100742 - 2 IN. (5 CM) SEMI-TRASH PUMP
OPERATION
Before Starting the Engine
1. Route the suction hose so that the filter is immersed
completely in the water supply source.
2. DO NOT operate pump without the filter fully immersed.
3. DO NOT operate the pump without the filter attached to the
hose.
4. Secure the suction hose to keep it from moving once the
water pump is started.
5. Route the discharge hose to the desired location. Secure the
discharge hose to keep it from moving once the water pump
is started.
6. Place the water pump on a flat, level surface.
7. Check that the oil is at the full mark on the dipstick, and that
fuel has been added to the fuel tank.
8. Review the water pump assembly and ensure fittings are
properly secured and make sure there are no kinks, cuts, or
damage to hoses.
Starting the Engine

NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump without the unit primed and suction
hose in the water. Damage to equipment resulting from failure
to follow this instruction will void warranty.
1. Make certain the water pump is on a flat, level surface.
2. Move the fuel valve to the ON position
3. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position by pulling out.

NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for 2 pulls of the recoil
starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the “RUN”
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too
much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due
to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to
start.

NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the unit
is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil
sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil
level falls below a critical threshold.
4. Move the throttle lever to the “FAST” position.
5. Press engine switch to “ON” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly.
