drained by unscrewing Cap 4. Storing the pump filled with water over a long period of time will cause internal corrosion on the
pump blades and scale on rotating parts, therefore, reducing the pump’s life.
Start the engine and adjust the engine speed with the throttle. Refer to the
ENGINE section for more information on starting the engine. It’s necessary
for the engine to run at higher revolutions until the pump takes in water from
the source. The suction process can be seen through a transparent suction
hose. If the pump doesn’t exert pressure within 30 seconds after starting the
engine, turn-off the engine and follow the Troubleshooting instructions.
CAUTION: Draining water from a depth of more than 3 metres may require
water replenishment to the pump as described in the Putting in Operation
section.
Dry running for more than 60 seconds will cause pump
damage! WARNING: If the pump takes in air, it’s necessary
to remove the leakage on the suction pipe and repeat the
whole process of pouring water into the pump. Damage
caused to equipment due to non-compliance with this instruction the
warranty will be deemed invalid.
Engine
The engine MUST be filled with the correct amount of engine oil before its first
commissioning. For specifics refer to the Technical data section. Set the pump on a
horizontal surface. Open the oil sump plug, also fitted with the oil gauge. Fill the engine
with approximately ¾ of the oil amount required. Screw the plug back into the oil sump.
With the C switch se to the OFF position (see the figure below), cycle the engine by
pulling the starter cord. Remove the plug, wipe the gauge dry and check the engine oil
level.
CAUTION: To get the correct reading, the gauge must be fully screwed in place. Top
up the oil to achieve the final level between the MIN and MAX marks.
Remove the plug and fill the tank with petrol carefully. To ensure full performance of the
engine, use fresh petrol with the octane rating of 91 or higher. The physical properties of
old and vapid petrol are different and it may cause an uneven run of the engine or reduced pump performance.
Use clean and oil-free petrol only - your engine is a four-stroke type.
DANGER
When in operation, the engine
produces carbon monoxide,
which is a colourless and odourless poisonous gas. Inhalation of carbon monoxide may cause nausea,
headaches, dizziness, vomiting or even death! The device may be used outdoors only, with proper
ventilation ensured. It is also necessary to prevent ingress of exhaust gases into enclosed rooms via
unsealed openings. When working with the engine on, turn the device in such direction, where the
exhaust does not remain pointed at persons standing in the vicinity or any opening in nearby structures
(garages, galleries, cellars, etc.). When in operation, the engine produces waste heat, resulting in heat-up
of various engine components (exhaust, engine cylinder), which may cause serious burns. These
components may cause fire, when in contact with flammable materials.
DANGER
Petrol fumes are extremely flammable and explosive substances that max cause burns, fire or even
explosion, when handled improperly. Let the engine cool down for 5 minutes before adding petrol into
the tank. Then proceed with careful removal of the tank lid and start pouring the petrol in with caution.
NEVER fill the fuel up to the rim, since petrol warms up during engine operation and swells, which may
result in leakage through the lid and subsequent explosion of fire. NEVER tip the high-pressure device
into such position, where petrol may leak from the tank. NEVER attempt to start the engine with damaged
components in the fuel supply, ignition or safety features.
