Operation of the unit
Before (first) start-up
•
Place the unit on a flat, solid surface, not tilting it more than 20
o
from the
proper vertical position.
•
Check the engine oil level (see section 3.2)
•
Fill the tank with fuel - to do this unscrew the tank cap and fill the tank
taking care not to pour fuel over the maximum level indicator i.e. the red
mark on the filter located in the tank filler hole.
Replace the filler cap by tightening it all the way.
•
Fill the pump with (clean) water - to do so, unscrew the filler cap and fill up
with water up to the cap.
Screw the water filler plug back on.
IMPORTANT: a running pump is cooled by the water flowing through it,
therefore it must not be started "dry" - risk of overheating and leakage!
