REMEMBER: Contaminated water is water containing small solids in
suspension, do not pump slurry, sludge, sand, or mud.
CONNECTING THE STRAINER
1. Attach the suction strainer to the end of suction hose using the third hose
clamp (of the three supplied), to prevent stones etc, from being drawn
up, which could cause severe damage to the pump. Keep the strainer
clean. If it is likely to clog with dirt or debris, proceed by either:
a. Preparing a bed of stones on which to rest the strainer.
b. Tying the strainer so that it stays clear of the bottom of the pit, pond
or excavation.
c. Tie the strainer inside a basket or bucket.
PRIMING THE PUMP
1. Remove the filler plug on top of the pump case and prime the pump with
water, leaving no air gap. Remember the pump is self-priming only when
filled. It will prime and re-prime itself without refilling. Refilling is necessary
only if the pump has been drained or if the water has been lost. Never
allow the pump to run dry.
OPERATION

1. Pull the starter recoil rope
slowly two or three times to
allow fuel to reach the
carburettor.
2. To start a cold engine, set
the choke level to the right
(CHOKE) position, but if the
engine is already warm, the
choke should be in the RUN
position.
3. Set the throttle about one
third OPEN (to the right).
