.
Place the pump on a level surface free from any
obstructions or potential hazards. The pump should
be placed close to the water level to ensure maximum
pump performance.
Connecting a Hose Kit
Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and
size of the suction and discharge hoses. The pumping
height, also known as the total head, is the distance
from the water level to the point of discharge. As
this distance increases, pump output decreases. The
discharge capacity is greater than the suction capacity.
Therefore, it is important that the suction head is less
than the discharge head.
The time required to draw water from the source to
the pump (self-priming time) can be decreased by
minimizing the suction head.
OPERATION
Both the intake and discharge ports are 2 in.
(5.1 cm) NPT. Please insure the connectors to the
suction and discharge hose are 2 in. (5.1 cm) NPT
threaded.

OPERATION
Priming the Pump Cont’d. Starting the Engine Cont’d.
Located on the outlet flange is the priming plug.
Remove the priming plug and fill pump body to the very
top of outlet flange with water. Reinstall the priming
plug. As the engine starts up, this will start the draw of
liquid into the pump. Located within the pump assembly
is the one-way valve. As you prime the pump housing
this one-way flap valve shuts off the opening to the
suction hose. The priming process is only required when
the pump housing is not full of water.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the semi-trash pump is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Flip engine switch (A) to “ON” position.
3. Rotate the fuel valve (B) to the “ON” position.
4. Move the choke lever (C) to the “Choke” position.
5. Move throttle lever to middle position. (D)
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly.
7. As engine warms up, move the choke lever (C) to
“ R u n ”.
8. Move the throttle lever (D) to the “Fast” position.
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the semi-trash pump is on a flat, level surface.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that
will prevent the engine from running when the oil
level falls below a critical threshold.
NOTE
A
B
D
C
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for 2 pulls of
the recoil starter. After 2 pulls, move choke lever to
the “Run” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the
recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug
fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming
air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
Pump performance can be adjusted using the
throttle. To decrease pump output, slide the throttle
to the right. To increase it, slide the throttle to the
left.
NOTE
Ensure the priming plug is secure before pump
operation, if not secure the priming plug could be
ejected and water or other liquids could be pumped
through the top of the outlet flange.
NOTE
DO NOT remove either top, or drain (bottom) plugs
while the water pump is on and running
Loss of pressure and suction will occur. Injury may
also occur.
WARNING
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
3. Move the throttle lever to slow position.
4. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the
Engine Switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine
is not in use.
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2)
weeks or longer, please see the Storage section for
proper engine and fuel storage.

Operation using the alternative main jet at
elevations lower than the recommended minimum
altitude can damage the engine. For operation at
lower elevations, the standard main jet must be
used. Operating the engine with the wrong engine
configuration at a given altitude may increase
its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.
WARNING
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-
fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output
will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000
feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend
and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high
altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result
due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural
power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet
it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For
this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the
carburetor. Select the correct main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor.
