Never seen irrigation like this? Pumping from the pond...setup start to finish!
What happens here
Unbox the Powerhorse 2-inch Semi-Trash Water Pump. Note that the pump requires ethanol-free gasoline. Check the oil level using the dipstick, which indicates it needs to be filled to the bottom lip with 10W30 oil. The pump features a low oil shut-off for protection, a fuel switch (on/off), and a choke for starting. Prepare the fuel by ensuring it's ethanol-free gasoline and have the 10W30 oil ready for filling.
Goal: Get the pump ready for operation by checking fuel and oil requirements.
