QP3TK TRASH PUMP • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (07/28/17) — PAGE 19
OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING
1. Clean the unit, removing dirt and dust, particularly the
engine cooling air inlet, and air filter.
2. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty,
replace air filter with a new one as required.
3. Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness.
4. The QP3TK utilizes a battery for electric start
operations. Check the security, connections, and
integrity of the battery. The battery tray measures 10” x
7” x 12” and will accept any quality 12V “C” post 12N24-
3A type battery (ex. Interstate, YUASA, and Champion).
CAUTION
DO NOT
attempt to operate the pump until the Safety,
General Information and Inspection sections of this
manual have been
read and thoroughly understood
.
CAUTION
DO NOT pump flammable fluids, corrosive chemicals or
fluids containing toxic substances. These fluids can create
potentially dangerous health and environmental hazards.
Contact local authorities for assistance.
CAUTION
This pump uses a water-cooled
mechanical
seal
to
prevent water from seeping into the engine. The passage
of water through the pump casing lubricates the seal and
prevents it from overheating.
NEVER
operate the pump
without water in the casing as this will cause damage to
the mechanical seal.
