Before Starting

1. Read safety instructions at the

beginning of manual.

2. Place pump as near to water as

possible, on a firm flat, level surface.

3. To prime pump, remove fill cap (Figure 2) and fill pump casing

with water. If the pump casing is not filled with water before

starting, it will not begin pumping.

QP40TH — PRE-SETUP (PUMP)

4. Check for

leaks

between pump and engine. If water is leaking

between the pump and engine housing, the seal inside the

pump may be worn or damaged. Continued operation of the

pump is not recommended. Further usage of the pump under

these conditions may cause severe water damage to engine.

Hoses and Clamps

1. Check that all hoses are

securely

attached to the pump.

Make certain suction hose (Figure 2) does not have any air

leakage. Tighten hose clamps and couplings as required.

2. It is recommended that 2 clamps be used when securing the

suction hose to the inlet side (suction) of the pump.

3. Remember suction hoses must be

rigid

enough not to

collapse when the pump is in operation.

4. Check that

the

discharge

hose (Figure 2) is not restricted.

Place hose so that it lays as straight as it is possible on the

ground. Remove any twists or sharp bends from hose which

may block the flow of water.

CAUTION :

Pump casing

must

be filled with water

before using pump. Otherwise pump will

not be able to begin pumping.

DO NOT open

fill cap

if pump is hot! Water

inside may be under pressure.

WARNING :

NOTE

Suction and discharge hoses are

available from Multiquip. Contact

your nearest dealer for more

information.

5. The discharge hose is usually a

collapsible

(thin-walled)

hose, however if a thin-walled discharge hose is not avail-

able, a rigid suction hose can be substituted in its place.

6. Make sure the

suction strainer

(Figure 2) is clean and

securely attached to the water end of the suction hose. The

strainer is designed to protect the pump by preventing large

objects from being pulled into the pump.

CAUTION :

The strainer should be positioned so it will

remain completely

under water

. Running the

pump with the strainer above water for long

periods can damage the pump.

CAUTION :

DO NOT pump flammable fluids, corrosive

chemicals or fluids containing toxic substances.

These fluids can create potentially dangerous

health and environmental hazards. Contact

local authorities for assistance.

CAUTION :

This pump uses a water-cooled

mechanical

seal

to prevent water from seeping into the

engine. The passage of water through the

pump casing lubricates the seal and prevents

it from overheating.

NEVER!

operate the pump

without water in the casing as this will cause

damage to the mechanical seal.
