Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 9

1. Hose Coupler – A barbed hose coupler is placed over the inlet or discharge

port (Fig. 2-4) and fixed into place by a hose ring (Fig. 2-3) that screws

into place. A hose end is then

fitted over the barbed coupler

(Fig. 2-1) and fixed into place

using hose clamps (Fig. 2-2).

Tighten hose clamp securely

using a standard 1/4 in. (6 mm)

screwdriver. Rubber seals are

required.

2. Threaded Connection – The

intake and discharge ports have

male threads. Commercial hoses

will have a compatible female

thread. A rubber seal will be

required to prevent leaks.

3. Cam-lock Adapter – An adapter is

fitted to the pump’s intake or

discharge port (Fig.3-1). The

hose has the complementary

adapter with two cam-lock levers

(Fig. 3-2). The hose adapter is

fitted over the pump adapter and

the cam-lock levers (Fig. 3-3) are pushed down to lock the adapters

together.

SUCTION HOSE SETUP

1. Connect a non-collapsible

suction hose to the pump’s

inlet. This hose should be no

DISCHARGE HOSE SETUP

A discharge hose is optional, as the pumping force will propel the water away.

However, the discharge is uncontrolled. Adding a discharge hose will guide the

water to a specific location. The hose diameter must be larger than the pump’s

discharge port size.

1. Connect a hose to the pump’s

outlet (C). See Specifications

for the Max. Discharge Head

hose length.

2. Fix the end of the discharge

hose to prevent it from moving

around due to the force of the discharge.

OPERATION

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

NOTICE! The engine is not shipped with oil. Before starting the engine, add

oil according to the instructions in this manual. Starting the engine without

oil will damage the engine beyond repair.

Check the engine’s condition before operating to maximize the user’s safety and

the service life of the engine. Ensure that the engine is level and the switch is in

the OFF position before beginning the pre-operation checks.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING! Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area, even if the doors

or windows are open. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (see Carbon

Monoxide Precautions).

1. Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air filter are in place and secured.

2. Ensure the spark plug lead is securely connected to the spark plug, otherwise

unintentional sparking can result, causing a fire or electric shock.

3. Check the air filter (E). A dirty air filter will reduce engine performance.

4. Check that all protective covers and guards are in place.

5. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.

6. Check the fuel level.

7. Check the engine oil level. Running the engine without enough oil can

damage the engine.

8. Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.

a. Do not start the engine until any spilled fuel has evaporated.

9. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler and

recoil starter (F).

10. Look for signs of damage.

11. Check the equipment powered by this engine.

AIR FILTER

Dismantle the air filter cover and check its element to make sure it is clean and

in good operation. Clean or replace as necessary.

CAUTION! Never run the engine without an air filter or severe engine wear

may result.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

1. Remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level.

2. If the level is too low, refuel the tank (see Care & Maintenance – How to

Add Fuel)

HEAD RANGE FOR PUMP

Head is defined as the amount of water the pump will discharge through the

hose at a vertical height. The amount of water (flow) decreases as the discharge

height is increased. The length, type and size of the suction and discharge

hoses can also significantly affect pump output.

Suction head or Suction Lift is the vertical distance between the center of the

pump and the end of the suction hose. The maximum lift is 26 feet due to water

pressure (a jet pump is required for additional depth).

The dynamic head is a combination of the Head and Suction Head when the

pump is set up. The maximum height difference cannot exceed 82 feet. If the

suction lift is 12 feet, the maximum head is 70 feet.

The suction lift hose should be as short as possible to increase pump efficiency and

reduce priming time. The suction set up should not exceed the discharge set up.

8509978 2 in. Gas Water Pump V4.1

12 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

IMMERSE STRAINER BASKET

The strainer basket must be fully immersed into the water source to ensure that air is

not introduced into the pump. Place the strainer basket at a sufficient depth that the

pumping system will not drain enough water to uncover the strainer basket.

To keep silt or sand from the bottom of a

lake, river or ditch from entering the suction

hose, anchor the strainer basket on a solid

surface such as group of rocks, or place it

in a bucket sitting on the bottom.

STARTING THE PUMP

PRIME THE PUMP

CAUTION! Do not touch an operating engine. They are designed to operate at

high temperatures and may inflict a burn injury.

IMPORTANT! Pump must be primed. Make sure pump is full of water before

running. Failure to do so will damage to the pump.

1. Remove priming plug from top

of pump.

2. Fill pump with clean, clear water up

to top of discharge outlet.

