2. Warnings and Safety Instructions.  
Before operation  
Protection is required for head, eyes, ears, hands and feet. Wear a suitable hard hat, goggles, ear  
covers, heavy gloves and safety shoes.  
Dress properly, do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could become caught in moving parts of the  
unit.  
Never let a child or inexperienced person operate the machine.  
Be sure to check bolts and other fasteners to see if any of them have become loose or are missing.  
On fuel  
Never operate the engine with gasoline only.  
This engine uses a fuel mix of 25-50 parts regular gasoline to 1 part of two-stroke oil. The fuel should  
be premixed prior to pouring into the fuel tank. It is recommended a quality two-stroke oil be used in  
the fuel mix.  
Failure to mix oil with gasoline will result in seizure and severe damage to the engine.  
Do not use gasoline containing alcohol or gasohol.  
Do not smoke when the fuel is supplied, and when you are working with the machine.  
Do not touch tank cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or still warm. The fuel should be  
poured into the fuel tank when the engine is cold.  
Never start the machine without priming water in the pump. It will cause serious damages to the  
engine and the pump; the manufacturer cannot guarantee in this case.  
Care must be taken to ensure that an air tight connection is made between the female unions, and the  
male pump stubs. An air leak at either union will greatly reduce the pump efficiency, or no water is  
pumped at all.  
A strainer should always be used on the suction hose, to prevent debris from entering the pump body,  
and causing possible damage to the impeller.  
During operation  
The unit should be operated in well ventilated area.  
Never carry the unit with the engine running.  
For safety, the unit should not be started without priming water.  
Do not pump oil etc. which is flammable.  
After the pumping of seawater, chemical fluid or urine, wash the pump with fresh water.  
WARNING!  
Indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of life, if instructions are not followed.  
CAUTION!  
Indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage, if instructions are not followed.  
NOTE!  
Helpful information for correct function and use.

3. Assembly Procedure  
Hose to pump connection. (Fig. 1-1)  
Care must be taken to ensure that tight connection is made  
between the female unions, and the male pump stubs.  
NOTE!  
An air leak at either union will greatly reduce the pump efficiency or  
no water is pumped at all.  
Strainer (Fig. 1-2)  
CAUTION!  
A strainer should always be used on the suction hose, to prevent  
debris from entering the pump body, and causing possible damage  
to the impeller.  
4. Operating Procedures  
Fuel  
Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.  
Use Tanaka two-cycle oil or a quality two-cycle oil at mixing  
ratio of 25-50:1 (Gasoline (A) : Oil (B)), only for the state of  
California at 50:1.  
Never use multi-grade oil (10 W/30) or waste oil.  
Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.  
Always start by filling half the amount of fuel, which is to be  
used. Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the  
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of fuel.  
Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before filling the fuel  
tank.  
Fueling  
WARNING!  
Always shut off the engine before refueling.  
Slowly open the fuel tank, when filling up with fuel, so that possible over-pressure disappears.  
Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.  
Always move the unit at least 3 m (10 ft.) from the fueling area before starting.  
Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank.  
Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container, before fueling.

Priming (Fig. 2-2)  
It is necessary to prime the pump before the initial usage. This is done  
by filling the pump body with water via the priming plug on the top of  
the pump housing.  
CAUTION!  
Never start the machine without priming water in the pump. It will  
cause serious damages to the engine and pump parts, the  
manufacturer cannot guarantee in this case.  
Starting (Fig. 2-3, 3 B)  
*Open the Fuel cock (3). (TCP-381, Fig. 2-3B)  
1. Set choke lever to CLOSED position (1).  
2. Set the throttle lever to approximately 1/2 throttle opening (2).  
3. Pull recoil starter briskly, taking care to keep the handle in your grasp and not allowing it to snap back. (Fig. 2-4)  
4. When you hear the engine wants to start, return choke lever to RUN position (open). Then pull recoil starter  
briskly again.  
5. After starting the engine, allow it to warm up for 2-3 minutes before subjecting it to any load.  
Running  
If water does not come out smoothly while using, stop the engine and wash the suction strainer. (Fig. 2-5)  
CAUTION!  
Do not pump oil etc. which is flammable  
NOTE!  
After the pumping of seawater, chemical fluid or urine, wash the pump with fresh water.  
Stopping (Fig. 2-6, 6B)  
When the engine is to be stopped, gradually decrease the engine speed to an idle, and then stop the engine.  
The engine is stopped, by completely raising the throttle lever.

5. Maintenance.  
Water pump (Fig. 3-1)  
All water in the pump should be drained from the housing, by means of the  
drain plug. Water left in the pump housing may cause damage by corrosion;  
there is also the danger of *freeze-up" damage in cold weather.  
NOTE!  
When the pump is used for the pumping of seawater, chemical fluid, or water  
which may contain any type of contaminant, the pump should always be "run  
through" with clean water prior to storage.  
Air filter (Fig. 3-2)  
The air filter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:  
• Carburetor malfunctions.  
• Starting problems.  
• Engine power reduction.  
• Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.  
• Abnormal fuel consumption.  
Clean the air filter daily or more often if working in exceptionally dusty areas.  
Cleaning the air filter  
Remove the air filter cover and the filter. Rinse it in warm soap suds. Check that  
the filter is dry before reassembly. An air filter that has been used for some time  
cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced by a new  
one. A damaged filter must always be replaced.  
NOTE! (TCP - 25)  
Saturate the element in 2-cycle oil or the equivalent. Squeeze the element to  
distribute the oil completely and to remove any excess oil.  
Spark plug (Fig. 3-3)  
The spark plug condition is influenced by:  
• An incorrect carburetor setting.  
• Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)  
• A dirty air filter.  
• Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).  
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in  
malfunction and starting difficulties. If the engine is low on power, difficult to  
start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug first. If the spark  
plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Readjust if necessary. The  
correct gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100  
operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.  
NOTE!  
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition  
signals. If this machine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use same  
type of spark plug for replacement.  
Muffler (Fig. 3-4)  
Remove the muffler and clean out any excess carbon from the exhaust port or  
muffler inlet from time to time in order to avoid power-loss.
