Warning
Prior to starting the pump, carefully
read the entire user's manual before
first use and keep it with the product
so that the user can become acquain-
ted with it. If you lend or sell the
product to somebody, include this
user's manual with it. Prevent this
user's manual from being damaged.
While using the pump, the user and
persons in the vicinity must use certified
ear protection with a sufficient level of
protection. Exposure to higher noise levels
may cause permanent hearing damage.
The pump must not be operated in
an unventilated environment, e.g. in
indoor areas, in deep outdoor trenches,
holes, etc. because there exists a risk of
poisoning by unventilated exhaust gases.
Carbon monoxide is fatally poisonous.
Do not touch the hot surfaces. The
engine and the exhaust pipe are very
hot, risk of burns.
Protect the pump against rain and
contact with water.
Prevent access to any flame or spark
sources, particularly when adding fuel.
Do not smoke.
Attention, the machine contains elect-
rical devices. Risk of injury by electrical
shock in the case of improper handling.
Required oil level in the crankcase.
Water flow rate control (engine power)
using a lever. Lever position (rabbit
symbol) - highest flow rate, turtle
position - lowest flow rate.
Top symbol: Carburettor control lever.
To start a cold engine, set the lever
in the direction of the arrow - after
starting the engine, set it back.
Bottom symbol: symbol for opening/
closing petrol supply. Setting the lever
in the direction of the drop will open
the fuel supply, in the opposite positi-
on the fuel supply is shut off.
SN: (serial
number)
The year and month of manufacture
and the serial number of the pump is
provided on the engine.
Starting the engine
1. Open the fuel supply by setting the fuel tap lever to
the right (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6
2. Set the engine switch to the ON position (ON, 1) (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7
3. Set the choke lever to the left to the ON position (Fig.
8). It is not necessary to engage the choke for starting
a warm engine or at high ambient temperatures.
petrol of dubious quality and origin. Prevent dust,
impurities and water from entering into the fuel tank.
• Prior to storage longer than 1 month, drain any remai-
ning fuel from the fuel tank and purge any petrol from
the carburettor.
• Defects resulting from the use of an incorrect petrol
type, dirty, contaminated or stale petrol will not be
covered by the warranty.
• In the event of a fire, use a powder, foam or specified
type of fire extinguisher to put it out.
FILLING UP WITH FUEL
1. Screw off the fuel tank cap and visually inspect the
fuel level in the fuel tank.
2. In the event that the amount of fuel is insufficient, use
a funnel to add more fuel. The petrol tank capacity is
3.6 litres. Do not fill the petrol tank past the max. capa-
city level. Filling past the maximum capacity level will
result in fuel leaking out even through a closed cap.
3. After adding fuel, put the petrol tank cap back on and
close it securely.
USING PETROL CONTAINING ALCOHOL
In the event that you decide to use petrol containing alcohol,
ensure that the octane number is greater than 95 – since blen-
ding in alcohol reduces this number. Only use petrol containing
ethanol, and with a max. ethanol content of up to 10%. Never
use petrol with additives such as methanol (methyl alcohol),
with an anti-corrosion agent additive or a methanol solvent or
petrol with an ethanol content greater than 10%.
Defects resulting from the use of such fuel substances are
not covered by the warranty. Please inform yourself about
the content of these substances in the fuel.
5. Tightening nuts and bolts
Check that all bolts are tightened. If necessary, tighten
and secure them.
6. Connecting the suction hose
It is possible to use standard hoses, fittings and gasket seals.
A suction hose must have a reinforced structure that pre-
vents it from deforming during operation. We recommend
adjusting the length of the suction hose so that it is not
too long, since the performance of the pump is best when
it is located as close to the water level as possible. Also the
flooding time depends on the length of the suction hose.
Mount the inlet strainer on the end of the hose using a clamp.
ATTENTION:
Always mount the inlet strainer on the suction hose befo-
re starting the pump. The inlet strainer prevents sucking
in foreign objects, which could cause the hose to clog or
the pump to jam.
7. Connecting the delivery hose
It is possible to use standard hoses, fittings and gasket seals.
Due to losses resulting from the friction of the liquid against
the wall of the hose, we recommend shorter hoses.
Note Firmly tighten the thread to prevent spontaneous
disconnection during operation.
8. Flooding the pump with water
Before every use, it is necessary to fill the pump with
water (to flood it).
1. Screw out the bolt of the water-filling hole (15) and
pour clean water into the water-filling hole until it
starts pouring out through the water inlet.
2. Screw the water-filling hole bolt back into place and
tighten firmly.
ATTENTION:
Under no condition may the pump be operated without
first being filled (flooded) with water as extreme overhe-
ating would result. Running the pump dry causes damage
to the gasket seals. In the event that the pump runs dry,
immediately stop the engine and allow the pump to cool
down before pouring water into it.
Never use the pump for pumping extremely dirty water,
used oil, flammable and explosive substances, faeces,
septic tanks, edible liquids such as wine, milk, etc.
The maximum particle diameter in the sucked in water is
30 mm. It is recommended, however, not to pump water
with a high content of solid and sharp particles since these
result in increase wear and tear on the pump (static and
moving parts, backflow valves). Defects arising due to this
type of wear and tear are not covered by the warranty.
ATTENTION:
Never use the pump without the inlet strainer. There is a danger
of serious damage to the pump and voiding of the warranty!
When you have finished using the pump, drain the water
out of it by unscrewing the drain hole plug (6). Screw out
the water-filling hole plug and rinse out the pump with
clean water, allow the water to drain out and screw the
drain and water-filling plugs back on.
