Qualification
Except for thorough training by an expert for use of the
device, no special qualification is required.
Minimum age
The machine may be used by persons over 18 years and
trained in handling and function of the machine. Supervision
is required for persons from 16 to 18 years.
An exception is use by younger person if the use takes
place under supervision of an adult trainer in the course of
education.
Training
Use of the device requires corresponding guidance by an
expert or operation manual only. No special training is
required.
Transport and storing
•
For long-term storing, the machine must be thoroughly
cleaned and no unauthorized persons may have
access to the machine.
•
Secure the machine against turning over before each
transport.
Assembly/first commissioning
The gasoline engine pump is installed in a stable cage
made from steel tubes with vibration damper. These
devices must not be disassembled during operation
because they provide stability and reduce vibrations.
General installation instructions
All connection piping must be absolutely tight.
Leaking piping may influence operation of the pump
negatively and cause substantial damage.
During installation, the machine must not be
running.
All connection piping must be absolutely tight because
leaking piping may influence operation of the pump
negatively and cause substantial damage. Therefore, make
screw connections between the pump and the piping and
seal with Teflon tape. Use of the sealing material such as
Teflon tape will ensure airtight assembly.
Do not overtighten the screw joints to avoid damage. During
installation of the connection piping, make sure the pump is
free of any forces, weight, vibration, and stress.
Installation of the suction piping
The suction piping will transport the liquid to be
pumped up to the pump. Use the suction piping of diameter
identical to the pump suction connector. For pumping lift
with the difference between the pump and the pumped
liquid level of more than 4 metres, using of +¼‘‘ diameter is
recommended.
A filter must be installed at the input of the suction piping to
remove coarse impurities from water with potential of either
clogging or damaging the pump.
In addition, it is highly recommended to install the return
valve to prevent pressure leak after turning the pump off
and protecting the machine against damage due to
pressure surges. The return valve can be connected directly
on the pump suction connector or the suction piping input.
Installation on the suction piping input is favourable. The
suction piping can be easily deaerated by filling with water.
The suction piping input must always be located at least 0.30 m
under pumped liquid level to avoid air inlet. In addition to this,
pay attention to sufficient distance of the suction piping from soil
and streams, rivers, fishponds banks to avoid suction of stones,
plants etc.
Installation of the force piping
The force piping transports the liquid to be pumped from the
pump to the consumption point. To avoid losses from flow,
using of the force piping of at least identical diameter as the
pump connector is recommended.
Fixed installation
For fixed installation, attach the gasoline engine pump to a
suitable stable supporting surface. To reduce vibrations, it is
recommended to insert an anti-vibration material, e.g. rubber
layer, between the pump and the supporting surface.
Commissioning
Installation and visual control
Flue gases of the gasoline engine pump contain
odourless toxic carbon monoxide that may result in serious
health issues and death under extreme conditions. To protect
humans and animals, the machine must not be used in poorly
ventilated places and not in closed spaces. Generally, avoid
breathing of the flue gases.
Check the gasoline engine pump with respect to safety
before use. Do not use the machine if damaged.
The gasoline engine pump may only be used in areas
without risk of floods.
For each starting of the machine, it is necessary to make sure
the pump is installed safely and in a stable position. Always pay
attention to a flat surface under the pump, otherwise the oil low
level switch may be activated and starting is not enabled. The
gasoline engine pump may only be used in areas without risk of
floods.
Select the place of the pump installation so that no
environmental damage is caused by leaked fuel or engine oil. If
used in fish ponds, pits, construction pits, rivulets, streams and
similar places, the pump must be secured against fall.
Check the gasoline engine pump visually before use of the
pump. Pay attention to correct tightness of the bolts and perfect
condition of all connectors. Do not use the machine if damaged.
Fuel and fuelling/engine oil
The gasoline engine pump is powered by gasoline. Use
the fuel specified in the technical data applicable to your
product.
Do not smoke and work with open flame when
refuelling. Do not breathe vapours.
Gasoline and engine oil are toxic substances. Do not
swallow gasoline or engine oil and do not breathe vapours.
Avoid any direct contact of gasoline and engine oil with skin,
eyes, and clothes.
