1. PUMP SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INF'ORMATION
40ZBI5-1.4Q water pump sets are 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.
Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the pump. The
most cornmon hazards are discussed belorv, along rvith the best way to protect yourself and others:
For safety, never pump flammable, noxious or corrosive liquids such as gasoline or acid. Also, to
avoid pump corrosion, never punlp sea water, muddy water, chemical solutions, or caustic liquids such
as used oil, wine, or milk.
If the pump set appears some unusual condition, turn the ENGINE SWITCH to OFF stop the
engine.
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
tum the engine off. Understand the use of all controls and connections.
Be sure that anyone who operates the pump receives proper instr';ction. Do not let children operate
the pump. Keep children and pets away from the area of operation.
Before Operation
Place the pump on a firm, level surface. If the pump is tilted or overtutned, ftlel spillage may result.
Do not pump the water over stated height. Use the pump set under 1000 m site altitude of installation.
Do not use it in flammability, acrid environment.
1

Do not run without priming water, dry operation will burn the seal. To prevent fire hazards and to
provide adequate ventilation, keep the pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other
equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the pump. A spark arrester is
available as an optional part for this pump. It is illegal in some areas to operate an engine without a
spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations before operating.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode" Refuel outdoors, in a
well-ventilat ed 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 store gasoline in an approved container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up
before starting the engine.
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. Allow the engine to cool for at least 20
minutes before transporting the pump or storing it indoors.
To prevent fire hazards, keep the pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from building walls and other
equipment during operation. Do not place flamrnable 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.

2. PRE.OPERATION PREPARATION
ARE YOU READY TO GET STARTED
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your
risk of injury. a
KNOWLEDGE
Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to operate them.
Familiaùze yourself with the purnp and its operation before you begin pumping. Know what to do
in case of emergencies.
Be sure of what you are pumping. This pump is designed to pump only water that is not intended
for human consumption.
CONNECTING WATER INTET PIPE
Use commercially available hose, hose joint and clamp. The water inlet hose must be of continuous
struchrre and be non-folded. The length of the hose should be as the same as or not more than that
reqnired. In this case, not far away fi'om the surface of water supply, the water pump will arrive its
optimal performance. Self-suction time varies with the length of the water inlet hose in direct ratio. The
filter matching with the water pump should be mounted to the end of the water inlet hose with a hose
clamp, shown in the diagram below.
3

I cauuoN
Before pumping, install the filter securely to the end of the water inlet hose. The filter
fiItrates any impurity, which may produce passage jam to damage impellers.
Be sure to install the hose joint and clamp well so as to prevent from air leaks and pumping
performance drop; loose water inlet hose will decrease the-water pump performance and
sell'-suction ability
walsrot.dethose
Filter HouadamP
CONNECTING THE WATBR OULET "O'U
.''.'
IJse commercially available hose, hose joint and clamp. A short hose with a big diameter is the best.
A long hose with small diameter will increase flowing resistance and decrease the power output of the
water pump.
NOTB
Tighten the hose clamp to avoid falling off under high pressure.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
I c.tt'rlon
The quality of the engine oil is one of the key factors in deciding engine performance and
service life. Not apply filthy engine oil or vegetable oil.
Be sure to check engine oil level with the engine stalled and stand vertically in level ground.
Check the engine rvith it stopped on a level ground.
SAElOW - 30 (Fig.2) is recommended for general,
all temperature use.

3. Reinserl the dipstick into the oil filler without screwing in, and check oil level.
4. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended'engine oil to the oil filler nick.
5. Reinstall the dipstick
CAUTION
Run with insufficient engine oil may damage the engine severely.
AIR CLEANER
Check the filter element for dirt, and remove it if any.
CARTION
Never run the engine without an air cleaner, or severe wear of the engine may occur,

L Fuel
The engine must apply unleaded gasoline or low - leaded
gasoline. Using unleaded gasoline will decrease the possibility of
producing carbon deposit and prolong the engine's service life.
Never use an oil gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid
getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.

A WARNING
O Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
O Refuelingina well - ventilation area with the engine stopped. Do not snroke and allow flames or
sparks in the area where gasoline is stored or where the fuel tank is refueled.
3 Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After reftieling, make sure the
fuel tank cap is set back securely.
O Be careful not to spill fuel r.vhen refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite" If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry enough before Stariing the engine.
O Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of fuel vapor'
O Keep out of reach of children.
WATER CAPACITY CHECK IN THE PUMP
Before operating the pump, make sure to fill the pump with enough water.
1[ caurron
Do not try to run the engine without water inside, otherwise the pump will become
overheated. Prolonged running of the pump without
water will rlamage the pump gasket. If the water in
the pump is used up, stall the engine at once and fill
the pump once it cools down.

* Operating on Highlands
On highlands, the standard carburetor'air/fuel mixture is relatively too rich so the engine
performance may be impaired while the fuel consumption may increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in
the carburetor, and readjusting the idle needle screw and thé idle adjust screly. If you always
operate the engine at altitudes higher than 1830m above sea level, ask your dealer for adjusting
the carburetor.
The engine power will decrease approximately 3.5o for every 305 meters increase in
altitude, even the proper main jet of carburetor is used. The affect of altitude on power rvill be
greater than this if no carburetor modification is conducted.
CAUTION
The engine equipped with the main jet applicable to highlands may be damaged seriously in area
below specified altitude, because its mixture ratio is too lean, output drops and the engine overheats
for operation in low altitude area. In the case, ask your dealer to recover the engine to its normal
technical status.

5. MAINTENANCE
i[,wanNnc
O Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance.
O To prevent accidental start - up, turn OFF the engine switch and disconnect the spark plug
cap.
O The engine should be serviced by your dealer unless the owner has proper tools and service
data and fells hie is mechanically qualified.
I. MAINTENANCE SC}IEDULE
Periodic inspection and adjusiment of the engine is essential if high level performance is to be maintained.
Regular maintenance will also ensure a long service life. The required service intervals and the kind of maintenance
to be performed are described on the table below.
