2. For Your Safety
V
Read the notes on safety on the Petrol-driven Motor Pump.
The silencer and exhaust system become very hot during
operation and remain hot for some time after turning off
the motor.
V
Do not touch the silencer and exhaust system when hot.
Petrol is combustible and explosive under certain conditions.
V
Do not smoke or work with naked flames or sparks when
pouring petrol into the fuel tank of your pump or in places
where petrol is stored.
V
Keep all flammable substances (such a petrol) and flam-
mable objects away from the pump during operation.
V
Do not overfill the fuel tank when filling your pump with
petrol.
V
Close the fuel tank securely after filling your pump with
petrol.
V
Wipe off any spilt petrol completely before starting the
motor.
V
Do not stand anything on the motor. This could cause
a fire.
Exhaust emissions contain poisonous carbon monoxide.
V
Do not breathe in exhaust emissions.
V
Never operate the pump in a closed room.
If you operate your pump for longer periods of time (> 5 min)
against the closed delivery side of the pump the water in the
pump may heat up. There is a risk of injury from hot water
scalding you.
V
Do not operate the pump for more than 5 minutes against
the closed delivery side of the pump.
V
Turn off the pump immediately if the liquid fails to flow.
Allowing the pump to run dry increases the wear and should be
avoided.
v
Switch off the pump immediately after all the liquid has been
pumped.
Sand and other abrasive materials in the liquid you are pumping
cause increased wear and reduce the performance of the pump.
v
Never operate the pump without the air filter.
(This causes the motor to wear more quickly).
v
To prevent corrosion after pumping saltwater rinse the pump
immediately with clean fresh water.
The minimum flow rate is 80 l / h (= 1.3 l / min). Do not connect
equipment with a lower flow rate.
When using the pump to increase water pressure, ensure that
the inner pressure does not exceed the maximum permissible
inner pressure of 6 bar (delivery side of the pump).
Add together the water output pressure you want to increase
and the pump pressure.
Example :
Pressure at the tap 2 bar. Pump pressure 3.5 bar.
Total pressure 5.5 bar.
Caution !
Risk of fire
and explosion
