OPERATION
SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
To safely realize the full potential of this pump, you need a complete understanding of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its controls.
Before operating the pump for the first time, please review the
IMPORTANT
SAFETY /NFORMA.T/ON on page 6 and the chapter
tilted BEFORE OPERATION.
For you safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage. Your engine’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.
Do not pump drinking water. Pump only non-potable water, muddy water, and water containing solids. Pumping flammable liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a fire or explosion, causing serious injury. Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion can damage the pump-
18
OPERATION
Due to the pump diaphragm reciprocating motion, pump assembly and hoses will move up and down and side-to-side during pumping.
This may cause the pump to walk or move around while pumping.
Depending on the surface conditions, pump hose length, and other factors it may be necessary to anchor the pump to limit pump movement. During operation, observe pump movement and anchor the pump frame as necessary. To anchor the pump, attach anchored tie down straps to the pump lift handles.
While pumping, the suction hose may move out of the pumping source and the discharge hose may move away from the pumping destination. It may also be necessary to anchor hose ends to prevent hose movement.
If there is no one to monitor the pump during operation, it is advisable to anchor the pump to prevent unexpected movement.
Pump total dynamic discharge head is 50 feet. Total dynamic discharge head includes static discharge head (discharge vertical height) and head loss due to friction. Head loss makes it impractical for the static discharge head to exceed 25 feet. Pumping to a static discharge head greater than 25 feet can damage pump.
This diaphragm pump should never be run with the discharge output shut off or restricted. piq
Pump case failure may result if the discharge output is shut off or restricted. To avoid pump damage, do not restrict, shut off or momentarily stop the fluid flow from the discharge hose.
A rigid pipe should never be used with a diaphragm pump. Flexible hoses must be attached to the pump. The suction hose must be noncollapsible. Never use hoses that are smaller than the suction or discharge fittings. Example: 2 inch pump requires a 2 inch inside diameter or greater hose and 3 inch pump requires a 3 inch inside diameter or greater hose. Using rigid pipes or hoses that are too small will cause severe damage to the diaphragm pump.
1 NOTICE 1
Due to pump movement during operation, connecting a rigid pipe to the pump will cause pump damage. Always use flexible suction and discharge hoses to prevent pump damage.
19
OPERATION
When water being pumped contains solids, the solids may get lodged under the clappet valves which will prevent the clappet valves from closing completely. To maintain maximum pump performance, the discharge hose should angle upward as it exits the pump.
DISCHARGE
HOSE
If the discharge hose must run across a roadway, the hose should cross the roadway perpendicular to traffic flow. Also, heavy boards should be placed next to the hose so the motor-vehicle weight does not shut off the discharge as vehicles cross over the hose. Driving over a discharge hose while the pump is running or even possibly when the pump is stopped will most likely cause pump case failure.
Collapsing the discharge hose will cause pump case and/or diaphragm damage. To prevent pump damage, take the necessary precautions to prevent the discharge hose from getting compressed or collapsed.
During freezing weather, always drain the pump case after use. If water is left in the pump case during freezing weather, the pump case will break.
20
OPERATION
PUMP PREPARATION
Suction Hose Connection
Use a commercially available hose, hose connector, and hose clamps. Hose must be the same size or larger than the suction port.
To prevent hose from collapsing, use a hose that is reinforced with a noncollapsible wall or braided wire construction. Keep pump as close as possible to the pumping liquid. Avoid hose bends and sharp turns.
Pump performance is best when the pump is not far above the liquid level and the hose is kept straight. Self-priming time is also proportional to the suction hose length. Using a longer suction hose will increase the self-priming time.
Tighten the hose connector to the suction hose with a hose clamp to prevent air leakage and loss of suction. Verify that the connector sealing washer is installed and in good condition. A loosely connected suction hose will reduce pump performance and self-priming ability.

