PREVENTING DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT
The following recommendations will help prevent damage to
your equipment:
1. Rinse the pump with clean water if the pump has been used
to pump salt or dirty water or water with a high mineral content
or which contains residue or foam-injected water. Check to
make sure all residue is removed for using the pump again.
2. Always vacuum water with a suction hose filter.
3. Drain all the water from the pump, collectors and lines in
freezing weather. You can also pour a little anti-freeze into the
pump and have it circulate through the pump and pipe system.
4. Let the motor heat up before using the unit at maximum
performance.
5. Always use lead-free gas or gas at the octane recommended
by the manufacturer.
6. Always make sure the correct quantity of oil has been
blended with the gasoline. Read the manual for the exact
percentage of oil to be blended.
7. Pumps must not be operated without water or without
releasing the water. Operate the pump so it does not overheat
and cause damage to the seals or inside of the pump.
8. Make sure to correctly fill the pump before starting it and
avoid closing the water release when the pump is on.
9. Use replacement parts supplied by Vallfirest to avoid damage
and/or lose the warranty covering this product.
