INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your selection of a Honda multi-purpose pump! We are certain you will be pleased with your purchase of one of the finest pumps on the market. OWNER’S MANUAL WMP20X We want to help you get the best results from your new pump and to operate it safely. This manual contains the information on how to do that; please read it carefully.

PUMP SAFETY This chapter explains what you need to know to operate your pump safely. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Most injuries or property damage can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the pump. The most common hazards are discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others. Keep Shields in Place Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hurt by hot or moving parts.
PAGE 3
UNPACK YOUR NEW PUMP After assembly and before operation, review the SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS on page 5. LOOSE PARTS Contact your authorized Honda servicing dealer if any of the loose parts shown are not included with your pump. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER ASSEMBLY Ref. No Proper assembly is essential to operator safety and the reliability of the machine.

CONTROL LOCATIONS BEFORE OPERATION Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of injury. THROTTLE LEVER (p. 7) PRIMING FILLER CAP (p. 5) Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to operate them.

PAGE 5
OPERATION SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS Before operating the pump for the first time, please review IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (page 2) and BEFORE OPERATION (page 4). For your safety, do not start or operate the engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage. Your engine’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death. Tighten the hose clamp to prevent the hose from disconnecting under high pressure.
PAGE 6
APPROVED LIQUIDS PUMP PERFORMANCE The following tables list chemicals the multi-purpose pump is capable of pumping. Verify that the liquid to be pumped is listed in one of these tables. After each use, drain the pump chamber into a suitable container and flush with fresh water. DO NOT PUMP LIQUIDS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. The maximum pump discharge capacity is determined when pumping clear water at 0 ft (0 meters) total head and at sea level.

SERVICING YOUR PUMP Proper maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution. B WARNING Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. • To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts.
PAGE 9
REFUELING ENGINE OIL Honda recommends using a No-Spill® gas can, which meets the demanding requirements of the California Air Resources Board (page 17). Oil Recommendations This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. We recommend refueling after each use to minimize the air present in the fuel tank. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool first.
PAGE 10
Oil Change NOTICE Drain the oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely. Remember to always fill the pump housing with water prior to starting the engine. Running the pump dry will result in damage to the pump seal. Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by the DISTRIBUTOR'S LIMITED WARRANTY. 1.
PAGE 11
SPARK PLUG SPARK ARRESTER (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT) Recommended Spark Plug: NGK - BPR6ES 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 17 for part numbers. NOTICE Incorrect spark plugs can cause engine damage.
PAGE 12
TRANSPORTING STORAGE BEFORE LOADING STORAGE PREPARATION When transporting the pump, be sure to keep it upright. If the pump is tilted or overturned, fuel may spill from the tank, which can result in a fire hazard. Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your pump trouble-free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your pump’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use the pump again.
PAGE 13
Fuel B WARNING NOTICE Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel formulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the carburetor and/or fuel system. Please check with your servicing dealer for local storage recommendations. Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system.
PAGE 14
TECHNICAL INFORMATION REMOVAL FROM STORAGE Check your pump as described in BEFORE OPERATION (page 4). If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting. SERIAL NUMBER LOCATIONS If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
PAGE 15
CARBURETOR MODIFICATION FOR HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION 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 differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor.
