After each usage, your sprayer should be drained and cleaned. It is normally acceptable to leave the product in the sprayer if you intend to spray again later that day or the next day. If you are not going to spray again for at least a day or two, you will need to drain the tank. You should triple-rinse your sprayer after draining the tank. This entails flushing the system three times with fresh water to remove as much chemical residue as possible.

Fill the tank halfway with fresh water. Then, pump the handle while holding the trigger wand open to spray out everything in the tank. Pump the handle a few dozen times while keeping the trigger open.

To begin the start-up process, fill the fuel tank with a 50:1 fuel mix.

We recommend using Craftop Brand Oil the proper fuel mix ratio.

Here is a link for a correct mix of oil and gasoline.

The priming bulb is located towards the bottom of the carburetor. Pump the bulb 5-7 times until fuel begins to flow through the fuel pipes.

Position the choke upright on a cold start (first start – right out of the box).

Set the throttle to 50%.

Pull the recoil starter 3-5 times to get the engine to start.

Push the choke down once you hear the engine flutter (turn over).

Set the throttle to 50%.

To start the engine, pull the recoil starter.

Allow the engine to warm up for 1-2 minutes at low throttle.

When the engine starts, the centrifugal impeller rotates, pushing water out of the pump through the discharge port. The displacement of this water then creates a vacuum, drawing water from the tank into the water pump’s inlet side.

This procedure is then repeated to keep the water flowing

Power: Craftop Gas Water Pumps are more powerful and move far more water than other types of pumps. Higher gallons per minute (GPM) and PSI ratings on gas pumps make all the difference in getting the work done in two hours or twenty minutes for heavy-duty applications like flood clearance or emptying a building site.

Versatility and Portability:

You can take a gas-powered water pump anywhere you need it on the job site, and not rely on having electricity to power the pump. Craftop Gas Water Pumps are a favorite for the agricultural/farming industry because the pumps can be used to power irrigation systems or can be mounted onto tractors and other farm equipment Trash pumps that run on gasoline are powerful enough to be used for pumping solids, debris, and wastewater that could come from flooding or emptying quarries that have small rocks and other materials present in the water, and are a favorite for construction companies or city municipalities.

Gas water pumps can be selected based on the desired application and how quickly the water needs to be pumped. GPM/PSI ratings, inlet/outlet size for water and hoses, how high you’ll need to pump the water, referred to as Total Head Lift (measured in vertical feet), and how far you’ll need to pump the water horizontally are the most significant elements in properly sizing a gas water pump. Finally, never use a gas water pump indoors since carbon monoxide will build up from the exhaust fumes, which can be fatal.

The easiest strategy to choose the best water pump for you is to be aware of your water usage needs. Look for characteristics like:

Portable electronic ignition, flow, pressure, and suction

While you should make sure you can transfer the necessary amount of water at the required rate, you shouldn’t get anything that will exceed your capacity requirements. If you’re unsure, contact our experts, and they can help you select a pump that will meet your water needs.

To choose which model is right for you, consider these questions:

What is the demand for water? (suction, pressure, and flow)?

What is the height that you will need to move the water to?

Does the pump have to be movable or may it stay in one place?

Also, it all depends on how much water you need to pump, how rapidly you need to pump it, and how unclean the water is. Many factors influence pump performance, including atmospheric pressure (how high the pump is above sea level), hose resistance, and so forth. The flow rate of a pump is measured and expressed in gallons per minute or gallons per hour. The higher the flow, the better the performance. If the water is sandy, muddy (abrasive), or contains minute particles, you should get a semi-trash or trash pump. If the water you plan to pump is always clean, such as in a swimming pool, hot tub, or water garden, a clean water pump will suffice.

Water pumps come in two basic categories. Positive displacement and centrifugal pumps

No, the water must not be hotter than 100°F or 40°C. Hot water can permanently harm the pump.

All water pumps need regular maintenance, such as oil changes, to maintain peak performance over many years of dependable use. For routine maintenance procedures and schedules, consult the owner’s manual.

No, bleach can cause permanent damage to the pump and hoses.

Never use a pump for fluids that it was not designed or intended for. The two most hazardous situations are using a water pump to carry caustic or combustible fluids, such as acid or gasoline, and using a pump to transfer fluids that are too viscous for the pump to safely transport.
