engine shut o. Never smoke near gasoline and keep other ames and sparks away. Clean any spilled fuel prior to starng
engine.
Hot Exhaust
The muer becomes very hot during operaon and remains hot for a while aer stopping the engine. Do not touch the

Before Operaon
Read and understand this manual; know what the controls do and how to operate them. Familiarize yourself
with the pump and its operaon before you begin pumping water.
For your safety and to maximize the service life of your Pump it is very important to take a few moments before
operaon to check its condion.
• Look around and underneath the pump for signs of oil or gasoline leaks
• Remove any excessive dirt or debris
• Look for any signs of damage
• Check that all nuts, bolts, screws, Hose connecons and Clamps are ght
• Check condion of Hoses
• Check that the Strainer is in good condion
Before Starng Pump
• Check engine oil level. Low oil level can cause engine damage.
• Check air lter. Restricve/dirty air lter will reduce pump performance.
• Check fuel level. Full tank will reduce interrupons during operaon.
Pump Placement
For best Pump performance, place the
pump near the water level and use hoses
that are no longer than necessary.
As pumping height (head) increases the
pump output decreases. The length, type,
and size of the hoses can also aect pump
output.
WARNING
Improperly maintained pump could cause
a malfunction in which you could be
seriously injured. Always perform an
inspection before operation.

Sucon Hose Installaon
Use the Hose, Hose Adapter, Clamp, and seal provided with
the Pump. The Sucon Hose must be reinforced with a non-
collapsible wall or braided wire construcon to prevent Sucon
Hose collapse.
The Sucon Hose should be no longer than necessary as the
Pump performance is best when the Pump is near the water level
and hoses are short.
Never use a Sucon Hose with an inside diameter less than 1”.
Use provided Hose Clamp to securely fasten the Hose Adapters
to the Hose in order to prevent air leakage and loss of sucon.
Verify that the seal is in good condion and replace as necessary.
Aach Hose with small O-Ring Seal to the Pump’s Inlet port.
Install provided Strainer on the other end of the Sucon Hose
and secure it with a Clamp. The Strainer will help to prevent the
Pump from becoming clogged or damaged by debris. Do not
operate the Pump without the Strainer as it could damage the
Pump.
Tighten the Hose Adapter to the pump sucon port.
