Know what the controls do and how to operate them. Familiarize yourself with the pump and its operation before you begin using it. Know how to quickly shut off the engine in case of an emergency.
PAGE 6
Pump Priming Agricultural Chemicals Remove the priming filler cap and completely fill the pump chamber with water before starting the engine. Replace the priming filler cap. NOTICE Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. • Ensure the pump chamber is full of liquid and the suction hose strainer is submerged in the liquid to be pumped. • If the unit has been operated dry, stop the engine immediately and allow the pump to cool before adding priming liquid.
PAGE 7
Check the Engine Oil Level Add Fuel Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position. This engine is certified to operate on regular gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. 1. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10% ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by volume.
PAGE 8
Pump Operation OPERATION Do not use for pumping liquids for human consumption. For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage. Your pumps exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.  WARNING Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can build up to dangerous levels in closed areas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness or death.

SERVICING YOUR PUMP Maintenance Schedule Interval1 Proper maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It also helps reduce air pollution. Page Before each use Engine oil: Check level Air filter: Check Pump hoses and strainer: Check page 7 page 11 page 5 Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
PAGE 11
Oil Change Air Filter Change the oil after the first 20 hours of use. Thereafter, change the oil every 100 hours of use. Change the oil more often when used in dusty areas. Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely. 1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil. 2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, drain plug, and sealing washer. 3. Reinstall the drain plug and new sealing washer. Tighten the plug to the following torque.
PAGE 12
Spark Plug Cleaning A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If you operate the pump in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (page 10). Paper filter: 1. Tap the element lightly several times on a hard surface to remove excess dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa)] through the filter element from the inside out. 2. Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirty or damaged.
PAGE 13
Spark Arrester (optional part) The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it functioning as designed. TRANSPORTING Your pump engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations. An optional USDA approved spark arrester is available from an authorized Honda servicing dealer. See page 20 for part numbers.
PAGE 14
4. Reinstall the spark plug and then pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt, and then return the starter grip gently. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine cylinder. STORAGE Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your pump trouble free and looking good.

TROUBLESHOOTING Engine Will Not Start Possible Cause Correction Pump Will Not Pump Possible Cause Correction Strainer clogged Clear strainer (page 5). Suction hose clamps loose TIghten hose clamps (page 5). Suction hose sealing washer not installed Install suction hose sealing washer (page 5). Suction head is too high Locate pump at appropriate level (page 17). Ignition switch OFF Turn the ignition switch ON (page 9). Fuel valve OFF Turn the fuel valve ON (page 9).
PAGE 16
High Altitude Operation Emission Control System At high altitudes, 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 differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions. Source of Emissions High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor.
PAGE 17
Air Index Maintenance An Air Index Information hang tag/label is applied to engines certified to an emission durability time period in accordance with the requirements of the California Air Resources Board. The bar graph is intended to provide you, our customer, the ability to compare the emissions performance of available engines. The lower the Air Index, the less pollution. The durability description is intended to provide you with information relating the engine’s emission durability period.
PAGE 18
FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE When maintained properly, your Honda pump should provide years of trouble-free operation. This includes the fuel system. However, gasoline can quickly deteriorate, causing starting or running problems and, in some cases, damage to the fuel system. Most fuel-related problems can be avoided by following the precautions listed below. Fuel system damage and engine performance problems resulting from deteriorated fuel are not covered by the Distributor’s Limited Warranty (see page 20).
