IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This water pump is designed to pump only water that is not intended for
human consumption, and other uses can result in injury to the operator
or damage to the pump and other property.
Always make a pre-operation inspection before you start the engine.
You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this
manual and on the pump. The most common hazards are discussed
below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others.
Operator Responsibility
It is the operator's responsibility to provide the necessary safeguards
to protect people and property. Know how to stop the pump quickly in
case of emergency.
If you leave the pump for any reason, always turn the engine off.
Understand the use of all controls and connections.
Be sure that anyone who operates the pump receives proper instruction.
Do not let children operate the pump. Keep children and pets away from
the area of operation.
Pump Operation
Pump only water that is not intended for human consumption. Pumping
flammable liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a fire or
explosion, causing serious injury. Pumping sea water, beverages, acids,
chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion can
damage the pump.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped and
the pump on a level surface. Do not fill the fuel tank above the fuel
strainer shoulder. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames
and sparks away. Always stored gasoline in an approved container.
6

Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the
engine. After refueling, make sure the tank cap closed properly and
securely.
Hot Exhaust
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before transporting the pump or
storing it indoors.
To prevent fire hazards, keep the pump at least 3 feet (1 meter) away
from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not place
flammable objects close to the engine.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon
monoxide. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Never run the engine in a
closed garage or confined area.

4. CHECK BEFORE OPERATION
IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you operate the engine to check its condition. Be sure to take
care of any problem you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate
the engine.
Improperly maintaining this engine
or failure to correct a problem
before operation, could cause a
malfunction in which you could be
seriously injured.
Always perform a preoperation
inspection before each operation,
and correct any problem.
Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the engine is level and the engine
switch is in the OFF position.
Check the General Condition of the Engine
Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler and recoil starter.
Look for signs of damage.
Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and screws are
tightened.
Check the Engine
Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types) will automatically stop the engine before the
oil level falls below safe limits. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, always check the engine oil level before startup.
Check the air filter. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance.
Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating
interruptions for refueling.
Check the Equipment Powered by This Engine
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this engine for any
precautions and procedures that should be followed before engine startup.

6. MAINTENANCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also
help reduce air pollution.
Improperly maintaining this engine,
or failure to correct a problem
before operation, can cause a
malfunction in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner’s manual.
To help you properly care for your engine, the following pages include a maintenance
schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic
hand tools. Other service tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are best
handled by professionals and are normally performed by a technician or other qualified
mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your
engine under unusual conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature
operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for
recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Some of the most important safety precautions are as follows: However, we cannot warn
you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can
decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
Failure to properly follow
maintenance instructions and
precautions can cause you to be
seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and
precautions in the owner’s manual.
Safety Precautions
16

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will
eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills
required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline.
Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks
and flames away from all fuel-related parts.
Remember that your servicing dealer knows your engine best and is fully equipped to
maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine parts or their equivalents
for repair and replacement.

REFUELING
Fuel tank capacities
152F: 0.47 US qt (1.4L)
With the engine stopped, remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank
if the fuel level is low.
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. You can be burned or
seriously injured when handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep heat,
sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Maximum fuel level
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has been running,
allow it to cool. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the fuel strainer
shoulder. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or
sparks. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances,
power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage. Wipe up spills
immediately.
18

Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered
under warranty.
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or
water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear a light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’ (metallic rapping noise) while
operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.
If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change
brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized servicing dealer.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine
damage.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is considered misuse,
and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.
1. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
