MQ41TDH — GENERAL INFORMATION

The MQ41TDH Trash Pump is a self-priming centrifugal trash pump powered by a 15 horsepower air-cooled four stroke HATZ diesel engine. Both the intake (suction) and discharge ports on the MQ41TDH incorporate a 4-inch diameter opening, which allows the pump to pump at a rate of approximately 611 gpm or 2,313 lpm.

Trash Pump

Trash pumps derive their name from their ability to handle a greater amount of debris and solids than standard centrifugal pumps.These pumps generally handle solids up to 1/2 the size of the discharge opening making them less likely to clog. Also trash pumps are capable of handling water with 25% solids by weight.

The advantage of using a trash pump is that it can be quickly and easily disassembled in the field to remove debris in the event the pump becomes clogged.

Suction Lift

This pump is intended to be used for dewatering applications and is capable of suction lifts up to 25 feet at sea level. For optimal suction lift performance keep the suction hose or line as short as possible. In general always put the pump as close to the water as possible.

Pump Support

The pump should always be placed on solid stationary ground in a level position.To prevent the trailer from tipping, place blocks under the trailer's bumper.In addition, place chock blocks behined each wheel to prevent the trailer from rolling.

NEVER place the pump on soft soil. The suction hose or pipe connection should always be checked for tightness and leaks. A small suction leak in the hose or fittings could prevent the pump from priming.

Pump Clean-out

The clean-out cover on the MQ41TDH has been design for easy removal that allows for easy access to the volute and impeller for cleaning and servicing.

Spark Arresters

State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by the United States Forest Service for this purpose.

In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

Mechanical Seal Lubrication

The pump uses a water-cooled mechanical seal to prevent water from seeping into the engine. The passage of water through the pump casing lubricates the seal and prevents it from overheating. Never operate the pump without water in the casing as this will cause the seal to fail.

Engine Safety

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling! Failure to follow the safety guidelines described in the Rules for Safe Operation section of this manual and the Hatz Engine Operator's Manual could result in severe injury or death.

Accessories

.Multiquip offers a complete line of fittings, hoses, and clamps to properly connect the pump to match various job conditions. Refer to the part list in section 2 of this manual for a complete list of accessories

Elevation

Elevations over 3,000 feet will effect the performance of the pump. Due to less atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, pumps DO NOT have the priming ability that they have at sea level.

A general rule of thumb is that for every 1,000 feet of elevation above sea level a pump will lose one foot of priming ability.

For example, in Flagstaff, Arizona where the elevation is approximately 7,000 feet, the pump would have a suction lift of only 18 feet rather than the 25 feet at sea level.
