BEFORE USE

WARNING

CAUTION

CAUTION

Beware of water hammering

Do not allow any vehicle to run over the delivery hose. 

Do  not  close  the  delivery  valve 

abruptly because water-hammer 

may  occur. 

This  may  result  in  heavy 

damage to the pump.

For engine manual and notes, please refer to Engine Operation Manual enclosed.

1. Turn the knob counterclock-wise and remove the knob.
2. Pull the handle towards you, and then both front cover 

and volute casing can be removed.

3. Remove the peripheral plug before taking impeller out.

The impeller can be detached by prying loose 

with a rod or the like.

4. Draw out the mechanical seal from the engine shaft 

along with the sleeve.
NOTE: Please do not hammer an impeller directly when you want to take it out from 

the machine. It might damage the impeller.

Instead, take out the plug set first and then insert something like a rod or tool 

which is thin enough to get through the hole and hammer the rod or tool at 

the other end. The impeller can be removed out easily without damaging it.

NOTE: When assembling the parts, do not forget to place the adjusting washer, 

O-ring, etc., in the right positions. Also, correctly install the front cover 

and evenly tighten the right and left knobs. 

Note that incomplete assembling may affect the performance of the unit.

4-stroke engine needs  

"engine oil"

There is

 no engine oil in the engine. 

Before starting engine, engine oil must be filled.  If you start engine without engine oil, 

engine will burn out  and it is difficult to repair. (Warranty does not cover such claim.)

Please use 

"Unleaded Gasoline for Automobile"

DISASSEMBLY  AND  CLEANING  (Parts  replacement)

ATTENTION AFTER USE

Avoid fire when refuel or 

maintenance. 

Highly inflammable!
Do  not  operate  Trash  pump 

inside  a  room  or  under  bad 

ventilation  condition.  Harmful 

substances  are  in  exhaust  gas. 

There is danger of gas poisoning.
Do not put any obstacle 

around engine muffler. 

It may cause fire or breakage.

Read  carefully  and  understand 

fully before use.
Do  not  touch  muffler  or  any 

part  of  the  engine.  It  could 

cause burn.
Use correct type of suction hose. 

Water  temperature  tolerance:  5 

to  45 . May  cause  breakage  if 

use outside the mentioned range.
Please  use  suction  hose  for 

suction  side.  Please  purchase 

suitable  hose  to  fit  to  connection 

dia and suitable length.

Do not use pump on slope.

Fuel spillage at tank cap or 

carburetor may cause fire.
In case of operating Trash Pump in 

a  well  or  in  a  hollow,  the  person 

operating  the  pump    must  not

enter the small space as there is 

danger of gas poisoning.
Do  not  overhaul  or  repair, 

except  by  person  who  is 

trained to do so.

Keep children away from 

pump when in operation.
Do  not  run  pump  without 

water inside the pump.

This will cause pump damage.
This pump is not Suitable: 

drinking water, seawater, kerosene, 

light  oil,  heavy  oil,  gasoline, 

chemical, acid, alkaline etc.
Please  firmly  connect  hose 

with coupling and hose band 

when  you  connect  suction  or 

delivery hose to pump.

Check accessories provided

List of accessories provided are printed in the pump manual.

4-stroke engine

Flammable!! Avoid fire when refuel or maintenance.
Before starting engine, please check if engine oil is filled to required level.

Without engine oil or shortage of engine oil can cause trouble for engine.
Please read carefully Engine Operation Manual for engine oil instructions.
Flammable!  Do not operate near open fire.
Any fuel spillage must be cleaned completely.
Check  engine oil before operation. Check and refuel periodically.

Please read Engine Operation Manual for instructions.

Stop engine operation when refuelling engine oil. 

Engine oil can be very hot after operation.

CAUTION

Make sure suction hose is connected properly

In case of no self-priming after filling pump with water and engine is started, check 

suction hose connection carefully again. Most cases of no self-priming are caused 

by improper hose connection. 

Use suction hose for suction side. Use couplings/hose band as provided 

in accessory and attach hose properly. Installation of strainer at the end 

of suction hose is necessary.

Please install coupling in order of :

If you install coupling packing not in the above order, 

air leakage may result, affecting water suction efficiency.

CAUTION

How to install Coupling

Different  accessories  are  suitable  for different  models. 

Please check connection diameter and install correct parts.

CAUTION Do not change pump diameter by altering suction hose.

Water inside may freeze at below 0  in winter and may damage pump.  

After use, drain water from drain plug before storing.

CAUTION

Do not smoke as fuel is highly flammable.

Unused fuel must not remain in the tank for long term 

storage. Unused fuel may cause future engine failure.

CAUTION

Drain water after use

After use, remove the drain plug at the bottom and pour water 

from the suction/discharge ports so that the remaining sand 

is forced out of the pump. If the pump is used to transfer 

muddy water over a long period of time, a large volume of 

sand will be piled up in the pump casing, making it difficult to remove 

the front cover. Therefore, clean the inside the pump periodically.

Long storage

Discharge fuel in fuel tank and carburetor completely. Unused fuel in 

tank (if kept more than 30days) may cause engine failure. 

*Please refer to Engine Operation Manual.

Do not close delivery 

valve abruptly

Collapse of 

delivery hose

Drain

Fill pump with water before use

As pump is self-priming type, fill water fully from priming 

port into pump before running. 

Insufficient water can cause damage to pump.

5

CAUTION Running without filling water can damage 

mechanical seal.

HOW TO USE

1

Ensure pump is fully filled up with water.

2

Ensure strainer at the end of suction hose is in water.  

(If any mud or sand is at the bottom of water, suspend hose avoiding the bottom.)

3

Ensure no obstacle is at delivery hose side.
