MAINTENANCE
1. Always maintain the pump in a clean condition, checking regularly for loose bolts etc.
2. Clean the air filter once every 50 hours of use (or more often in unusually dusty conditions)
as follows. Clean the foam filter element with domestic detergents and clean the mesh
element by knocking against a solid object or blow out any dust with a high pressure air jet.
Never operate the pump without the air cleaner installed as this would cause premature
wear to the engine.
3. Replace the spark plug after the first month or every 50 hours of use. Check when installing
that the spark plug has the correct clearance by measuring with a feeler gauge and adjusting
the side electrode as required. Clearance should be 0.70-0.80mm. The recommended spark
plug for both the PW2 and PW3 pump is RK34200/168F.
CHANGING THE OIL
The oil in the engine should be changed after the first 20 hours use and thereafter every 6
months or 100 running hours. Remove the dipstick and drain plug and then drain the oil. Re-fill
and check the level as described on page 5.
CAUTION: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO USED OIL IS DANGEROUS, ALWAYS WASH YOUR
HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING USED OIL
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
One of the most damaging sources of pollution is oil. Do not throw away used oil with domestic
refuse or flush down a sink or drain. Collect old oil in a leak-proof container and take it to your
local waste disposal site.
STORAGE & HANDLING
After use, drain the pump body whenever there is danger of freezing, and if the pump has been
used with contaminated or salty water, It should be thoroughly flushed with clean water following
use, both inside and out and drained before replacing the drain plug. Always transport the pump
with the fuel cock turned off and keep the unit level to prevent any fuel from spilling.
If the pump is not to be used for some time, it should be flushed thoroughly with clean water, and
drained completely before storing in a clean dry environment. Additionally, it should be prepared
as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank and carburettor completely by opening the drain plug in the carburettor
float chamber and draining all remaining fuel into a suitable container ensuring the fuel shut-
off valve is open.
2. Remove the spark plug, and pour 2-3 teaspoons of light oil into the cylinder through the
spark plug hole.
3. Pull the starter recoil rope slowly 2 or 3 times so that the oil is deposited on the cylinder
walls and replace the spark plug. For longer term storage, use the starter to turn the engine
until the triangle mark on the starter wheel lines up with the starter screw hole. In this
location both the inlet and exhaust valves are closed which may prevent the engine from
suffering internal corrosion during storage.
