SAFETY INFORMATION
Exhaust fumes are poisonous
9 Using a water pump indoors CAN KILL YOU IN
MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains carbon mon-
oxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
9 NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF
doors and windows are open.
9 Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous
9 Always turn off the engine when refuelling.
9 Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an
open flame.
9 Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or
muffler when refuelling.
9 Do not leave the water pump inside the vehicle or
in the trunk.
9 If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or allow
any to get in your eye(s), see your doctor immedi-
ately. If any fuel spills on your skin or clothing,
immediately wash with soap and water and
change your clothes.
9 When operating or transporting the water pump,
be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak
from the carburetor or fuel tank.
9 Do not place any flammable materials near the
exhaust outlet during operation.
Engine and muffler may be hot
9 Place the water pump in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to touch the water
pump.

9 Do not operate the engine with a dust cover or
other objects covering it.
9 When covering the water pump, be sure to do so
only after the engine and muffler have completely
cooled down.

CONTROL FUNCTION
Oil warning light (Red)
When the oil level falls below the lower level, the oil
warning light comes on and then the engine stops
automatically. Unless you refill with oil, the engine will
not start again.
TIP
If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the engine
switch to “ON” (ON) and then pull the recoil starter. If
the oil warning light flickers for a few seconds, the
engine oil is insufficient. Add oil and restart.

Fuel cock lever
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the fuel tank to the
carburetor.
The fuel cock has two positions.
1 ON
With the lever in this position, fuel flows to the carbure-
tor. Normal using is done with the lever in this position.
2 OFF
With the lever in this position, fuel will not flow. Always
turn the lever to this position when the engine is not
running.
1Choke lever
Starting a cold engine requires a richer air-fuel mix-
ture, which is supplied by the choke lever.

PREPARATION
Fuel
WARNING
9 Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous.
Check “SAFETY INFORMATION” (See page 1)
carefully before filling.
9 Do not overfill the fuel tank, otherwise it may
overflow when the fuel warms up and expands.
9 Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
9 After fill the fuel, make sure the fuel tank cap is
tightened securely.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Place the water pump on a level surface.
3. Remove the fuel tank cap.
4. Check the fuel level.
5. If low, fill the tank with fuel.
NOTICE
9 Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
9 Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
engine parts.
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
When refueling, be sure to fill the tank up to the bot-
tom edge of the fuel tank filter.
1 Fuel level
2 Fuel tank filter
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular
unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number ((R +
M)/2) of 86 or higher, or research octane number of 91
or higher.

Water priming
Make sure the water is at pump casing upper level.
Add water as necessary.
1 Upper level
NOTICE
Be sure the pump is filled up with water before
starting the engine or mechanical seal damage will
occur.
TIP
9 Place the water pump on a secure, flat and level
surface as near to the water to be pumped as pos-
sible.
9 The higher the water pump is from the water sur-
face (more suction head), the longer it will take to
prime and the lesser pump output (discharge
head) will be.

NOTICE
Install the strainer
50 mm (2 in) suction port diameter for YP20T with
filtering perforations 20 mm (0.78 in) or less in
diameter.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK
WARNING
If any item in the Pre-operation check is not work-
ing properly, have it inspected and repaired before
operating the water pump.
The condition of a water pump is the owner’s responsi-
bility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly
and unexpectedly, even if the water pump is unused.
TIP
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the
water pump is used.

OPERATION
WARNING
Never operate the water pump in a closed area or it
may cause unconsciousness and death within a
short time. Operate the engine in a well ventilated
area.
NOTICE
The water pump has been shipped without engine
oil. Do not start the engine until you have filled it
with the sufficient engine oil.
Preparation for operation
Choose the best location for the water pump to per-
form the pumping job. Place the pump on a flat, level
surface as near as possible to the water to be pumped.
Connect the hoses properly (See page 9).
Pumping performance is affected by various factors
including the length of the hoses and the vertical
height from the water surface to the pump (suction
head) and from the pump to the end of the discharge
hose (discharge head). As the height of the pump from
the water surface increases the time necessary to
prime the pump will increase and the discharge from
the pump will decrease. Do not exceed maximum Total
head and Suction head specifications for your water
pump (See page 30).
Water priming
Before starting the engine, make sure water is at the
pump casing upper level.
Add clean water as necessary.
1 Upper level
NOTICE
Be sure the pump is filled up with water before
starting the engine or mechanical seal damage will
occur.

Drain water after use
After use, open the drain plug to drain remaining water
from the casing.

High altitude operation
This engine may require a high altitude carburetor kit
to ensure correct engine operation at altitudes above
4000 ft. (1219 meters). If you operate your engine at
altitudes above 4000 ft. (1219 meters) consistently,
have your local Yamaha dealer perform the necessary
carburetor modification. This engine should be operat-
ed in its original configuration below 4000 ft. (1219
meters) as damage may occur if high altitude carbure-
tor kit is installed and operated below 4000 ft. (1219
meters).
