2. Connect Suction Hose (Mandatory)

Attach Suction Hose by connecting camlocks. It is vital that the

connections are air tight. If suction hose has any air leaks it will

prevent proper priming of pump.

13

Pump Operation and set up

When setting up your pump, it is important to understand it’s lift

capacity. Lift capacity is categorized into three dierent sections.

(as shown on page 14)

Suction lift is the vertical distance from the liquid source to the pump

inlet. Due to the weight of water this can be no more than 26ft. As

such, the standard suction hose is 25ft in length. The shorter the

suction lift distance, the faster the machine will prime and the better it’s

performance. Discharge lift is the vertical distance between the pump’s

discharge port to the end of the discharge hose. This distance will vary

depending on the size, and power of the machine.

Total lift is the sum of the suction lift, and the discharge lift. This is

the total vertical lift capacity of the machine from water source to

discharge point. As total lift increases, the output ow rate of the water

decreases.

Keep in mind, “Lift” denes the vertical lifting capacity. If the liquid is

being moved horizontally, then the pump can move it a much greater

distance (in this event, always add hose length to the discharge side,

never the suction side.)

*Please note, in some instances the word “head” can be used to refer

to “lift”.

Move Water Pump to Safe Operating Location

For best pump performance, locate the pump on a at, level surface

as close as possible to the water to be pumped. Secure water pump to

avoid tip-over. Use hoses that are no longer than necessary.

IMPORTANT: Direct open end of discharge hose away from home,

electrical devices or anything not desired to get wet.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely ammable and

explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

• This water pump is not for use in mobile equipment or marine

applications

• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.

• Secure water pump. Loads from hoses may cause tip over.

OPERATION

Placing Strainer Basket Into Water Source

Place strainer basket into water to be pumped. Basket must be fully

immersed.

NOTICE

Improper treatment of water pump can damage it and shorten its life.

• NEVER operate pump without strainer connected to end of

suction hose.

• Keep strainer out of sand or silt, place in bucket or on stones.

• DO NOT let pump run dry or damage to seals may result.

15

Prime the Water 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, ensuring that the seal is tight.

During priming process water will slowly move up suction hose. Op-

erator may need to continue to add water into pump to keep prime.

Once water from suction hose reaches the pump, it will run normally

and transfer water at high volume. It is essential the operator ensures

this process is complete to prevent failure of prime or damage to

pump.

NOTICE

Improper treatment of water pump can damage it and shorten its life.

• Be sure chamber is lled with water before starting the engine.

• NEVER run pump without priming

OPERATION

16

Starting the Water Pump

Use the following start instructions:

Must ensure pump is primed, and suction hose is in water

source before turning on engine. (see page 14 for instructions)

1. Fill Engine with Oil, SAE 10W30

2. Make sure unit is on a at, level surface and pump chamber is

primed.

3. Turn fuel valve (1) to “On” position. The fuel valve handle will be

vertical (pointing toward the ground).

4. Push on/o switch (2) to “On” position.

5. Move engine speed lever (3) to “Fast” ( ) position.

7. Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt.

result.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and

then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

STARTING THE WATER PUMP

ATTENTION

*Always check the engine oil level and quality before starting. If

the engine oil is too low or of poor quality, the engine may not be

properly lubricated and suer damage. Engines equipped with an

automatic low oil shutdown will not start if the oil level is too low.

**NOTE: Model WP-2065HL will require more frequent oil checks to

ensure oil quality if unit operates under low power conditions.

17

IMPORTANT: If excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel mixture caus-

ing a “ooded” condition, move choke lever to “Run” position and pull

handle repeatedly until engine starts.

8. Move choke lever to “Run” position a short distance at a time over

several seconds in warm weather or minutes in cold weather. Let

engine run smoothly before each change. Operate with choke in

“Run” position.

HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT KIT

WARNING

To prevent serious injury from re: Follow the kit procedures in

a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. If the engine

is hot from use, shut the engine o and wait for it to cool before

proceeding.

NOTICE

The warranty may be void if necessary adjustments are not made

for high altitude use.

HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT KIT FOR EPAIII ENGINES

3000ft to 6000ft or 6000ft to 8000ft of elevation

• At high altitude, the standard carburetor 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.

Operation at an altitude that diers from that at which this engine was

certied, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.

• The fuel system on this Engine or Equipment may be inuenced

by operation at higher altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured

by installing an altitude kit when required. See the table below to

determine when an altitude kit is required. Operating this generator

without the proper altitude kit installed may increase the engine’s

emissions and decrease fuel economy and performance. Kits may

be obtained from any Dealer, and should be installed by a qualied

individual.

• Engine, Generator Set, Pressure Washer, Walk-Behind Lawnmower,

Compressor, Pump, Tiller etc.

** Elevation above sea level.

• This high altitude jet is to be used at elevations above 3000 feet.

• At elevations above 8000 feet, the engine may experience

decreased performance, even with the high altitude kit.

If a carburetor is replaced, the proper high altitude kit jet will need to be

installed into the replacement carburetor.
