OPERATING YOUR QTAC  

Before Starting Up Your QTAC  

•  Always wear appropriate eye, ear, and body protection when operating your 

QTAC unit.  

•  Ensure that your QTAC has sufficient water in the water tank prior to operation. 

The water level can be checked by viewing the water tank site gauge located on 
the side of the water tank (

Figure 1

) If the water tank is low on water, open the 

water tank fill tower (

Figure 1

) and fill the water tank with water.  

•  Check the pump engine fuel (

Figure 3

) and oil levels (

Figure 3

) as needed, fill the 

pump engine with fuel and oil as specified in the engine manual that came with 
your QTAC. For more information, see the Pump Operation Manual and the 
Engine Owner’s Manual.  

 

PUMP OPERATION 

Priming the Pump after an Extended Period of Use 

The QTAC pumps are a self-priming pump, meaning they do not need to be primed 

before every use. However, if the pump is being started after not being in use for more 
than 12 hours, it may be necessary to add water to the primer port (

Figure 2)

 to ensure 

proper suction. To do so, simply pour water into the primer port until it is full, secure the 
cap and start the engine. 

Tank Fill Requirements: 

MAX FILL PRESSURE: 100 PSI 
MAX FILL RATE: 150 GPM
