5.  DESCRIPTION OF DEVICES

 

Initial charge of battery 

The battery can be used immediately after filling cells with electrolyte. 

Be sure not to open the battery after filling it with electrolyte. 

Refer to the instruction of the battery. 

 

Before charging the battery, turn the main switch OFF. 

 

When  starting  the  pump  operation,  be  sure  to  remove  the 

battery  charger  plug  from  the  socket  before  turning  the  main 

switch ON. 

 

The socket is for a battery and a floodlight. 

 

Do  not  connect a  cigarette  lighter  to  the  socket,  because  it  is 

not a heat resistant object. 

 

Fuse box 

Security fuse is installed for electrical circuit in the 

fuse box. 
Fuse is in the yellow color fuse box 

*Fuse : 7.5A 

 
 

Manual starter

 

If the engine does not start with the starter motor, 

use the manual starter.

 

 
 
 
 

 

Personal injuries may occur. 

 

When  you  start  the  engine  using  the  manual  starter,  pull  the 

starter handle in a breath when you feel the handle heavier. 

 

Do not pull the manual starter handle when the pump is running. 

Otherwise, the manual starter may be damaged. 

 

In case engine will not start due to lack of fuel, squeeze primer 

bulb several time, and try starting again.
