1. CONNECTING THE INLET
WARNING!: ENSURE THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND
THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ASSEMBLY.
Connecting the Suction Inlet
1. Placethelter
assembly into the
intake end of a
suction hose (not
supplied) and
secure with a hose
clamp tightly.
2. Insert a hose
adaptor and a
O-ring into one
of the collars and
fasten to the outlet
side of the suction
hose using a hose
clamp.
3. Screw the hose adaptor
assembly tightly onto the
pumps inlet in a clockwise
direction to secure in place.
Note: Teontape(notsupplied)
is recommended on threads to
ensure a water tight seal and
prevent any leakage. DO NOT
use adhesives in replace of
Teontape.
The inlet allows for a 25.4mm (1”) supply line to be connected
and is capable of a maximum suction height (lift) of 7m.
WARNING!: AVOID POSITIONING THE INLET PIPE
HIGHER THAN THE PUMP, AS THIS WOULD DELAY THE
ESCAPE OF AIR BUBBLES FROM THE INLET PIPE.
WARNING!: THE INPUT HOSE OR PIPE SHOULD BE
LOW ENOUGH IN THE WATER TO ENSURE THAT IF THE
WATER LEVEL FALLS, THE PUMP WILL NOT RUN DRY.
ENSURE THAT THIS IS CHECKED WHEN IN OPERATION.

ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructionsmayresultinelectricshock,reand/orseriousinjury.
Save these instructions
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Donotoperatepumpsinexplosiveatmospheres,suchasinthepresenceofammableliquids,
gases or dust. Pumps create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a pump. Distractions can cause you to lose control.\
2. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a pump. Do not use
apumpwhileyouaretiredorundertheinuenceofdrugs,alcoholormedication. A moment of
inattention while operating a pump may result in serious personal injury.
b. Avoid accidental starting. Carryingpumpwithyourngerontherecoilstarterinvitesaccidents.
3. Pump use and care
a. Store idle pump out reach of children and other untrained persons. Pumps are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
b. Always shut off the engine, allow the engine to cool and remove spark plug before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,or storing pumps. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the pump accidentally.
c. Maintain pumps. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the pumps operation. If damaged, have the pump repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained pumps.
d. Use the pump, and accessories etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of pump, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed.Useofthepumpforoperationsdifferentfromintendedcouldresultinahazardoussituation.
4. Service
a. Haveyourpumpservicedbyaqualiedrepairpersonusingonlyidenticalreplacementparts.This will
ensure that the safety of the pump is maintained.
WARNING! This product is intended for pumping water in a Home Domestic application. Do
not use it for corrosive, abrasive, explosive or dangerous liquids. Fluids other than water will
damagethewaterpumpand/orcreatearehazard.Failuretofollowallinstructionslisted
belowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/orseriousinjury.
WARNING! This product is not suitable for use with drinking (potable) water.
This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Ensure the water pump is switched off when installing.
• Donotinstalloroperatethewaterpumpinanexplosiveenvironmentornearammablematerial.
• Do not operate the water pump without liquid.
• Do not run the water pump dry.
• Never refuel while engine is running or hot.Fuelspilledonahotenginecouldresultinareorexplosion.
• Usecautionwhenhandlingpetrol.Refuelinwell-ventilatedarea.Donotoverllfueltankanddonot
spill fuel. Make sure tank cap is closed properly.Petrolisextremelyammableandisexplosiveunder
certain conditions.
• Neverruntheengineinanenclosedorconnedarea. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas;
exposure may cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
• Donotusetopumpammableorexplosiveliquidssuchasgasoline,fueloil,kerosene,solventsor
thinners. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. Failure
to follow to this warning can result in serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.
• Pump must be located on a solid level surface. Pump could tip or fall causing serious injury.
• Do not hold or suspend pump by means of a discharge pipe. Pipe could break or come loose.
• Becarefulnottotouchthemuferwhileitishot.Toavoidsevereburnsorrehazards,letthe
engine cool before transporting or storing it indoors. Themuferbecomesveryhotduringoperationand
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Exhaust may contain chemicals that may cause cancer or
reproductive harm.
WARNING! The water pump together with associated pipework operate under pressure. Do not
disconnect water pump or pipework until internal pressure has been released. Failure to do this
could result in personal injury and damage to property.
• Avoid inserting hands into the inlets/outlets of the water pump while it is operating.
• Before using the water pump, always inspect it visually. Do not use the pump if it is cracked and/or damaged.
Ifthewaterpumpisdamaged,contactOzitocustomerservice.
• The pump must not be used when people are in the water.
• Pollutionoftheliquidcouldoccurduetoleakageoflubricants
Ifnowaterisproducedwithin10minutes,stoppump,releaseallpressure,removeprimingplug,rellandtry
again.
WARNING! Hazardous pressure and risk of explosion and scalding. If pump is run continuously
atnoow(thatis,withdischargeshutofforwithoutpriming),watermayboilinpumpand
pipingsystem.Understeampressure,pipesmayrupture,blowoffttingorblowoutpump
ports and scald anyone near.
To prevent explosion, do the following:
A.Ensuredischarge(valve,hosenozzle,etc)isopenwheneverpumpisrunning.
B.Ifpumpfailstoproducewaterwhenattemptingtoprime,releaseallpressure,drainpumpandrellwithcold
water after every two attempts.
C. When priming, monitor pump and piping temperature. If pump or piping begin to feel warm to the touch, shut
offpumpandallowsystemtocool.Releaseallpressureinthesystemandrellpumpandpipingwithcold
