4. Carrying
The angle of carrying grip can be
changed by 90 degrees. Turn it so as to
be easy to carry.
○
When holding the carrying grip, do not touch the bend.

A finger may be pinched and wounded.
○
The fire pump must be carried or unloaded by 4 persons.

There is a fear of injury by dropping on foot, or suffering from lumbago.
5. Installation
(1) Install the pump on a flat place close to a water source.
○
Install the pump more than 3 m from combustibles.
○ Remove dried grass and other objects which may catch fire easily before
installing the pump.

If not, fire may break out by the heated muffler.
○
Do not install the pump indoors or in the tunnel or the like where is badly
ventilated.

If not, you may get poisoned by exhaust gas.
(2) Be sure to attach a strainer and a rattan basket to the water inlet of the water
suction pipe and position it more than 30 cm below the water level.
If it is positioned above the specified level, air may be sucked in preventing
water discharging.
(3) Arrange so that the water suction height is more than 3 m below the water
level as far as possible. When it is too high, the pumping capacity may
deteriorate or water may fall.
(4) Arrange the water suction pipe to go up toward the pump and tighten it
positively to the water inlet of the pump. If the pipe goes up or down unevenly,
water may not be discharged smoothly.
