Priming the Pump Cont’d.
OPERATION
Located on the outlet flange is the priming plug. Remove
the priming plug and fill pump body to the very top of
outlet flange with water. Reinstall the priming plug. As
the engine starts up, this will start the draw of liquid
into the pump. Located within the pump assembly is the
one-way valve. As you prime the pump housing this one-
way flap valve shuts off the opening to the suction hose.
The priming process is only required when the pump
housing is not full of water.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the semi-trash pump is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Flip engine switch (A) to “ON” position.
3. Rotate the fuel valve (B) to the “ON” position.
4. Move the choke lever (C) to the “Choke” position.
5. Move throttle lever to middle position. (D)
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly.
7. As engine warms up, move the choke lever (C) to
“Run”.
8. Move the throttle lever (D) to the “Fast” position.

Ensure the priming plug is secure before pump
operation, if not secure the priming plug could be
ejected and water or other liquids could be pumped
through the top of the outlet flange.
NOTICE
Starting the Engine Cont’d.
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the semi-trash pump 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.
NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for 2 pulls of
the recoil starter. After 2 pulls, 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
Pump performance can be adjusted using the
throttle. To decrease pump output, slide the throttle
to the right. To increase it, slide the throttle to the
left.
NOTICE
DO NOT remove either top, or drain (bottom) plugs
while the semi-trash pump is on and running.
Loss of pressure and suction will occur. Injury may
also occur.
WARNING
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
3. Move the throttle lever to slow position.
4. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the
Engine Switch are in the “OFF” position when the
engine is not in use.
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2)
weeks or longer, please see the Storage section for
proper engine and fuel storage.
