GENERAL OPERATION
1. Attach your TrunkPump ® to 3-point hitch of tractor and secure in place.
2. Attach PTO shaft securely to tractor power take-off and TrunkPump ® power input.
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. Attach the suction hose with strainer and place it in water. Al-
ways 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 Tractor’s PTO as you lower the TrunkPump ® to parallel.
10. Increase the throttle and raise the engine’s RPM’s to full throttle.
11. Pinch the discharge hose as shown. This will help your TrunkPump ® to prime faster.
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, decrease the throttle so your Trunk-
Pump 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, raise your TrunkPump ® all the way up BEFORE you turn off the PTO. (this keeps water in
your TrunkPump to stay primed if you need to move to another pumping location.)
15. Roll up discharge hose and place back on the frame. Note. (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.
