DISCHARGE HOSE SETUP
A discharge hose is optional, as the pumping force will propel the water away.
However, the discharge is uncontrolled. Adding a discharge hose will guide the
water to a specific location. The hose diameter must be larger than the pump’s
discharge port size.
1. Connect a hose to the pump’s
outlet (C). See Specifications
for the Max. Discharge Head
hose length.
2. Fix the end of the discharge
hose to prevent it from moving
around due to the force of the discharge.
OPERATION
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
NOTICE! The engine is not shipped with oil. Before starting the engine, add
oil according to the instructions in this manual. Starting the engine without
oil will damage the engine beyond repair.
Check the engine’s condition before operating to maximize the user’s safety and
the service life of the engine. Ensure that the engine is level and the switch is in
the OFF position before beginning the pre-operation checks.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING! Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area, even if the doors
or windows are open. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (see Carbon
Monoxide Precautions).
1. Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air filter are in place and secured.
2. Ensure the spark plug lead is securely connected to the spark plug, otherwise
unintentional sparking can result, causing a fire or electric shock.
3. Check the air filter (E). A dirty air filter will reduce engine performance.
4. Check that all protective covers and guards are in place.
5. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
