General Recommendations

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of the trash pump. See any authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for service.

The trash pump’s warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain trash pump as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your trash pump.

All service and adjustments should be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance Schedule chart above.

NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

Emissions Control

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control devices and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.

However, to obtain ”no charge” emissions control service, the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions Warranty.

Trash Pump Maintenance

Maintenance consists of keeping the trash pump clean. Store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the trash pumps engine must not become clogged with dirt, leaves or any other foreign material.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean trash pumps engine. Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems.
