CONNECTING THE HOSES
! NOTE: DO NOT Operate this pump unl you have read
ALL safety, operaon, and maintenance Instrucons listed
in this manual.
1. Pump connecons - Check you have been provided with
all the following parts (Parts may vary from dierent
models). Connect them as follows;
1.1 Connect the lter to the sucon hose.
! CAUTION: Ensure that the lter is securely
connected so it can prevent debris being passed
into the pump. Keep the sucon hose at least
200mm below depth ensuring it is fully submerged
and there are no obstrucons.
1.2 Connect the sucon hose to the inlet port
! CAUTION: It is recommended that the sucon
hose be made of hardened pipe and it is short in
length (7m maximum based on sucon depth).
1.3 Connect the outlet hose to the outlet port
! CAUTION: The maximum water ow for the
pump is based on rpm, outlet size and hose size.
It is recommended to use a 3” hose for maximum
water ow. Fasten all hoses to the pump so they
cannot loosen under high pressure.

OPERATING CHECKLIST
1. OPERATING AREA - This pump is for outdoor use only.
Always keep the area around the water pump clear.
Place the pump in a well-vented area and carefully note
the wind and air currents. Place the water pump on rm
horizontal surface before running. The pump should not
exceed a height more than its maximum sucon depth
as it may not pump or could overheat.
! DANGER: TOXIC FUMES - The exhaust of the
pump engine contains carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas. Using pump indoors CAN KILL
YOU! NEVER use inside any building or any kind of
enclosure, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
2. OPERATING CONDITION - Check for loose or damaged
parts, signs of oil or fuel leaks, and any other condion
that may aect proper operaon. Repair or replace all
damaged or defecve parts immediately.
Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around
the muer and recoil starter.
! DANGER: Failing to correct problem(s) before
operaon could result in property damage, serious

Pg. 10

CHECK ENGINE OIL
! WARNING: This engine is not lled with oil from the
factory. Any aempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly lled (with the recommended type and
amount of oil) may result in engine damage and void your
warranty.
1. ENGINE OIL - Place the engine on a level surface with
engine stopped. Remove the dipsck and wipe it clean.
Reinsert dipsck into oil ll neck; wait, DO NOT thread
cap into tube.
2. Remove the dipsck again and check oil level. Level
should be at top of indicator on dipsck.
3. If lower, ll to the upper limit (marked with “H”) of the
dipsck with the recommended oil. Reinsert and fully
ghten the dipsck.
! WARNING: Oil is a major factor aecng
performance and service life of an engine. Use 4-stroke
automove oil SAE30.
Pg. 11

CHECK FUEL LEVELS
! CAUTION: Pressure can build up in the fuel tank. Allow
the engine to cool for at least two minutes before removing
fuel cap. Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve any pressure
in the tank
• ENGINE FUEL - With the engine stopped, check the fuel
level gauge. Rell the fuel tank if necessary.
• Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline only. DO
NOT mix oil with gasoline.
• Be sure not to ll above the upper limit mark, always ll
to the level indicator, or ll to 25mm le from fuel tank
(to allow room for fuel expansion).
! DANGER: FIRE OR EXPLOSION - Gasoline is highly
ammable and extremely explosive. A re or explosion
can cause severe burns or death.
• Keep ammable items away while handling
gasoline.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors and in a well-venlated area
with the engine stopped.
• Always wipe o spilled fuel and wait unl the fuel
has dried before starng the engine.
• DO NOT operate the engine with known leaks in
the fuel system.
• Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures.

NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in fuel system, such as the carburetor, fuel lter, fuel
hose or tank during storage. Also, any alcohol-blended
Pg. 12

fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can aract
moisture, which leads to separaon and formaon of
acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. Be sure to review the Storage
instrucons.
Gasoline/Alcohol Blends: up to 10% alcohol, 90%
unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as a fuel.
Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved.
Eects of old, stale or contaminated fuel may void your
warranty.
! CAUTION: To minimise gum deposits in your fuel
system and to insure easy starng, do not use gasoline
le over from the previous season.
PRIMING THE PUMP
! CAUTION: Operang a pump with no water will
damage the seals, which may void the warranty.
