SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read This Manual Before Operating This manual contains important safety information and instructions. Do not operate this product until you have read and completely understand all safety, operation, and maintenance instructions listed in this manual. Failure to follow the information listed in this manual before operation will result in property damage, injury, and/or death.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING This product and the engine exhaust can expose you to chemicals which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information on California Proposition 65, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBON WARNING The air filter element and air box assembly may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Some PAHs may cause cancer.
ABOUT THE CHEMCIAL PUMP The SIMPSON Chemical Pump was designed for everyday pumping of irrigation water, outdoor standing water (clean, not dirty) and general agricultural/farming pumping of liquid fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides that have a PH range of 4 to 11. NEVER use the chemical pump with flammable liquids or corrosive chemicals.
COMPONENT LOCATION 14 1 4 2 3 13 11 1). Primer port 8). Fuel switch 2). Discharge port 9). Engine choke 3). Suction port 10). Throttle lever 4). Engine ignition switch 11). Pump drain plug 5). Starter recoil 12). Spark plug 6). Fuel tank 13). Suction barb 7). Fuel tank cap 14).
OPERATING CHECKLIST Location Place the pump on a level surface outside in a well-ventilated area before any operation. Keep all flammable materials at least five feet away from all sides of the product. ● Never use pump inside a house, garage, or any other kind of enclosure even if doors and windows are open. Run engine outside at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from windows, doors, and vents. Carefully consider wind direction and air currents when using pump outside to avoid breathing in engine exhaust.
High Altitude Operation This engine will have proper engine performance and emission control when it is operated at or below an altitude of 5000 feet (1524 meters). This engine requires a high-altitude carburetor kit to ensure proper engine performance and emission control when operated at altitudes above 5000 feet (1524 meters). Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration above 5000 feet (1524 meters) may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency, and hurt performance.
HOT SURFACES A running engine produces heat. The surfaces of the engine, other related components, and engine exhaust gas get hot enough to cause moderate burns or ignite materials on contact. To avoid burns, do not touch engine surfaces or exhaust gases while operating and allow engine to cool completely before moving, touching, or performing any maintenance. To avoid a fire, keep all flammable materials at least five feet away from all sides of the product.
FILL ENGINE OIL BEFORE USE The engine is shipped from the factory without oil. Running the engine without oil will result in severe engine damage and void the warranty. To avoid causing engine damage and voiding the warranty, fill the engine with the recommended oil type. USE CORRECT ENGINE OIL Oil is a major factor in the performance and service life of any engine. Using the incorrect oil may damage the engine and void the warranty.
Checking Fuel REFUELING Gasoline is highly flammable and gasoline vapors are extremely explosive. Fire and explosions can cause severe burns and/or death. Keep gasoline away from flames, sparks, and other ignition sources. Refuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped and cool. Wipe up any spilled gasoline and allow engine to dry before starting. Keep a fire extinguisher handy while refueling. Do not operate engine with leaks in the fuel system.
GASOLINE STORAGE It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (also called gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel and gum deposits can damage the engine’s fuel system while in storage. Effects of old, stale, or contaminated fuel are not covered under warranty.
CONNECTING HOSES The suction and discharge hoses are not included. Assemble them as per the manufacturer instructions. Make sure all connections are sealed properly. Air leaks may cause the pump to lose prime and not pump at full efficiency. Hose Placement 1. Place the pump on a level surface. 2. Completely immerse strainer but do not rest it on the bottom of the water source. 3. Do not exceed the maximum suction head and total head lifts as listed in the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
PRIMING THE PUMP PUMP PRIMING This pump will not prime when dry. Running the pump dry without priming can damage the pump assembly and seals. Damage caused by running dry is not covered under warranty. To avoid damaging the seals and pump assembly, do not run the pump when it is dry without priming. Priming the pump 1. Remove primer funnel cover. 2. Carefully fill the pump with the chemical you will be pumping. 1 2 1. Primer cover 2.
STARTING Starting the Engine 1. Complete the steps in the OPERATING CHECKLIST, CONNECTING HOSES, and PRIMING THE PUMP sections of this manual before starting the engine. Failure to do so could damage your engine and pump. OPERATING CHECKLIST Attempting to start the engine incorrectly or using the pump incorrectly can result in engine and/or pump damage, and may cause serious injury or death.
5. Pull the recoil until you feel some resistance, then pull rapidly to start the engine. RAPID RETRACTION Rapid retraction (also known as kickback) of the engine recoil starter cord will pull your hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go of the handle resulting in sprains, broken bones, lacerations, and/or traumatic amputations. Kickback is caused by damage to the engine crankshaft key, compression release failure, and/or improper starting techniques.
MAINTENANCE For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends all pump service and repairs be performed by an authorized service center. All warranty replacements or repairs must be performed by an authorized distribution or service center. To find an authorized service center near you, to make a warranty claim, or for authorized warranty repair, call 1-877-3624271 or email cservice@fna-group.com.
Interior Pump Cleaning: Keeping the pump clean will allow it to perform its best and prolong the life of the pump. Do not store the pump without draining the pump housing. Do not allow chemicals to dry inside the pump housing. Clean your pump after each use by following the steps below. 1. Once you have completed pumping, place a container below the pump that is approved for the chemical you were pumping. 2. Remove the suction and discharge hoses. Drain them into an approved container. 3.
Engine Maintenance Before each use, check engine for loose or damaged parts, signs of oil or fuel leaks, and/or any other condition that may affect proper operation. Always keep all safety guards in place and in proper working order. Repair or replace all damaged or defective parts immediately. For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends all engine service and repairs (including emission control devices and systems) be performed by an authorized service center.
Storing for more than two months 1. Make sure the engine is completely cool. 2. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. 3. Remove all the fuel from fuel tank, fuel lines, and carburetor by loosening the drain screw at the bottom of the carburetor, and draining fuel into an appropriate container. 4. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. 5. Change the engine oil. 6. Remove any dirt and debris from the area around the spark plug, then use a spark plug socket or wrench to remove the spark plug. 7. Pour .
