4. OPERATION
4.1 Before operation
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to take a few
moments to check its condition before you operate the pump. Be sure to take care of any problem you
find, or have your service dealer to correct it.
Make sure the pump is on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
To prevent fire hazards, keep the pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from building walls and other
equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Never run the
engine in a closed garage or confined area.
CAUTION
:
Improperly maintaining this pump, or failing to correct a problem before
operation, could
cause a malfunction in which you could be seriously injured.
Always perform a preparation inspection before each operation, and correct any
problem.
4.1.1 Check the Condition of the Pump
Look for signs of damage.
Look around and underneath the pump for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the engine muffler, and recoil
starter.
4.1.2 Check the Suction and discharge Hoses
Check the general condition of the hose. Be sure the hoses are in serviceable
condition before connecting them to the pump. Remember that the suction hose must
be reinforced construction to prevent hose collapse.
Check that the sealing washer in the suction hose connector is in good condition.
Check that the hose connectors and clamps are securely installed.
Check that the filter is in good condition and is installed on the suction hose.
4.1.3 Check the engine
Check the oil level. To avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown by the
engine oil alarm system, always check the engine oil level before startup.
Check the air cleaner. A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine and pump performance.
Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operation
interruptions for refueling.
4.2 Starting the Engine
4.2.1 Prime the pump.
4.2.2 Move the fuel cock to the
ON
position.
4.2.3 To start a cold engine, move the choke level to the
CLOSED
position. To restart a warm
engine, leave the choke level in the
OPEN
position.
