During the oil level check, the device has to be positioned level, must not be running and should
have cooled down Please make absolutely sure that the oil level is within the indicated limits of
the minimum and maximum level If required, top up oil through the filling opening into the oil tank
Be sure to use only high-quality fully synthetic 10W-40 grade motor oil Too much oil may be as
harmful as too little - for instance because of the hazard of overheating or the possibility of an oil
leakage If too much oil is in the tank, please reduce the oil quantity down to the proper level
Do not top up motor oil while the engine is running To top up oil, the pump should always be
switched off, then allow five minutes for the unit to cool down When filling in motor oil, the device
has to be positioned upright on an even surface to avoid any spilling or leaking of motor oil Prior to
starting the engine, please wipe off any motor oil spillage carefully
During filling in motor oil, smoking is not allowed, and please keep away open flames
Do not inhale the vapours
In the case of the units operated with a petrol/oil mixture, the motor oil is a part of the mixture
The mixture ratio indicated in the technical details has to be observed carefully
Please do not use any motor oil grade other than the one referred to in the technical details
Low-oil safety featu e
The low-oil safety feature serves to avoid damage to the engine in case there is insufficient engine
oil in the crankcase
Before the engine oil level falls below the safety limit, the low-oil safety feature automatically
switches the engine off (the motor switch remains in the ON position when this happens)
5.4. Filling the pump with wate , venting the system
Prior to putting the pump into operation for the
very first time, the pump housing should be fully
vented - i e filled with water - even in the case
of selfpriming units If this venting is omitted,
the pump will not suck in the liquid to be
discharged It is highly recommendable, yet not
mandatory, to vent the intake line as well, i e to
fill it with water
Please use the filling opening to fill the pump housing with water Check to make sure that no
leakage is present Then close the filling opening airtight It is recommendable - but not
indispensable - to fill the intake line with water, too Petrol engine pumps are self-priming This
means that putting them to operation requires only the pump casing to be filled with water, i e not
necessarily the intake line, too However, in this case the pump will take some more minutes to
suck in the liquid to be discharged The additional filling of the intake line will facilitate and
accelerate the first suction cycle considerably If the intake line is not filled with liquid, it might be
necessary during putting to operation to fill the pump housing more than once This will depend on
