SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your own personal protection and for the safety of those around you, please read and ensure you
fully understand the following safety information. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that
he/she fully understands how to operate this equipment safely. If you are unsure about the safe and
correct use of our MSP, consult your supervisor.
CAUTION: Improper maintenance can be hazardous. Read and Understand
this section before you perform any maintenance, service or repairs.
Ensure, that all symbols on the machine, can always be clearly read.
Do not leave any tools or parts lying around on the work floor, as this can cause accidents.
Stationary power units and drives must have a distance of at least one metre from equipment,
buildings or other units.
Protect the unit against rain, snow or any other forms of moisture. This could cause damage or
malfunctions.
Only operate the unit on a dry surface. If water accumulates under the unit, you must switch off the
unit and let it dry properly.
When cleaning the machine, ensure that no water or cleaning detergents get into the engine.
When the machine is not being used for longer periods of time, then it must be stored in a dry and
clean area.
Make sure that the flexible shaft is not bent too severely and does not run over sharp edges.
Otherwise move the hose protection to the kink for protection.
Open flames and smoking are strictly prohibited in the immediate vicinity of the unit.
Make sure that waste, such as paper, dry leaves or grass do not accumulate around the
exhaust muffler. They can easily ignite.
Pay attention to your own safety and the safety of your colleagues.
Regular maintenance of the machine promotes safe operation.
The following safety-aspects specifically apply to those machines equipped with a petrol engine:
Do not use an MSP, fitted with a petrol engine, indoors or in poorly ventilated places, such as pits
etc. Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation in spaces which are surrounded by walls. Do not
inhale exhaust fumes. They contain toxic carbon monoxide that can lead to unconsciousness
or death.
Prior to starting the engine, the flexible shaft must be disconnected from the drive unit.

The drive drives the pump head by means of a flexible shaft.
The pump head sucks water through the suction strainer and pumps it through
the pressure hose.
OPERATION
Read and follow all the safety instructions at the beginning of this operation
manual. Improper use can result in injury or serious material damage.
Submersible pump connections
Make sure that all components are connected firmly:
Flexible shaft to drive unit.
Flexible shaft to pump.
Pressure hose to pump.
Otherwise this could result in damage to or malfunction of the submersible pump.
Checking before starting
Before you start the engine, check the following:
!
WARNING

Fuel level –the tank should be at least half full.
Oil level –the oil level must be between the lower and upper marks.
Air filter –replace any damaged parts.
Starting up
Prior to operating the submersible pump, the drive engine should have the correct operating
temperature (warm up for 2-3 minutes). Then switch the engine back off again.
Open the fuel tap by moving the fuel ON/OFF lever fully to the right.
If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving the choke lever fully to the left. If
restarting a warm engine, the choke is usually not required. However, if the engine has cooled to a
degree, partial choke may be required.
Turn the engine ON/OFF switch clockwise to the “1”position.
Set the throttle to the idle position by moving the throttle lever fully to the right.
Do not start the engine on full throttle, as the compactor will
vibrate as soon as the engine starts.
Taking a firm hold of the control handle with one hand, grasp the
recoil starter handle with the other. Pull the recoil starter until
engine resistance is felt, then let starter return.
Taking care not to pull the starter’s cope fully out, pull the starter
handle briskly.
Repeat until the engine fires.
Once the engine fires gradually, set the choke lever to the OFF position by moving it to the right.
To stop
Set the throttle to idle and turn the engine ON /OFF switch anticlockwise to the “0” position to stop
the engine. Then turn the fuel off.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and repair work must be carried out only to the extent described in this manual.
Before carrying out maintenance or repair work, switch off the engine and allow it to cool down. For
petrol-powered engines, you must pull off the spark plug connector.
Cleaning
Always keep the unit clean and be sure to clean it each time you have finished
using it. Clean the engine cooling fins when the engine has cooled down. Do not
use gasoline or solvents. Danger of explosion!
The air filter element should be cleaned because a clogged air cleaner can
cause poor engine starting, lack of power and shorten engine life substantially.
To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing (Figure 1),
remove the cover and take out air filter cartridge. If only cleaning of the air filter
is desired blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry
compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.
