Translation of the Original Operating Instructions
5
At every start of the pump, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and standing firmly. The unit must
always be positioned upright on an even surface. The petrol engine pump must only be operated in flood-proof
areas.
Please select the operating location of the pump in such a manner that leaking fuel or motor oil cannot cause any
damage. When using it for ponds, basins, construction pits, watercourses or in similar applications, the pump has
to be secured against falling in.
Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. Make sure all screws are firmly tightened, and also check the
proper condition of all connections. A defective unit or a damaged pump must not be used. In any case of
damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service staff.
6.2.
Fuel and fuelling
Depending on the model being used, petrol engine pumps are operated with petrol or a
petrol/oil mixture. You should never use any fuels other than those specified in the technical
details of your product.
During fuelling, smoking is not allowed, and please keep away open flames. Do not inhale the
vapours.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. Depending on the model being used, petrol engine pumps from T.I.P. are
operated with petrol or a petrol/oil mixture. The required type of fuel is stated in the technical details of the specific
model. Please do not use fuel grades types other the one mentioned for your product.
Do not fill in fuel while the engine is running. Stop the pump prior to each fuelling cycle and allow at least five
minutes for the unit to cool down before you start fuelling. During fuelling, the device has to be standing upright on
an even surface in order to avoid spilling or leaking of fuel. Fuelling should only be performed in a sufficiently
ventilated environment. Prior to starting the engine, please wipe off any petrol spillage carefully.
During fuelling, smoking is not allowed, and please keep away open flames. Do not inhale the vapors.
6.3.
Motor oil
If you are using a unit with auto-lubrication, please check the oil level prior to each use.
When topping up motor oil, smoking is not allowed, and please keep away open flames. Do
not inhale the vapors.
When using units with auto-lubrication, please check the oil level prior to each start using the dipstick provided.
During the oil level check, the device has to be positioned level, must not be running and should have cooled
down. Please make absolutely sure that the oil level is within the indicated limits of the minimum and maximum
level. If required, top up oil through the filling opening into the oil tank. Be sure to use only high-quality fully
synthetic 15W-30 grade motor oil. Too much oil may be as harmful as too little - for instance because of the
hazard of overheating or the possibility of an oil leakage. If too much oil is in the tank, please reduce the oil
quantity down to the proper level.
Do not top up motor oil while the engine is running. To top up oil, the pump should always be switched off, then
allow five minutes for the unit to cool down. When filling in motor oil, the device has to be positioned upright on an
even surface to avoid any spilling or leaking of motor oil. Prior to starting the engine, please wipe off any motor oil
spillage carefully.
During filling in motor oil, smoking is not allowed, and please keep away open flames. Do not inhale the vapours.
In the case of the units operated with a petrol/oil mixture, the motor oil is a part of the mixture. The mixture ratio
indicated in the technical details has to be observed carefully. Please do not use any motor oil grade other than
the one referred to in the technical details.
Low-oil safety feature
The low-oil safety feature serves to avoid damage to the engine in case there is insufficient engine oil in the crankcase.
Before the engine oil level falls below the safety limit, the low-oil safety feature automatically switches the engine off (the
motor switch remains in the ON position when this happens).
6.4.
Filling the pump with water, venting the system
Prior to putting the pump into operation for the very first time, the pump
housing should be fully vented - i.e. filled with water - even in the case of self-
priming units. If this venting is omitted, the pump will not suck in the liquid to be
discharged. It is highly recommendable, yet not mandatory, to vent the intake
line as well, i.e. to fill it with water.
