Product Manual

GENERAL OPERATION
1. Place TrunkPump® hydraulic pump in a safe and stable location, bungee in
place if necessary.
2. Attach male and female couplings to your skid steer’s remote hydraulics.
3. Raise your TrunkPump® up as high as it will go
4. Unscrew the top fill plug and Fill your TrunkPump® with water BEFORE you
use it. Screw the fill plug back on hand tight. Never run your TrunkPump® dry.
5. Keep the TrunkPump® raised during transport to keep as much water in it as
possible
6. Once you are in place, engage parking brake for safe operation. Attach the
suction hose with strainer and place it in water. Always use the strainer to
keep out debris.
7. Make sure your strainer is in the deepest water and laying flat. Any air will
cause your TrunkPump® not to prime properly.
8. Unroll the discharge hose and place it where you want the water to go.
9. Engage the remote hydraulics.
10.Increase the throttle and raise the engine’s RPM’s to nearly full throttle.
11.Pinch the discharge hose as shown. You should feel some pressure building in
the line.
12.Hold the hose until you feel enough pressure for the hose to pop out of your
hands
13.Decrease the throttle to about 80%. Note. (As the water level gets low, de-
crease the throttle so your TrunkPump can keep pumping without getting any
air. Going slow near the end allows the water to move towards the strainer)
14.When you are done, turn off the remote hydraulics.
15.Roll up discharge hose (you may need to loosen the top fill plug and let a little
air out to be able to roll up your discharge hose)
16.When you are finished using your TrunkPump®, remove the bottom plug and
the top fill plug and rinse out with clean water. This cleans out any sediment.
