Product Overview
Rural properties and mobile fencing teams operate the Aussie Quik Prime (QP303/L48) diesel recoil gusher pump with wide ports for draining agricultural channels, dam skimming, and paddock water distribution. Economical diesel fuel consumption delivers hours of steady pumping on a single tank of fuel. Wide suction and discharge openings allow water throughput for fast job completion.
Bulk fluid delivery achieves a maximum delivery rate of 1000 L/min and develops a maximum elevation head of 30 m. Internal hydraulic architecture features a marine grade aluminium casing, an open vane cast iron transfer impeller, and a carbon ceramic mechanical seal with nitrile elastomers. Total equipment mass measures 45 kg in dry operating trim.
Mechanical drive is provided by a Yanmar L48 4.8HP recoil start diesel engine producing 4.8 HP. Plumbing connections incorporate 3" BSP male inlet & 3" BSP male outlet, and the self-priming wet end achieves 7.6 m vertical suction lift. Rapid self-priming internal dynamics pick up fluid swiftly without requiring manual foot valves on suction lines.
Structural fully welded steel roll frame with anti-vibration mounts encloses the equipment while isolating mechanical vibration and simplifying site movement. The structural mount provides balance during transport across field vehicles, trailers, and utility trays. Complete spare parts support and factory technical documentation are accessible through Aussie Pumps distribution networks across Australia.
