OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The gas engine is shipped without oil
in it. Do not operate the gas engine until it has
been
fi
lled with oil. Consult the engine owner's
manual for oil speci
fi
cations and maintenance
procedures.
NOTE: To avoid premature pump seal failure,
NEVER run the pump dry. Prime and
fi
ll the pump
with the
fl
uid being pumped before starting the
unit.
• Ensure that hose and pipe connections are air
tight. An air leak will reduce pump capacity and
may prevent priming.
• Place the pump and engine on a level foundation,
positioned as close to the liquid tank as possible.
• Keep the suction line short and position it with few
bends.
• Install a pump strainer on the suction line when
pumping dirty water or liquids that contain solids.
CAUTION
Read the engine manufacturer's manual
before operating the Gas Engine Transfer
Pump.
