FUEL TANK
The fuel tank is mounted at the L.H.-side of the unit with a capacity of 14 litres.
Check that a sufficient quantity of fuel is present for the anticipated requirements.
No fuel tap is fitted due to the position of the fuel tank. Fuel is drawn from the tank by the engine
fuel pump when the engine is running.
The fuel-level gauge is incorporated in the screw-on filler cap.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT USE LEADED FUEL – The ignition timing is set for the use of
UNLEADED GASOLINE.
Note:
The fuel tank is connected to the engine via a quick-release connector which can be
unfastened to allow an external tank to be connected.
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE (Optional)
The raw-water pump system can incorporate a TRV42 Thermal Relief Valve.
Should the pump-water temperature exceed 42°C, the valve releases water via a transfer pipe into
the silencer. The resultant excess vapour (steam) produced provides a visual indication of excess
pump-water temperature. Alternatively the pipework may be modified to discharge the water to the
ground.
Note:
This situation can occur if the pump is left running for excessive periods of time with the
hose-nozzle controls or the discharge valves in the closed position.
