1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

This machine is a centrifugal dewatering pump. The Wacker Neuson

Dewatering Pump consists of a tubular steel frame surrounding a

gasoline engine, a fuel tank, and an impeller pump with ports for water

suction and discharge. The engine rotates the impeller during

operation. Waste water is drawn into the pump through the suction

port and expelled through the discharge port. The operator connects

hoses to the pump and routes them so that water and solids are

drained from the work area and discharged into an appropriate

location.

This machine is intended to be used for general de-watering

applications. This machine is intended for the pumping of clear water,

or water containing solids up to the size stated within the product

specifications, and up to the flow, head and suction lift limits also

described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could

permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or

other persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not

covered under warranty.

The following are some examples of misuse:

• Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids

• Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation

• Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to

incorrect diameter hoses, incorrect length hoses, other inlet or

outlet restrictions, or excessive suction lift or head

• Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface

• Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment

• Operating the machine outside of factory specifications

• Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings

found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual.

This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the

latest global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to

eliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator

3.1.4 Attach component parts not already attached.

3.1.5 Add fluids as needed and applicable, including fuel, engine oil, and

battery acid.

3.1.6 Move the machine to its operating location.

3.2 Recommended Fuel

The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,

clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel

system. Consult engine owner’s manual for complete fuel

specifications.

Use of oxygenated fuels

Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol. These

gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you use

an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum

octane rating requirement.

Before using an oxygenated fuel, confirm the fuel's contents. Some

states / Provinces require this information to be posted on the fuel

pump.

The following are Wacker Neuson approved percentages of

oxygenates:

ETHANOL - (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use

gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume (commonly referred

to as E10). Gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol (such as E15,

E20, or E85) may not be used because it could damage the engine.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service

station, or switch to another brand of gasoline.

Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use

of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of

oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty.

PG 2/3 Operation

wc_tx000407gb.fm 17

3.3 Before Starting

3.3.1 Read safety instructions at the beginning of this Operator’s Manual.

3.3.2 Place pump as near to water as possible, on a firm, flat, level surface.

3.3.3 To prime pump, remove prime plug (a) and fill pump housing with

water. If the pump housing is not filled with water before starting, it will

not begin pumping.

Do not open priming plug, discharge plug, or loosen hose fittings if

pump is hot! Water or vapor inside pump may be under pressure.

3.3.4 Check for leaks between pump and engine. If water is leaking, the seal

inside pump is worn or damaged. Continued operation may cause

water damage to engine.

3.3.5 Check that hoses are securely attached to pump. Suction hose (b)

must not have any air leaks. Tighten hose clamps (c) and couplings

(d). Check that discharge hose (e) is not restricted. Lay hose out as

straight as possible. Remove any twists or sharp bends from hose

which may block the flow of water.

3.3.6 Make sure suction strainer (f) is clean and securely attached to end of

hose. The strainer is designed to protect the pump by preventing large

objects from being pulled into the pump.

NOTICE: Strainer should be positioned so it will remain completely

under water. Running the pump with the strainer above water for long

periods can damage the pump.

3.3.7 Check fuel level, engine oil level, and condition of air cleaner.

3.6 Operation

Pump should begin pumping water within a minute depending on

length of suction hose and height of pump above water. Longer hoses

will require more time.

If pump does not prime, check for loose fittings or air leak in suction

hose. Make sure strainer in water is not blocked.

Run engine at full speed while operating pump.

Do not pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic

substances. These fluids could create serious health and

environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for assistance.

3.7 Hoses and Clamps

Suction hoses (a) must be rigid enough not to collapse when pump is

operating.

Discharge hoses (b) are usually thin-walled collapsible hoses. Rigid

hoses similar to those used as suction hoses may also be used as

discharge hoses.

Note: Suction and discharge hoses are available from Wacker

Neuson. Contact your nearest dealer for more information.

Two clamps (c) are recommended for connection of suction hoses to

inlet coupling.

Note: This connection is important. Even a small air leak on the suction

side of pump will prevent the pump from priming.

For other hose connections, one T-bolt or worm-gear-type clamp is

usually sufficient to hold hoses in place. In some cases, slight

variances in hose diameters may make it necessary to add more

clamps in order to maintain tight connections.
