Before operating or installing 

this pump, read this manual and 

follow all safety warnings and 

operating instructions. 

safety warnings

application

Use this pump for water only, where the vertical suction head from 

the water level is 25 ft. (8m) or less. Head refers to the height of a 

column of water that can be delivered by the discharge of the pump 

(Figure 1). Suction head (or suction lift) is the vertical distance between 

the center of the pump and the surface of the liquid on the suction 

side of the pump. Discharge head is the vertical distance between 

the pump's discharge port and the point of discharge. Total head is 

the sum of the suction head and the discharge head. The elevation 

above sea level and friction losses must be taken into consideration. 

caution:

 

do not operate this pump dry.

 

water is required to 

lubricate pump seal. 

This pump has been tested and operated under 

actual working conditions. Engine, pump, and all accessories were 

found satisfactory. If the pump is not performing as specified, check 

inSTallaTion and TroUblESHooTing sections carefully. 

installation

a)

 

location:

 For permanent installation, put the pump in a clean, 

dry, and ventilated place (Figure 1).

 

Keep the suction line as short as possible. 

This will allow the 

pump to operate at maximum performance and to ensure that 

the casing does not overheat due to the absence of water.

b)

 

mounting:

 Mount the pump on a rigid foundation to eliminate 

creeping due to vibration.

c)

 

suction line:

 Use a suction line the same size as the suction 

on the pump. if the suction pipe is long, increase it by one size 

to improve flow. Slope the suction line upwards to the pump to 

avoid air pockets in the line and hard priming. 

d)

 

suction pipe:

 Use thread compound on all pipe joints. Connec-

tions must be tight, and pipe should be clean and uncorroded.

e)

 

suction hose:

 if the suction line runs generally vertical, use 

an elbow on the hose to prevent kinking. Use double clamps on 

all hose joints. Connections must be tight, and a suction strainer 

is required to filter abrasive material.

note: 

  if you use the pump for dewatering, attach a suction 

screen to the suction line.

note:

   The main cause of pumping problems is a leak in the 

suction line. Even a tiny leak reduces priming and 

pumping greatly.

 WARNING: 

Carefully read the safety messages in this manual 

and on the pump. Keep this manual with the pump at all times.

 

ATTENTION: RENTAl cOmpANIEs ANd pRIvATE 

OWNERs WhO RENT OR lENd ThIs WATER pump TO

 WARNING: 

When running, the engine on this pump produces 

carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing 
carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death.
•  Operate this pump ONLY outdoors. 
•  Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through 

windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.

•  Do not operate the pump inside any building, confined area, 

or enclosure such as basements, garages, or similar locations, 
even if doors and windows are open

•  Make sure all connections are tight.
•  Never use with flammable fluids.
•  Turn off engine before servicing.
•  If fuel is spilled, avoid creating any source of ignition until the 

fuel vapors have been cleaned up and removed.

•  Review instructions before operating.
•  Wear ear protection to reduce objectionable noise.
