The engine requires No. 2 diesel fuel. Use only fresh, clean fuel. Fuel
containing water or dirt will damage the fuel system. Consult the
engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications.

beginning of this manual.
4.5.2 Check:
• The oil level in the engine
• The fuel level
• The condition of the air cleaner

NOTICE: DO NOT run the engine without oil in the oil-bath air cleaner
or severe engine damage will result.
4.6 Before Starting the Pump
See graphic: wc_gr001166
4.6.1 Check the bearing/seal housing (f) for proper oil level. Also check the
oil for water contamination. Do not operate the pump if contamination
is found.
4.6.2 Position the pump as near to the water as possible, on a firm, flat
surface. Keep the pump level.
4.6.3 Lower the rear stabilizers (a) until they contact the ground. Lock the
stabilizers in position with the pins.
4.6.4 Crank down the jack stand (b) on the front of the trailer. Block both
wheels to keep the pump from rolling during operation.
4.6.5 If necessary, rotate the discharge elbow to direct water flow in the
desired direction.
4.6.6 Attach the suction hose to the suction port (d). Attach the discharge
hoses to the discharge port (e). Check and tighten the clamps and
coupling to make sure the hoses are securely fastened.
A loose connection can create a serious safety hazard should it break
loose while the pump is running.
