The Brave 3-inch commercial-grade trash pump is a top - notch solution for moving large volumes of water that may have solids like leaves, pebbles, or twigs. This heavy - duty pump is a dream for farmers and contractors as it can empty whole ponds. It moves liquids super fast, helping you finish your tasks in no time. It can filter particles up to 1.5 inches in diameter, and hose kits are available. Key features include a cast - iron impeller, a one - tool serviceability tool, a high - quality silicon carbide mechanical seal, a heavy - duty steel roll frame and strainer, a built - in EPDM/EPR check value, removable/replaceable cast - iron suction/discharge parts, a 90° increment rotating discharge port, vibration - dampening feet, a maximum temperature of 180°F, self - priming up to 26 feet, and a maximum solids handling capacity of 1.25 inches. There's also an optional wheel kit.
Using the Brave 3 - inch trash pump is straightforward. First, make sure the pump is placed on a flat and stable surface. Connect the hoses to the suction and discharge ports. Prime the pump if it's not self - priming to the required height (it can self - prime up to 26 ft). Start the Honda GX270 engine and let it run for a bit to get the pump working. As it operates, it can handle water with solids up to 1.25 inches in size, but be careful not to let in overly large objects. When it comes to maintenance, check the cast - iron impeller regularly for any signs of wear or damage. The mechanical seal should also be inspected, and if there are any leaks, it might need replacement. The one - tool serviceability tool makes it easier to perform some basic maintenance tasks. After each use, clean the pump and the strainer to prevent clogging. Store the pump in a dry place and protect it from extreme temperatures. The maximum operating temperature is 180°F, so don't expose it to higher heat. Also, if you choose to use the optional wheel kit, make sure it's properly attached and maintained.
