Pump Drive Mechanism
We recommend
that the bearings
and slide rail be lubricated after every
50 hours of operation. However, if
pumping is conducted in extreme heat
or dusty conditions, additional greasing
may be necessary. Use a standard
grease lubricant for all bearings in the
drive mechanism.Access to the grease nipple for the slide rail mech-
anism is attained by removing the two bolts on the cover at the
rear of the slide rail housing.To help minimize friction, grease should
also be applied directly to the section of the reciprocating post
which slides through the bushing guide.
We also recommend
that, after every 100 hours of use, all bolts
be checked, especially those fastening the major pump components
to the pump frame.
Assembly & Operation

Starting the PowerPump 2
—
Before starting the engine, ensure that
the pump is properly installed on the
well and the tubing firmly clamped to
the pump.We recommend that you
carefully examine the quick release
clamp to ensure that the up and down
stroking motion will not result in a col-
lision between pump components and
the well casing.
Follow the procedures
outlined in
the Honda Owner's Manual for starting
the engine.The clutch is a centrifugal
clutch and therefore will not engage until the engine output revolu-
tions are sufficiently high enough. Do not start the pump with the
throttle at its maximum posi-
tion. Once the engine is run-
ning smoothly, the pump is
started by increasing the throt-
tle and thus engaging the
clutch. Once running, the
throttle can be adjusted to
provide the desired stroke
rate.At any time during the
operation of the pump, pump-
ing can be stopped by decreas-
ing the throttle or switching
the pump off.
