Preparing your Water Pump
• Your pump comes supplied without engine oil. Filling and checking the
engine oil level should always be done before use
• Place water pump on flat level ground
• Unscrew Dipstick (13) from Oil Filler Neck (16)
• Carefully pour in oil, of type and quantity in the specification
• Wait a few minutes for it to settle
• Make sure the Dipstick (13) is clean and dry, then screw it all the way
back in to the Filler Neck (16)
• Remove the Dipstick (13) again, keeping the stick pointing down, as
shown in Fig G
• The ideal level should be just below 'H'
• Top up as required to reach this level
Assembling your Water Pump
Suction hose
• You now need to connect your reinforced suction Hose (2) (not supplied)
• Make sure the hose is as short as practically possible
• Push the Hose Coupler (4) into your Hose (2) as far as it will go. (Fig B)
• Tighten the Hose Clamp (3) using a screwdriver or spanner
• Push the Water Filter (1) in to the other end of the suction Hose (2)
• Tighten another Clamp (3) around Hose (2) to secure
• Place a Rubber Seal (5) inside the Hose Coupler (4)
• Screw the hose coupler on to the Water Inlet (24) tightly, by hand
Discharge hose
• The discharge hose does not need to be reinforced
• Follow the instructions for Suction hose, but WITHOUT fitting a Filter (1)
Priming your water pump
• With the Water Filter (1) fully submerged, and the discharge hose pointing
to a suitable place, prime the pump
• Remove the cap from the Water Priming Point (26) by unscrewing it
• Fill the pump with water until it will not accept any more. (Fig. D)
• Screw the cap back onto the Water Priming Point (26)
Operating your Water Pump
• Make sure your water pump is on firm level ground, prepared and
assembled as described in this manual
Fuelling
• Always refuel in a safe place, well away from the work area, and any
source of heat or ignition. Avoid any contact with the fuel
• Only add fuel when the engine is stopped, and has cooled fully
• Remove Fuel Tank Cap (6) and fill with fuel, see specification
Starting the pump
• Set Fuel Lever (8) to ON – move it fully to the right
• Set Choke Lever (9) to ON – move it fully to the left. NOTE – choke should
only be ON if the engine is COLD
• Set Speed Control (10) to ¼ (from right to left – see sticker)
• Turn Ignition Switch (12) to ON
• CHECK the Exhaust Outlet (7) is clear of obstruction and flammable
materials. It will get hot quickly
• Firmly pull Starter Handle (14 & Fig. E) until the engine starts
• NOTE – after each pull of the Starter Handle (14) control its return. DO
NOT allow it to snap back towards the pump
• The engine will run at a fast idle, allow it to do this for 20 - 30 seconds
• CHECK that there is water coming from the discharge hose. If no water
is pumping, stop engine. Carry out priming your water pump, then restart
engine
• If water is still not pumping, prime the pump then start and INCREASE the
engine and pump speed quickly
• Slowly reduce the amount of Choke (9) by moving it from left to right
• Allow the engine to run at this speed (
1 ⁄
4
) for a few minutes to warm up,
before adjusting the Speed (10) as required
Stopping the pump
• Reduce engine speed to its lowest – move Speed Control (10) fully to
the right
• Allow engine to run at idle speed for 30 seconds
• Turn Ignition Switch (12) to OFF position
• Turn Fuel Lever (8) to OFF position – fully to the left
• Allow the pump and engine to cool fully before attempting to move, or
carrying out any cleaning and maintenance
Draining water
• Remove the Water Drain Plug (23)
• Tip forward (Fig F) and allow to drain fully
• Replace Drain Plug (23)
Draining fuel
• Only drain fuel when pump has fully cooled down
• Place a suitable container underneath the Fuel Drain Screw (17)
• Unscrew the Fuel Drain Screw (17) using a screwdriver or spanner
• Allow the fuel to drain fully into the container
• Replace the Drain Screw (17) and tighten firmly
Cleaning
• Only clean when pump has fully cooled down
• Use a mild soapy solution and a stiff brush
• Rinse with clean water
• Dry as thoroughly as possible – parts of this product will corrode if left wet
Maintenance Schedule
• Only carry out maintenance when the pump has fully cooled down
• The following is a guide. Maintenance should be adjusted according
to use and environment. Generally, the more use and the harsher the
environment, the more frequent the maintenance
- Oil change: Every 50 hours
- Spark plug: Every 150 hours
- Wash air filter: Every 150 hours
Cleaning the air filter element
• Unscrew the cap on the Air Filter Housing (11) and lift off complete
assembly
• Turn over assembly
• Remove Air Filter Retainer (19) noting which way around it faces
• Remove Filter Element (20)
• Rinse in kerosene then allow to dry
• Refit air filter by reversing this procedure
Replacing and adjusting the spark plug
• Pull the Ignition Lead (22) off of the Spark Plug (21) Fig. I
• Unscrew the Spark Plug (21) using the Socket (15) supplied
• Adjust the gap (see specification) using a feeler gauge. Clean using a
wire brush
• OR replace using a recommended spark plug (see specification)
• Replace spark plug and tighten firmly with the socket and bar
• NOTE: be careful not to cross threads or over tighten
• Refit Ignition Lead (22)
Changing the engine oil
• Start and run the engine for around 2 minutes to warm the oil, then
switch off
• Place the pump above a large oil draining bowl. Make sure the Sump
Plug (18) is above the centre
• Using a 10mm socket and long extension, undo (anticlockwise) the Sump
Plug (18)
• Allow the oil to drain fully for a minimum of 10 minutes
• Tip the pump a little to get all of the waste oil out
• Replace the Sump Plug (18) and tighten firmly with a ratchet
• To replace the oil, see
