ENGINE SECTION

Oil and Fuel

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

- In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

- Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. - Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4" to 1/2" (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows gasoline

to expand.

• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.

• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.

• Do not smoke near fuel.

• Mix and pour fuel outdoors and where there are no sparks or flames.
• Always shut off the engine before refueling. Never remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running or just right after sopping the engine.
• Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release any possible overpressure inside the tank.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• Gasoline contains gasses that can build up pressure inside a gas tank.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

- Fuel can be sprayed on you when removing gas cap.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

- Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray.

1. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 1/4-1/2 inch (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank.
2. Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully but firmly after refilling.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
4. Move the Water Pump at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the fueling location and fuel storage container before starting the engine.

Recommended Oil Type

Only use a two-cycle engine oil formulated for use in high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines. Maruyama brand 2-cycle oil is formulated for use in high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines.

IMPORTANT: Do not use National Marine Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This type of 2-cycle engine oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine damage.

Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine damage.

Recommended Fuel Type

Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline, including oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, with an octane rating of 85 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase only the quantity of gasoline that can be used in 30 days. Use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or recommended.

Use of Fuel Additives

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL, GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT.

DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR FUEL STABILIZATION DURING STORAGE SUCH AS MARUYAMA'S STABILIZER/ CONDITIONER OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT. MARUYAMA'S STABILIZER/ CONDITIONER IS A PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED CONDITIONER/STABILIZER.

MARUYAMA DOES NOT RECOMMEND STABILIZERS WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE SUCH AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR ISO-PROPYL. ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE POWER OR PERFORMANCE OF MACHINE.

Mixing Gasoline And Oil

IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Water Pump is of a 2-cycle design. The internal moving parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline for lubrication.

Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine damage which will void your warranty.

For your fuel premix, only use a quality oil designed for 2-cycle air cooled engines. Maruyama 50:1 2-cycle Oil is formulated to meet the requirements of high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines.

Fuel Mixture

The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.

Note: Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1 regardless of the oil package mixing instructions. Ratios less the 50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1), reduce the amount of lubrication to the internal moving parts of the engine and can cause damage.

Fuel Mixture Chart

Gasoline	50:1 2-cycle oil
1 gallon	2.6 oz.
2 gallons	5.1 oz.
5 gallons	12.8 oz.
1 litre	20 ml
5 litre	100 ml

Mixing Instructions

IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the Water Pump fuel tank.

1. Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline.
2. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Water Pump.
3. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half the required amount of gasoline.
4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline.
5. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Water Pump.
6. When refilling the Water Pump fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris from entering the tank during cap removal.
7. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling the fuel tank.
8. Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage.
9. Fill the tank only to within 1/4-1/2 inch (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.

2. Move the choke lever to the open (| | |) position and move the stop switch to the "ON" position.
3. Leave the throttle lever in the idle position and pull the starter grip.
4. If the engine fails to start after three to four pulls, follow the instruction in the Cold Starting Procedure section above.

If the engine fails to start after you follow the above procedures, contact an authorized Maruyama dealer.

To Stop The Engine:

1. Move throttle lever to the idle position.

2. Move the stop switch to the "OFF" position.

IMPORTANT: Except emergency, do not stop engine while it runs fast. It may damage the engine. Move the throttle lever at idle position first, then move the stop switch to "OFF" position.

IMPORTANT: In case of the stop switch failure and the engine continue to run, move the choke lever to the closed( || )position to stop the engine.

Carburetor Adjustment

This water pump is equipped with non-adjustable fuel mixture carburetor. The engine idle speed is the only adjustment accessible to the Operator.

CAUTION: The water pump impeller is spinning during idle speed adjustment.

Never start the engine without water in the pump housing.

Running the engine without water in the pump housing will cause serious damage.

Engine Idle Speed:

The engine idle speed should be 2,700-3,300 rpm.

The engine idle speed is adjusted by rotating the idle speed screw on the carburetor.

Turning the idle speed screw in (clockwise) increase engine speed while turning the screw out decreases engine speed.

Maintenance

Maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any repair establishment or individual; however, warranty repairs must be performed by a dealer or service center authorized by Maruyama Manufacturing Company, Inc. The use of parts that are not equivalent in performance and durability to authorized parts may impair the effectiveness of the emission control system and may have a bearing on the outcome of a warranty claim.

Pump

1. After the pump has been used with muddy water, be sure to run it with clean water for a few minutes to clean the interior of the pump before stopping operation.
2. Where outside temperatures drop to freezing or below, be sure to drain all water from the pump before storage.
3. When the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, clean the pump interior thoroughly, remove all remaining moisture, and then store it covered in a dry, cool, dark place.

Cooling Fin Cleaning

1. With the engine at ambient (room) temperature, loosen the knob and remove the air cleaner cover.

1. Remove the two tapping screws.

Remove four socket head screws, and remove recoil starter.

Remove the two tapping screws (see Cooling fan cleaning), and remove the socket head screw of fuel tank hold on the recoil stater side.

1. Push the pawl, and pull off the fan cover.

1. Clean all dirt and debris from the cooling fins and from around the cylinder base.

2. Reinstall the fan cover and the cleaner cover.
