1-1 Us ng Your Tsurum Operat on, Repa r and Serv ce Manual

We thank you for purchasing a Tsurumi trash pump. We are sure that the trash pump you have select-

ed will meet your portable pumping needs.

This manual applies to the Tsurumi trash pumps listed below. Specifications for the trash pumps are

provided in the SPECIFICATIONS section. Key features of the trash pump are shown in the

DESCRIPTION section.

This manual provides instructions for operation, service, and repair of your trash pump. We strongly

recommend that those who operate the trash pump become familiar with the trash pump’s features

and controls, and read the operating instructions before using the trash pump.

The Operation, Repair, and Service Manual also provides instructions to service, checkout, and repair

the trash pump. This manual also provides replacement parts information.

Repair and service information for the Honda engine is provided in the Owner’s Manual for Models

GX160, GX240, and GX340. A copy of the Owner’s Manual has been provided in the trash pump’s lit-

erature package. Parts information for the Honda Engine is available in Honda’s Parts Catalogs.

When there are differences between trash pump models, separate instructions are provided. The sepa-

rate instructions are provided to make sure the correct procedures are used on the affected trash pumps.

All information in the Tsurumi manuals is based upon the latest production configuration of the trash

pump at the time of approval for printing.

If you have a problem with your trash pump that cannot be resolved using the Operation, Repair, and

Service Manual, or if you have questions about the operation, service, repair, or maintenance of your

trash pump, contact your local Tsurumi trash pump dealer.

1-2 Precaut ons

WARNINGS indicate that there is a strong possibility of personal injury or loss of life if the procedure

is not followed, or if cleaning, lubricating, adhesives, and other materials are not used properly.

CAUTIONS indicate that there is a possibility of equipment damage if instructions are not followed.

NOTES are used in procedures to provide additional or supplemental information to make the proce-

dure easier or more efficient.

1-3 Safety Precaut ons

WARNING:

•IN ORDER TO ASSURE SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE TRASH PUMP, OPERA-

TOR’S SHOULD READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

•Do not operate the trash pump near gasol ne or gaseous fuels because of the potent al dan-

ger from explos on or f re.

•Do not f ll the fuel tank w th fuel wh le the eng ne s runn ng. Be careful not to spill fuel during

refueling. If fuel is spilled, wipe it off and let it dry before starting the engine.

•Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank.

•Do not place flammable mater als near the trash pump. Be careful not to place fuel, matches,

gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other combustibles near the trash pump.

•Do not operate the trash pump ns de a room, cave, tunnel, or other nsuff c ently vent lated

area. Always operate the trash pump in a well-ventilated area. The engine may become overheat-

ed, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human

lives.

•Keep the trash pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or bu ld ng dur ng use.

When a trash pump is located close to a building or nearby equipment, heat and exhaust from the

engine will cause the surrounding temperature to rise. This will degrade the engines cooling effi-

ciency, causing overheating.

•Do not enclose the trash pump nor cover t w th a box. The trash pump has a built-in, forced-

air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed.

•Operate the trash pump on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation

for the trash pump. However, the trash pump will vibrate on an irregular surface. Therefore, choose

a level place without surface irregularities.

•Shutoff the trash pump when mov ng the trash pump to another work s te. It the trash pump

is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or the trash pump may tip over, causing a haz-

ardous situation. Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the trash pump is operated on a steep

incline or slope. In such a case, the piston may seize; it may seize even if the oil is above the upper

level.

F gure 1: Key Features of the Trash Pump

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2-1 Operat ng Controls

A. The trash pump operating controls are located on the engine.

B. The controls consist of a throttle lever (for speed control), choke lever (for cold weather

starting), fuel shutoff lever (to prevent fuel spills), and a recoil starter (to turnover engine by

hand). (Refer to Figure 2-1.)

2-2 Check the Eng ne O l Level

CAUTION:

• ENGINE OIL IS A MAJOR FACTOR AFFECTING PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE LIFE.

NON-DETERGENT OILS AND 2-STROKE OILS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE

THEY HAVE INADEQUATE LUBRICATING CHARACTERISTICS

• CHECK THE OIL LEVEL WITH THE ENGINE ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND THE ENGINE

STOPPED.

A. The trash pump is controlled by the engine operating controls.

B. Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or use an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil cer-

tified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service

Classification SG, SF. Motor oils classified SG, SF will show this designation on the con-

tainer. SAE 10W/30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use.

C. Other viscosity grades shown in Figure 2-2 may be used when the average temperature in

your area is within the indicated range.
