3. Setup
3.1 Assembly
- Attach Inlet/Outlet Connectors: Securely fasten the provided inlet and outlet connectors to the pump housing using the O-rings and hose clamps. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
- Connect Hoses: Attach the suction hose (with strainer) to the inlet connector and the discharge hose to the outlet connector. Use hose clamps to secure all connections. The suction hose must be rigid enough to prevent collapse under vacuum.

3.2 Fuel and Oil Mixture
This pump uses a 2-stroke engine, requiring a specific fuel-to-oil mixture. The recommended ratio is 30:1 (30 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-stroke engine oil).
- Use fresh, unleaded gasoline.
- Use high-quality 2-stroke engine oil.
- Mix the fuel and oil thoroughly in a separate, approved fuel container before pouring into the pump's fuel tank. The included mixing bottle can assist with this.
3.3 Priming the Pump
Before starting, the pump housing must be filled with water to create a vacuum for suction.
- Remove the priming cap located on top of the pump housing.
- Slowly pour clean water into the priming port until the pump housing is full.
- Replace and securely tighten the priming cap.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Starting the Engine
- Ensure the pump is on a stable, level surface.
- Open the fuel valve (if present).
- Set the choke lever to the "START" or "CHOKE" position (cold engine).
- Set the engine switch to the "ON" position.
- Pull the recoil starter handle firmly and smoothly until the engine starts. Do not pull the rope to its full extension.
- Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
- Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging the pump.

4.2 Operating the Pump
- Ensure the suction hose is fully submerged in the water source and the strainer is clear of debris.
- Monitor the pump's performance and adjust the throttle as needed.
- Avoid running the pump dry, as this can cause damage.
4.3 Stopping the Engine
- Reduce the engine speed to idle.
- Set the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
- Close the fuel valve (if present) for storage.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your water pump.
5.1 After Each Use
- Drain any remaining water from the pump housing and hoses to prevent freezing or corrosion.
- Clean the inlet strainer to remove any debris.
- Wipe down the exterior of the pump.
5.2 Periodic Maintenance
- Spark Plug: Inspect and clean the spark plug regularly. Replace if worn or fouled.
- Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter element as needed, especially in dusty conditions.
- Fuel Filter: Check and clean the fuel filter.
- General Inspection: Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for tightness. Inspect hoses for cracks or damage.
5.3 Storage
- For long-term storage, drain all fuel from the tank and carburetor. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
- Remove the spark plug and pour a small amount of 2-stroke oil into the cylinder. Pull the recoil starter a few times to distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug.
- Store the pump in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Troubleshooting