STRAINER~~
The strainer provided with the pump should be attached to the end of the suction hose as shown.
Always install the strainer on the end of the suction hose before pumping. The strainer will prevent debris from entering the pump that can cause clogging, diaphragm and/or other pump damage.
21
OPERATION
Discharge Hose Connection
Use a commercially available hose, hose connector, and hose band.
A short, large diameter hose will provide lower fluid friction and improve pump efficiency. A long or small diameter hose will increase fluid friction and reduces pump output. Never use a hose size smaller than the discharge port diameter.
1 NOTICE 1
If a discharge hose is used that has a smaller inside diameter than the port size, the pump case may be damaged. To avoid pump damage, always use the correct size hose.
Tighten the hose clamp to prevent the hose from disconnecting under high pressure.
Pump Priming
Pump priming is not required if the vertical distance from water to the pump (suction head) is less than 14 feet on WDP20X or 16 feet for a
WDP30X. The suction head can be increased to 21 feet for the
WDP20X or 24 feet for the WDP30X by priming the pump.
To prime the pump, remove the air cushion chamber cap. Grasp the suction hose next to the suction fitting and lift the hose about 1 foot off the ground. Pour about 1 gallon of water into the pump case through the air cushion chamber. Lifting the suction hose will help to ensure the water goes into the pump housing and not out the suction hose. Lay the hose back on the ground, and reinstall the air cushion chamber cap.

Never try to brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into the paper fibers. Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirty or damaged.
Foam element cleaning: Wash the element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash in nonflammable solvent.
Allow element to dry thoroughly. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil.

Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate the pump above 5,000 feet
(1,500 meters), have an authorized Honda servicing dealer perform this carburetor modification.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1 ,OOO-foot (300-meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
1 NOTICE 1
When the carburetor is modified for high altitude operation, the air fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.
For use at low altitudes, have an authorized Honda servicing dealer return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
40
MAINTENANCE
Fuel Recommendations
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear light “spark knock” or “pinging” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.
If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized Honda servicing dealer. pG?iq
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.

STORAGE PREPARATION
The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your pump’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use the pump again.
Cleaning
Engine
Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from entering the air cleaner or muffler. l l
1 NOTICE 1
Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the air cleaner. Water in the air cleaner will soak the filter and can enter the carburetor or engine, causing damage.
Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before washing.
Pump
1. Flush the pump chamber (see page 43).
2. Wash the pump with a garden hose or other low pressure equipment. Keep water away from controls, and all other places that are difficult to dry, as water may promote rust.
3. After washing: Remove as much .standing water as possible with a dry cloth. Start the engine outdoors and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature to evaporate any water remaining on the engine.
4. Stop the engine, and allow it to cool.
5. After the pump is clean and dry, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil. Lubricate controls with a silicone spray lubricant.
56
STORAGE
Fuel
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your pump’s engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.
The Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation.
You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.
Adding fuel stabilizer to extend fuel storage life
Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
1. Add fuel stabilizer following manufacturer instructions.
2. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
3. Stop the engine, and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. Drain the pump chamber.
STORAGE
Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor ’
1. Remove the carburetor drain screw with a 10 mm wrench or screwdriver, and drain the fuel system into an approved gasoline container.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. l l
You can be burned or seriously injured when l handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. This will allow fuel in the fuel tank to drain through the carburetor bowl.
FUEL VALVE
DRAIN SCREW
3. Reinstall the drain screw and gasket,
Engine Oil
Change the engine oil (see page 34).
58
STORAGE
Air Cleaner
Check the air filter and clean as necessary (see page 36).
Engine Cylinder
1. Remove the spark plug (see
(5 - 10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil starter rope a few times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. Continue pulling slowly until the arrow notch on the starter pulley aligns with the hole on the recoil starter. Return the starter grip gently. This will close the valves so moisture can not enter the engine cylinder.
59
STORAGE
PLACING IN STORAGE
If your pump will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Place the pump on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the pump to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials.
Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the pump, promoting rust and corrosion.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your pump as described in the BEFORE OPERATION chapter of this manual.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fitI the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OXYGENATED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the
United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirements.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents.
Some states/provinces require this information to be posted on the pump.
The following are the EPA approved percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL -(ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume
You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume
You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
METHANOL -(methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume
You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station or switch to another brand of gasoline.
Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty.
67
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION’
Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight.
Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.
Honda utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations
require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems.
The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your Honda engine within the emission standards.
Tampering and Altering
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute tampering are: l l l l l l
Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel or exhaust systems.
Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed adjusting mechanism to cause the engine to operate outside its design parameters.
Problems that may Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer. l
Hard starting or stalling after starting.
Rough idle.
Misfiring or backfiring under load.
Afterburning (backfiring).
Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your new Honda engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations. We recommend the use of genuine Honda parts whenever you have maintenance done. These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule on page 32. Remember that this
schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
