Operation
Always check for water in the pump housing before each use.
Always run the pump with the pump housing full of water.
Running the semi-trash pump without water for an extended
period of time will damage the semi-trash pump
and void the warranty.
Priming the Pump
Before starting the engine, fill the pump with water.
1. Unthread the priming cap by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Fill the unit with clean water up to the top of the opening.
Replace the priming cap and tighten securely.
BEFORE EACH USE, CHECK THE OIL LEVEL.
Do not run the engine without engine oil, or with low engine
oil, which will permanently damage the engine.
Checking and Filling Engine Oil
1. Make sure the engine is stopped and is level.
2. Close the fuel valve.
3. Clean the top of the dipstick and the area around it. Remove
the dipstick by threading it counterclockwise, and wipe it off
with a clean lint free rag.
4. Reinsert the Dipstick without threading it in and remove it to
check the oil level. The oil level should be up to the full level.
5. If the oil level is at or below the low mark add the appropriate
type of oil until the oil level is at the proper level. SAE
10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.
6. Thread the dipstick back in clockwise.
