NORTH-STAR-1064711-High-Pressure-Water-Pump-FIG-7

1. Place the water pump near the liquid surfacePlace the water pump on a level surface in a location as near to the liquid surface as possible, this will ensure proper pump suction. Refer to Lifting Points on Machine Components diagram when placing or transporting unit.

All hoses must be kept as straight as possible, avoid sharp bends.

NOTE: 23ft (7m) is the maximum height of the suction head.

2. Environment conditionsAmbient Operating Temperature Range. +5 °F to +104 °F (-15 °C to +40 °C). If operating pump below +32 °F (0 °C) drain pump after use to prevent damage from freezing.

Humidity. 95% max. If possible, avoid any area with high humidity. Humidity promotes rust and corrosion.

Altitude. If operation of the engine is always at altitudes HIGHER than 6,000 feet (1828.8m) above sea level, have an authorized Honda Engine dealer perform carburetor modifications. At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease while fuel consumption will increase.

NOTICE: Operation of the engine at an altitude LOWER than the carburetor is modified for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.

2. Use flexible hoseUse at least 12” (30.5 cm) of flexible hose to make plumbing connections to the pump body. Rigid piping may put stresses on the pump, causing damage.
3. Place unit on secure footingAlways be sure the unit is on a secure footing. Keep the immediate pump area free of all unauthorized personnel. If the water pump is sitting beside a pit, be sure it is well anchored so that it does not fall in.
4. Do not run the pump dryDo not run the pump dry. Always fill the pump body with water before starting. It is not necessary to drain the pump body after each use, unless there is danger of freezing, settling of solids, or crystallization.
5. Fill the pump with waterFill the pump with water utilizing the priming port on the top of the pump. (The pump self primes only when it is first filled with priming water.)

All hoses and pipe connections must be airtight.

Operation Using the Water Pump

Operate the water pump

WARNING: Do not run the water pump unattended.

1. Review safety informationReview the “Operation – Important Safety Information” provided in this manual.
2. PrimingUsing the priming port on the top of the pump, completely fill the pump chamber with water before starting the engine.
3. Engine operation precautionsHeed the following safety rules regarding running the water pump engine:
  • Hot muffler. If you are starting a warm engine, stay clear of muffler. It may still be hot enough to burn you.
  • Hot exhaust. Hot exhaust fumes from engine can cause fire. Position muffler at least 7’ (2.1 m) from combustible objects during operation.
  • Fire extinguisher. Have a Class B fire extinguisher available as a precautionary measure when operating the water pump engine in dry areas.
  • Carbon monoxide. The running engine gives off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CAN NOT smell it, see it, or taste it. ONLY run the water pump engine OUTDOORS and at least 20 feet (6.1m) from the home, away from windows, vents and air intakes, to allow proper ventilation. NEVER run the water pump engine inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-enclosed spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the water pump, shut off the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
4. Start engineConsult the engine Owner’s Manual for starting the engine.
5. Throttle controlWhen operating the water pump much higher than the water surface, you may need to speed up the engine, using the throttle. When the pump is near the water surface, a slower engine speed can be used. This will save engine fuel and life.

 

Consult the engine Owner’s Manual for throttle location.

6. Secure flexible hoseNever allow a vehicle to run over the flexible hose. This sudden shut off pressure can cause “hydraulic shock”.

 

If your flexible hose must be laid across a high traffic area, it is advised to protect the flexible hose with planking.

7. Keep pump from freezingNever allow water to freeze in the pump. Freezing water can be extremely dangerous to the pump, always drain the water from the pump if freezing temperatures are a factor.
8. Flush the pumpFlush the pump with clean water after each use is advised. Some liquids being pumped may leave a solid or sticky residue. This may shorten the life of your pump.

Storage

Prepare the water pump for end-of-season storage by running clean water through the system. This will flush out any contaminants and clean the water pump internals. After the water pump has been flushed with clean water, completely drain the water pump of all water to protect from freezing.

WARNING: Gasoline vapors can ignite and cause a fire. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks.

CAUTION

  • The water pump will be damaged if it freezes.
  • Protect the water pump from freezing during storage by following the instructions below.

Preparing for storage

1. Flush the pumpFlush the pump with clean water after each use is advised. Some liquids being pumped may leave a solid or sticky residue. This may shorten the life of your pump.
2. Drain the water pumpUsing the water pump drain plug, drain the water pump completely of water to prevent freezing.
3. Engine

storage

Refer to the engine manual for proper engine storage instructions.
  • Always disable the engine for storage by unplugging the spark plug wire.

CAUTION: Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline in the engine will cause hard starting and leave gum deposits that can clog the fuel system. Deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.

Short-Term Storage

Consider adding a fuel stabilizer to extend fuel storage life.

Long Term Storage: (between infrequent uses and at end of season)

Drain the fuel tank and carburetor as instructed in the engine owner’s manual.

Important Safety Instructions:

  • Always drain fuel from tank in an outdoor, well-ventilated area.
