Neptun NBP 18, Original Operating Instructions

Page: 15 / 160

6.2 Intake process
앬 During the priming process, the shut-off devices
present in the pressure pipe (spray nozzles,
valves etc.) must be completely open so that the
air in the suction pipe can escape freely.
앬 Depending on the suction height and the air
quantity in the suction pipe, the initial priming
process can last for approx. 0.5 min. – 5 min. In
the case of longer priming periods, top up again
with water.
앬 If the pump is removed after use, it is essential
that it is filled with water again the next time it is
connected and started.
6.3 Stopping the engine
앬 Set the On/Off switch to “OFF”.
앬 Close the petrol cock.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage and
ordering of spare parts
Disconnect the spark plug boot before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work!
7.1 Cleaning
n
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
n
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
n
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
