WARNING: Do not run the motor-driven pump
without water as it might overheat. Prolonged
use without water could affect the pump sealing.
If the pump has been running without water, stop
he
the motor-driven pump and top up with water
d,
once the engine has cooled down.
4- START-UP
4.1 PRIOR CHECK
or
• Before start-up, it is extremely important to
ps
take a good look at the motor-driven pump and
on
understand how it works. You can also visually
ve
check the motor-driven pump and its fittings.
• Any source of real or potential danger should be
removed before start-up.
• Note the locations of the buttons, switches or any
other emergency stop system fitted on the motor-
driven pump.
• Find out what to do in the event of an emergency
he
at your facility. Locate fire extinguishers, protection
-
or emergency tools and check that they work
ty
correctly.
• Identify sources of danger such as residues of
oft
petrol, lubricant, acid solutions.
• Make sure that the motor-driven pump is clean
by
and that there are no obstacles within its work
perimeter.
• Check that the discharge pipe is not pointing at
he
obstacles or that it is at least one metre away from
them.
ng
In particular:
• Check that the oil has been topped up, if necessary,
with good quality fresh oil.
• Check that the petrol tank has been filled using
fresh (recent) fuel.

4.2 STARTING THE ENGINE - SEE FIG.B
1- Open the petrol valve B.14.
2- To start up an engine cold, put the choke into the
CLOSE position B.6. To start up an engine that
is still hot, turn the choke to the OPEN position.
3- Move the throttle B.11 from the LOW position
(Tortoise or slow) 1/3 of the way towards the HIGH
position (Rabbit or fast).
4- Turn the engine switch to "ON" B.17.
5- Pull slowly on the starter handle B.12 until feeling
resistance, then pull sharply.
WARNING: Do not allow the starter handle to
snap back, but guide it gently back through its
return movement.
6- If the choke was in the CLOSE position (cold
engine), move it gradually to the OPEN position
as the engine temperature rises.
7- Move the throttle towards the left High (Rabbit or
fast) position B.11.
4.3 USE OF THE MOTOR-DRIVEN PUMP
During initial use or if the motor-driven pump has not
been run for a while, let it warm up for 5 minutes
before starting work. This procedure helps your
engine to last a long time.
DANGER: Risk of electrocution
Do not use the motor-driven pump in snow or rain.
Do not handle it with damp or wet hands/feet. Do
not use it barefoot at the risk of electrocution. Never
point a pressure washer at the motor-driven pump as
this may result in an electric shock.
DANGER: Risk of injury
To avoid bodily harm, do not let anyone near the
motor-driven pump wearing loose clothing, ties,
chains or with long hair.
DANGER: Hot surfaces
Do not touch the engine and other hot parts of
the motor-driven pump while it is running or just
after stopping it. The combustion exhaust pipe
reaches very high temperatures. Do not remove the
protection from these parts.
WARNING: Do not handle the motor-driven pump
when it is running. When necessary, always turn
off the engine.
