This pump is designed to transfer clean water.
Never attempt using this pump to deliver dirty
water or slurry, or any inflammable or
corrosive liquids.
Do not touch the hot muffler while the machine
is working. Move the machine when it's
stopped and cooled down.
To prevent fire hazards, keep at least 1 meter
of clearance on all sides of this machine
during operation.
Danger due to materials blown out of
machine! Remove persons in the vicinity
from the danger area. Keep bystanders
away.

PRE-STARTING OPERATION
STARING THE ENGINE
STOP THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: Install the strainer on the end of the
suction hose before operation. The strainer prevents
foreign materials and protects the pump from block
and component damages. (Fig. 1)
IMPORTANT: The Oil Shortage Alarm System is
designed to avoid damage of the engine due to shortage
of oil in the crankcase . The system will automatically shut
down the engine just before the crankcase oil level drops
down to the minimum line of safety.
Recommended oil type
10W-30 (Fig. 3)
Checking and filling the pump with cooling water
The pump must be fully filled with priming water before it
is put to operation. (Fig. 5)
Checking fuel level
Uncap the fuel tank and check the fuel level while the
machine is not in operation. Add unleaded petrol if the
fuel level is found too low.
NOTE: Please use oil pot to add engine oil to the
crankcase when the crankcase is empty.
Checking oil level (The pump must not be in operation)
To start this water pump, please check the
following before each use:
Do not allow the fuel to overflow the fuel tank. The
maximum fuel level is shown as Fig.4. Wipe up any
spilled unleaded petrol with a dry cloth immediately.
It is recommended to use fresh, unleaded petrol
with an octane rating of 91 Octane and above. Use
of ethanol gasoline (more than 10% blended) is not
allowed.
• Confirm that engine oil has been properly added.
• Confirm that unleaded petrol has been properly added.
• Confirm that water has been fully added in the
pump housing. Dry running will damage the
mechanical seal quickly.
• Remove the oil dipstick and wipe it dry.
• Insert the dipstick into the oil filler (but don't screw it
in) to check the oil level.
• If the existing oil level is found lower than or close
to the lowermost position of the dipstick then
replenish the crankcase with the recommended
type of oil until the oil level comes up to uppermost
position of the threaded hole.
• Insert the dipstick into the oil filler again and screw
it in. (Fig. 2)
• 4-stroke engine oil.
• Use a high quality detergent oil classified "For
Service SE" or higher.
• Choose a viscosity according to the table in
different areas and different seasons.
1. Turn the fuel valve ON.(Fig. 6)
2. Close the choke lever. (Fig. 7)
NOTE: In case the engine is warm or ambient
temperature is high, it's not necessary to close the
choke lever.
3. Move the throttle lever from right (low speed) to left
(high speed) to keep about 1/3 distance from the
left (high speed). (Fig. 8)
4. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. (Fig. 9)
5. Pull the starter handle lightly until resistance is felt,
and then pull it briskly. (Fig. 10)
NOTE: Turn the engine switch to the OFF position
immediately to shut down the engine in an
emergency.
3). Turn the fuel valve OFF. (Fig. 15)
Please follow the steps below to stop the engine:
1 ). Move the throttle lever to the right end flow speed).
(Fig. 13)
2). Turn the engine switch to the OFF position. (Fig.
14)
6. Move the choke lever gradually to the ON position
after the engine warms up. (Fig. 11)
7. Move the throttle lever fully to the left (high speed).
(Fig. 12)
CAUTION
Confirm that fresh engine oil has been properly
added.
CAUTION
Confirm that unleaded petrol has been properly
added in the fuel tank.
CAUTION
Confirm that water has been properly added in the
pump.
CAUTION
Return the starter handle gently to the starter. Do
not allow to snap back against the engine.

MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
Change paper filter element only.
1.Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
2.These items should be serviced by an authorized
dealer, unless the owner has the proper tools and is
mechanically proficient.
Changing engine oil
Warm up the engine prior to draining the oil. This will
assure a rapid and complete draining. Switch off the
engine before draining the oil.
Cleaning filter element:
Slightly tap the filter element a few times, then blow it
with compressed air (pressures 207 KPa) from inside.
Do not clean the filter element with brush, which will
block the air passages of the element.
Cleaning foam filter element:
Wash the element in hot water with detergent or in a non
flammable or high flash point solvent. Let it dry
thoroughly and immerse it into clean oil and then
squeeze out the excess oil.
Maintaining the spark plug
The recommended type of spark plug is F7RTC.
Maintaining the air filter
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor and
result in less pump power. Service the air filter periodically
to prevent carburetor malfunctions. More frequent
maintenance will be necessary if the pump is working in
an extremely dirty environment.
The engine will not start:
1) Remove the oil dipstick and the drain screw, then drain
the oil.
2) Reinstall the drain screw and tighten it. (Fig. 16)
3). Place the engine in a level position and refill with
recommended oil.
4). Reinstall the oil dipstick and tighten it.
5) Clean the lower part of air filter, air filter cover and
rubber gasket.
6) Combine the filter element and foam filter element.
7) Reinstall the air filter element and the cover.
1) Remove the plug cap.
2) Remove the spark plug with the wrench.
3) Visually check the spark plug. Discard it if the
electrode or insulation ring is damaged or the
insulator is broken or cracked. Check the plug gap
with a feeler gauge. The gap should be 0.70 - 0.80
mm. Vary the gap by moving the side electrode if
necessary.
4) Thread the plug in by hand to prevent
cross-threading.
5) Tighten the spark plug with the wrench to compress
the washer.
6) Reinstall plug cap. (Fig. 18)
1. Is there enough fuel?
2. Is the fuel valve ON?
3. Has the fuel reached the carburetor?
To check, remove the oil drain screw and turn the fuel
valve on.
NOTE: Be sure to keep the environment clean when
disposing used engine oil. We suggest you collect the
waste oil in a container to be sent to a waste disposal
site or a recycling service center instead of spilling it in
the garbage or on the ground.
Never run the pump without an air filter or with a
damaged air filter. The dirt or dust if sucked into the
engine may quicken engine wear.
Should there be a spill of fuel, be sure to clean it
before checking the spark plug or starting the
engine. Otherwise the spilled fuel or fuel vapor may
get ignited.
1) Unscrew the wing nut and remove the air filter
cover.
2) Unscrew the wing nut and remove filter element
and foam element.
3) Separate filter element from foam element.
4) Replace the element if damaged. Replace the
paper filter element in accordance with
maintenance schedule. (Fig.17)
CAUTION
DANGER
Take care not to touch the muffler due to high
temperature on it's surface when the engine is
running or has recently stopped.
CAUTION

STORAGE
The pump does not pump water:
1. Is it filled with enough water?
2. Is the strainer clogged?
3. Is the hose clamp tightened?
4. Is the suction hose damaged?
5. Is the suction head too high?
6. If the pump still fails to work, contact an authorized
dealer.
Before storing the pump for over 14 days: (FIG. 19)
1. Make sure the storage area is free of moisture and
dust.
2. Drain out the fuel.
3. Reinstall the fuel cup and drain screw and tighten
them.
4. Replace engine oil.
5. Remove the spark plug.
6. Pour one spoon of clean engine oil (5-10 ml) into
cylinder.
7. Pull the starter cord to distribute the oil inside the
cylinder.
8). Reinstall the spark plug.
9). Pull up the starter handle until a resistance is felt. In
that case, both the inlet valve and outlet valve is
closed to prevent corrosion inside the engine.
Release the starter handle gently.
10). Cover up the pump to keep out dust.
a. Turn on the fuel valve and remove the drain screw.
Drain the fuel into a suitable container.
b. Turn off the fuel valve and drain the fuel into a
suitable container.
c. Reinstall the drain screw.
4. Is the engine switch ON?
5. Is there enough engine oil or does the oil exceed the
upper level?
6. Is the spark plug generating sparks?
7. If the engine still refuses to start, contact an
authorized dealer.
Let the pump cool down. Wait at least 30 minutes
after it stops. Clean the pump and coat with
rust-proof grease if necessary.
The cleaning water under pressure may go into air
filter and muffler, or even go into cylinder which will
result in corrosion damage.
CAUTION
Uninstall and check the spark plug, clear off the dirt from
around the plug and dry it. Fit the spark plug into the plug
cap. Replace the spark plug if necessary.
