•Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result from contaminants
such as dust and dirt being drawn through the carburettor into the engine.
STEP 4. Check connection of the Suction and Discharge hoses
Ensure the hose clamp ring, hose coupler are firmly connected to the Suction Hose. Check that
the rubber seal is seated corrected onto the suction port. Install the strainer on the other end of
the suction hose with a hose band. Tighten securely.
•Always operate the water pump with the strainer installed on the end of the suction hose. The
strainer will exclude debris from clogging or damaging the pump impeller.
Check that the hose clamp ring of the discharge hose is firmly connected to the discharge port.
Check that the rubber seal is seated corrected onto the discharge port.
STEP 5. Check and Prime the water pump.
The pump chamber must be filled with clean water and primed prior to operating the water pump.
Unscrew the water filler cap at the top of the discharge port and fill with clean water.
•Never attempt to operate the water pump without priming the pump – overheating and rapid
pump and seal damage will result.
3. PRE-OPERA ION CHECK cont.
•Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
NOTE: The Low Oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below
the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable
to visually inspect the oil level on a daily and regularly basis.
STEP 2. Check the fuel level.
Use ONLY Diesel Fuel
Remove fuel tank cap (anti-clockwise). If the fuel level is low, refill the fuel tank.
Do not use petrol or add oil to the fuel tank. Do not use dirty or contaminated diesel fuel.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. After refuelling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
•Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
•Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks
in the area where the water pump is being refuelled.
•Do not overfill the fuel tank - there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark. After refuelling,
make sure the fuel filler cap is tightened securely.
•Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour may ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
•Avoid repeated or prolonged contact of diesel fuel with skin or breathing of fuel vapour.
•KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
•Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels other than
diesel fuel, are not covered under the warranty policy.
