3. Safety Precautions
WARNING
•Before starting, please check the engine (page 6) to avoid damaging the pump.
•Please do not suck combustible or corrosive liquids: such as gasoline, acid, sea
water, solution or alkaline liquid (used oil, wine, honey).
•Put the pump on a solid and horizontal surface. Gasoline may spill out if the
pump is inclined or turn over.
•In order to avoid fire, please put the pump in a ventilated place. Also, keep a
space of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from pump and wall of building and/or other
things (especially combustible).
•To avoid being scalded, please do not let children or pets go into the pump work
area.
•Operators must know how to stop the engine quickly.
PRECAUTIONS
•Gasoline is very combustible and it may explode in special conditions.
•When you need to add gasoline, please stop the engine and put the pump in a
ventilated area. Neversmoke when adding or storing gasoline.
•To prevent gasoline leakage, please twist cap of fuel tank tightly.
•Avoid gasoline splashing out. Even the gas vapors can be very combustible.
Please clean the engine before starting.
•Never start the engine indoors or in unventilated places. Carbon monoxide
displacement can cause stupor and even death.
4. Safety Mark Position
These marks point out potential dangers that can cause serious accidents. Please read
the user’s manual carefully - especially note the marked warnings and precautions
sections.

6. Preparations Before Starting
Joint Suction Hose
Use commercially available hose, connections and clips. Please be careful that
commercially available hose must be unfolded and kept to the necessary length. The
water pump will function better if it is near the water source. There is a direct ratio
between needed suction time and the length of the suction hose. The filter should be
assembled at the bottom of suction hose.
PRECAUTION
Be sure to have assembled the filter at the bottom of the suction hose before starting.
The filter can prevent material from entering into the pump and damaging parts.
Notes
•Tighten the connections and clips to avoid air leak or decreased pressure.
•Joint drain pipe
•Use commercially available hose, connections and clips. Because of the high
pressure, tighten the clips securely to avoid loss
PRECAUTION: CHECK OIL
•Be sure to add 600 ml oil for four stroke gasoline engine before starting - or
engine will be damaged.
•Oil is a main factor in keeping the engine functioning successfully. We do not
recommend using dirty oil or vegetable oil.
•When it is necessary to check the oil after using the pump, please be sure to stop
the engine first - and put the pump in a horizontal place.
•Please use the oil that we supplied or the oil according to requirements of SF,SG
•Please choose oil according to local temperature.
•Never starting engine without oil! It will seriously damage the engine.

7
PRECAUTION: CHECK FUEL
•Take fuel tank cap off and check whether fuel level is sufficient or not. Please add
enough fuel, according to requirements.
•It is better to use gasoline with Pb or with a little Pb.
•Do not use a mixture of gasoline and oil, or dirty gasoline.
WARNING
•Gasoline is very combustible - and it may explode in special conditions.
•When you need to add gasoline, please STOP the engine and put the pump in a
ventilated place. NEVER smoke in the location where you add or store gasoline.
•Please twist cap of fuel tank tightly to prevent gasoline from leaking out.
•Please prevent gasoline from splashing out. Even gas vapors can be very
combustible. Please clean the engine before starting.
•Try to avoid touching gasoline or breathing the gasoline vapors. Put the gasoline
in a location that is out of reach of children.
PRECAUTION: CHECKING AIR CLEANER FILTER
•Take off the nut, washer and cap of air filter.
•Check the filter, please clean it if it is too dirty or blocked up.
•NEVER start the engine without an air filter.
•If dust enters into the center of the engine through the carburetor, engine may
wear out quicker than normal.

8
PRECAUTION: CHECKING WATER
•Please fully add water before starting.
•NEVER start the pump before adding water. It may damage the sealing of THE
pump. Once the water is depleted, please stop the engine and add water - after
engine has cooled.
7. Starting
1. Move the fuel valve to OPEN position.
2. Move the choke lever to the CLOSE position.
Note: Do not close the choke when the temperature is very high or engine is hot.

WARNING: MAINTENANCE
Make sure to stop the engine prior to maintenance.
If you have to perform maintenance while the engine is running, please do it in a
ventilated environment. The water pump’s exhaust gas contains Carbon Dioxide, which
can cause stupor and even death.
PRECAUTION: MAINTENANCE
•If the water pump has used seawater, please draw clean water afterwards. This
will help avoid the parts from becoming corroded.
•Please use original parts for repair and maintenance.
NOTE: MAINTENANCE
•If the pump has used dirty water or is put in filthy environment, please check the
pump afterwards.

1. Renewal of Engine Oil
The engine oil shall be drained while the engine is warm.
a. Take off the oil gauge and remove the oil inlet port. Then drain the oil.
b. Assemble the oil inlet port bolt.
c. Put in the new oil, up to the level mark.
d. 0.6 L oil can be put in.
NOTE: MAINTENANCE
Please take attention to environmental protection. Do not throw the waste oil on the
ground directly.
2. Air Cleaner Inspection
a. To minimize contamination, please wash the element regularly. If the
operating environment is dirty, the element should be washed frequently.
b. Please do not use gasoline or a low burning point solution to wash the
element.
c. Do not use the water pump without air cleaner. The dust that is drawn into
the engine will increase the wear and tear of the pump.
i. Take off the screw, the cover, and the element.
ii. Wash the element by an un-combustible solution.
iii. Put the element into fresh oil and then squeeze out the oil.
iv. Assemble the element and the cover again.

14
3. Spark Plug
We recommend using NHSP LD F7TC
a. Remove the cap.
If the machine was just stopped, please be careful to avoid being scalded
by the muffler.
b. Visually inspect the plug. If it is badly damaged – or if the insulator is
cracked/broken, then please replace with a new one.
c. Adjust the electrode distance to 0.7-0.8mm.
d. Inspect the sealing, adjust it if needed.

15
PRECAUTION: SPARK PLUG
Please make sure that the plug is assembled tightly. If not, the engine may be too hot
and even damage the motor. Do not use a spark plug of poor quality.
10. Transport and Long-Term Storage
WARNING: TRANSPORT AND LONG-TERM STORAGE
•Before transport or storing the machine - to avoid fire and injury - please make
sure that the pump has cooled down.
•Before transport, put the fuel valve to the OFF position and keep the pump
horizontally. This will help avoid gas and oil from spilling out.
Storing Long Term
1. The storage environment should not be moist and dirty.
2. Clean the inner parts through using clean water and then drain the water
completely.
3. Drain the oil completely.
a. Put the fuel valve to the OFF position and then take the drain screw off
in float room. Then drain the gasoline in the carburetor.

16
b. Drain the gasoline in the fuel tank.
c. Assemble the screw in float room.
d. Renew the oil.
e. Take off the spark plug, put a spoonful of clean engine oil into cylinder.
Turn the engine several revolutions to make the oil spread evenly.
Then reinstall the spark plug.
f. Take the handle of the starter into your hand until you feel resistance.
Then pull it to the triangle mark and hole of screw in the same line. In
this position, both the inlet and outlet are closed - which is better for
avoiding rust.
g. Cover the water pump.

11. Troubleshooting
Not Able To Start
1. There may be no fuel in tank.
