Operating Instructions & Parts Manual
2 Inch & 3 Inch Water Pump

Storage Precautions

If your pump will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of
gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame,
such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because causes rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve lever in the OFF position to reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage.
Position the pump so that it is level. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the pump to keep it out of dust. A hot engine and exhaust
system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap
moisture around the engine, promoting rust and corrosion.

Removal From Storage

Check your pump as described in the Before Operation chapter of this manual.
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.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is
normal.

Transporting

If the pump has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the pump on the transport
vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Keep the pump level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Move the fuel valve lever to the
OFF position
