6. INSPECTION BEFORE USE
For your safety and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to take
a few moments before you operate the pump to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any
problem you find or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the pump.
WARNING: Improperly maintaining this pump or failing to correct problems before operation
could cause a malfunction in which you could be seriously injured.
Combustion gases contain carbon monoxide which is poisonous. Avoid inhaling exhaust
fumes. Never start the engine indoors or in a garage.
To avoid a fire, keep the pump 1 meter away from any wall or other operating equipment. Do
not place flammable objects near the engine. Before you start, do some initial checks. Make
sure you are on a level surface and the ignition switch is in the "OFF" position.
1. Routine Check
Look around and underneath the pump for signs of oil or gasoline leaks. Remove any
excessive dirt or debris, especially from around the engine muffler and recoil starter.
Look for signs of damage.
Check to confirm that all nuts, bolts, screws, hose connectors and clamps
are tightened.
2. Check The Suction And Discharge Hoses
Check the general condition of the hoses. Be sure the hoses are in serviceable condition
before connecting them to the pump. Remember that the suction hose must be of a reinforced
construction to prevent hose collapse.
Check to ensure that the sealing washer in the suction hose connector is in a good condition.
Check to ensure that the hose connectors and clamps are securely installed.
Check to ensure that the strainer is in a good condition and is installed on the suction hose.
3. Checking the engine oil level
NOTE: Put the engine on a level place and check the engine oil.
Operating the engine with the oil below the lower mark will damage it.
Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
1 Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.
2) If the level is low, add the recommended oil to the upper mark on the dipstick.
3) After adding, don't forget to refit and screw down the oil dipstick.
