4.4 USE AT ALTITUDE
At altitude, meaning in a place that is located
well above sea level, the mixture of air and petrol
produced by a standard carburettor is very thick
leading to reduced engine output and increased
petrol consumption.
In these conditions, to increase engine output,
use a narrower flexible connection and adjust the
minimum engine speed. If the motor-driven pump
is used regularly in places over 1000 m above sea
level, contact the local distributor to purchase a
suitable carburettor for use at altitude.
In any case, even with a flexible connection of the
required dimensions, the engine power will drop
by 3.5% for every 300 m of altitude. If you do not
change the flexible connection or if you do not adjust
the minimum speed, the effects of altitude on the
engine power will be clear.
WARNING: Using the motor-driven pump at very
high altitude, without following the instructions
given in the paragraph above, will cause a
reduction in flow, overheating and considerable
damage to your motor-driven pump.
4.5 STOPPING THE ENGINE - SEE FIG.B
Comment: To stop the engine in an emergency,
simply turn the engine switch to OFF B.17.
In other cases, follow the procedure explained
below:
NB: Before stopping the motor-driven pump, it is
recommended to let it idle for a few minutes, allowing
the engine temperature to drop.
1- Turn the throttle completely to the right (on LOW)
B.11.
2- Turn the engine start-up button (engine switch) to
OFF B.17.
3- Close the petrol valve (OFF – Close) B.14.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY
In order to maintain optimum flow and help your
motor-driven pump last a long time, it is essential
to perform regular checks and make the required
modifications. The recommended time intervals
between each maintenance period are given in an
appendix.
DANGER: Electrocution
Do not disconnect the spark plug cable to switch off
the engine as there is a risk of electrocution. Before
any maintenance work, stop the engine and remove
the engine cable.
DANGER: Hot surfaces
Do not touch the engine or other hot parts when the
motor-driven pump is working or just after stopping
it.
The gas that is given off by the exhaust pipes
reaches very high temperatures. Do not remove the
protection surrounding these parts.
PROHIBITION: Handling or Repair
Handling and repairs must be performed by an
approved technical department. Inexperienced
people must not handle the motor-driven pump. The
user should only handle the device as instructed
in the manual. Under no circumstances will the
manufacturer be held responsible for any handling
undertaken by the user that does not feature in the
manual.
WARNING
• Before starting any maintenance operations, please
make sure that the engine is switched off.
• If, for any reason, the operation must be performed
with the engine running, make sure that the pump
is in a well-ventilated place to avoid any risk of
fainting or death linked to the carbon monoxide
contained in the exhaust gases.
• If the pump is used to transfer cloudy water with
possible deposits, clean it with demineralised
water after finishing the operation. This will reduce
the risk of sediment deposits.
• Use the right parts and tools for each maintenance
task. If the procedure is not followed, you might
damage the pump.
• Checks and maintenance should be more frequent
(particularly the air filter) when using the pump in a
dirty environment.
• If you do not have the right tools or knowledge
for these maintenance operations, contact an
approved distributor to run the checks and the tests
described below. If you believe you are capable of
performing the tests, always use the maintenance
manual as a guide.
5.2 OIL CHANGE - SEE FIG.H
Changing the oil is easy and fast when the engine is
still warm (be careful not to burn yourself).
1- Place a container under the oil outlet plugs to
collect the used oil.
2- To let the oil flow, remove the dipstick H.3 and
B.15 (FIG.B).
3- Remove the bleed screw H.1 and B.16 (FIG.B). Do
not lose the drain plug seal H.2.
4- Let the oil flow out.
5- Retighten the bleed screw.
6- Add clean oil up to the required level. Check the
technical characteristics if necessary.
7- Screw the dipstick back in place. (If you get oil on
your hands, wash thoroughly with soap).
Used oil should be disposed of appropriately,
abiding by environmental regulations.
