Maintenance Tips

• Spark Plug – Check the spark plug for dirt and wear. Clean or replace the spark plug every 100 hours or annually to ensure proper engine ignition and performance.

• Fuel Filter – Inspect the fuel filter every 50 hours and replace it if necessary. A clean fuel filter prevents contaminants from entering the engine and clogging the fuel system.

• Pump Inspection – Before use, check the pump housing and intake screen for debris or blockages. Make sure the impeller and seals are in good condition. Clean any debris that may affect the flow of water through the pump.

• Check Hoses and Connections – Inspect the suction and discharge hoses for cracks, leaks, or damage. Ensure the hose connections are tight and that there are no blockages that could impede the flow of water.

• Coolant System – Some models may have a coolant system; check fluid levels if applicable, and change coolant as recommended in the manual to avoid overheating.

• Water Intake & Discharge – After each use, clean the intake screen and ensure no debris has entered the pump. This helps maintain the flow efficiency and prevents clogging of the internal parts.

• Hydraulic Fluid (if applicable) – Check for any hydraulic fluid leaks or low levels. For models that use hydraulic fluid, ensure the fluid is clean and at the correct level to avoid pump or motor issues.

• Seals & Gaskets – Regularly check the seals and gaskets around the pump and hose connections for wear. Replace any damaged seals to prevent leaks and maintain optimal performance.

• Storage – If storing the pump for an extended period, clean the unit thoroughly, drain all water, and store it in a dry place. Consider draining the fuel and removing the spark plug to prevent engine damage during storage.
