GAS POWERED TRASH PUMP

PRE-OPERATION

• Position the pump on a solid level surface as close as possible to the liquid to be pumped. The pump can be no higher than 20 feet above the liquid.
  
• The inlet (suction port) is on the front side of the pump above the drain plug, while the outlet (discharge port) is on the side of the pump.
  
• A reinforced hose on the suction side is provided.
  
• Always use a suction strainer connected on the suction hose or pipe.
  
• If the pump has lost fluid or has been drained, it must be primed with liquid through the priming port on top of the pump. With the inlet and outlet hoses connected to the pump, unscrew the priming port plug, fill the pump with water and re-attach the plug. The pump is self-priming when it is already full of liquid.

• Start the engine.
  
• The time it takes the pump to discharge liquid (priming time) will vary depending on how far away the liquid is from the pump. With a lift from 5-10 feet, priming should take less than a minute. At 20 feet, priming should take no longer than 2 minutes. Increasing the engine speed will decrease the priming time. A higher engine speed is more necessary on high suction lifts than on low lifts.