3. Replace priming plug.

START THE ENGINE

WARNING! Failure to follow the steps below will result in rapid retraction of

the starter cord faster than the user can let go. This will pull the user’s

hand and arm toward the engine, possibly resulting in serious injury.

1. Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air filter are in place. Do not crank

engine with spark plug removed.

2. Move the fuel valve lever to

the ON position (Fig. 9-1).

When the valve lever is in the

ON position, fuel is allowed to

flow from the fuel tank to the

carburetor.

3. Push the switch to the ON

position (Fig. 10-1).

4. Move the throttle lever to the

FAST position (Fig. 10-2).

5. Move the choke lever to the

CLOSED position (Fig. 11-1).

The choke is used to provide an

enriched fuel mixture when

starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke lever

manually. The choke is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.

6. Pull Start

a. Pull the recoil starter handle lightly until you feel resistance.

b. Pull the recoil starter handle briskly as soon as resistance is felt.

c. Do not allow the recoil starter handle to snap back against the engine.

7. The engine should turn over and start running. If engine floods, set the

choke lever to the OPEN position, place the throttle in FAST and crank until

engine starts.

8. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the engine,

gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.

Occasionally you may hear a light ‘spark knock’ or ‘pinging’ (metallic rapping

noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.

Should the spark knock or pinging continue to occur, when the engine speed is

steady under a normal load, consider replacing the fuel. If the sounds continue

after changing the fuel, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for a solution or see a

qualified technician.

NOTICE! Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can

cause engine damage.

STOPPING THE WATER PUMP

ENGINE OIL

NOTICE! Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and

service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage a 4-stroke

engine and are not recommended.

High-quality detergent engine oils are acceptable if the (API) performance rating

is SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Always check the API service label on the oil

container for the performance rating.

1. Check the oil level before each use

with a cool engine that is level.

2. Use 4-stroke engine oil that meets

or exceeds the requirements for

API (American Petroleum

Institute) service classification SF.

Always check the API Service label

on the oil container to be sure it

includes the letters SF.

3. Do not use special additives.

4. SAE 15W-40 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other

viscosities shown on the chart may be used when the average temperature

in your area is within the indicated range (Fig. 12).

5. Above 27°C (80°F), using 15W-40 oil may increase oil consumption. Check

the oil level more often.

6. Below 4°C (40°F), using SAE 30 oil will cause hard starting.

Fig. 12

OIL LEVEL CHECK

1. Remove the dipstick and clean it.

2. Reinsert the dipstick into the oil filling hole without screwing it in, remove

the dipstick and check the oil level.

3. No oil on the dipstick indicates the oil level is too low. Add the recommended

engine oil up to the oil filling neck.

4. Reinstall the dipstick.

DRAIN AND FLUSH WATER PUMP

1. Disconnect and drain the suction and discharge hoses.

2. Remove the drain plug at pump’s bottom (Fig. 14).

3. Remove the primer plug from top of pump and flush the pump’s internal

components with clean water (Fig. 15).

4. Replace both plugs and finger tighten.

HOW TO ADD FUEL

DANGER! Fuel is very flammable. Use extreme care when handling or storing

fuel. An ignition source contacting the fumes or fuel may result in a fire or

explosion and cause fatal or serious injuries to you or a bystander.

1. Refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area and immediately wipe up spills.

Fuel can damage paint and plastic.

Fig. 14

Fig. 15

Fig. 13

V4.1 2 in. Gas Water Pump 8509978

Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 17

2. Stop the engine and position equipment on a level surface.

3. Let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.

4. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Do not allow dirt or water to

enter the fuel tank.

5. Remove the fuel cap slowly to allow the pressure to equalize.

6. Check the fuel level.

7. Add fuel until it reaches the bottom of the fuel level limit marked in the fuel

tank. Take care to not overfill the tank. It may be necessary to lower the

fuel level depending on operating conditions (Fig. 16-1).

8. Reinsert the fuel tank cap and tighten.

9. Wipe up any spilled fuel

before starting the engine

or allow to evaporate.

Spilled fuel is both a fire

hazard and an

environmental hazard.

Dispose of the fuel soaked

rags in a proper hazardous

waste container.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

At high altitude, the standard air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will

decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul

the spark plug and cause hard starting. High altitude performance can be

improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your

engine at altitudes above 1,000 meters, have a qualified service technician

perform the necessary modifications.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will

be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature

operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more

frequent service.
