Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this quality product.
To minimise the risk of injury we urge that our clients
take some basic safety precautions when using this device. Please read the operation instruc-
tions carefully and make sure you have understood its content.
Keep these operation instructions safe.
Safety instructions
•
The motor pump is designed to pump water and neutral liquids at room temperature. Any other
use, not being in accordance with the intended use, can lead to damage.
•
The pump was designed for private use in the home and garden and is not suitable for com-
mercial, craft, or industrial use.
•
Do not use the pump to fill containers that may explode under excess pressure.
•
Only use the pump in its intended performance range. Overloading the pump can cause dam-
age.
•
Keep children and animals away from the work area when working with the pump.
•
Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with the operation and safety instructions to operate
the pump.
•
This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sen-
sory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the device by a person responsible for their safety.
•
Keep the work area clean and well lit. An untidy and poorly lit work area increases the risk of
accidents.
•
Check the pump (especially the motor) for damage before each operation. If the pumps func-
tionality is limited, it must no longer be used. Have the damage repaired by a qualified specialist
before putting the pump back into operation.
•
Before starting, make sure that all attachments (silencer, tank cap, spark plug, etc.) are properly
mounted and functional.
•
Always place the pump on a level and firm surface to prevent it from slipping or tipping over. If
possible, secure the pump to the ground.
•
Caution!
The pump and suction pipe must be filled with water before each start to prevent the
pump from overheating. Overheating can damage the seals and cause water to enter the motor.
•
Never allow the pump to run dry. Switch off the pump immediately when it stops pumping water.
Allow the pump to cool down and refill it with water before resuming operation.
•
Caution! Danger of burns!
During operation, the motor and its attachments (e.g., the exhaust)
can heat up considerably. After switching off, make sure that all parts have cooled down before
carrying out maintenance or cleaning work or storing the pump.
•
Ensure sufficient ventilation of the motor and place the pump at least 1
m away from other ob-
jects or buildings.
•
Do not place the pump near flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The heat of the motor or possible
sparking can ignite them.
•
Never clean the pump with flammable substances.
•
Refuel before starting the engine. Never remove the fuel tank cap when the engine is running
or still hot.
•
Do not overfill the tank. Fill the tank to a maximum of 3
cm below the filler neck.
•
Make sure that the tank is properly closed.
•
If petrol is spilled, do not start the engine. Remove the pump from the site of the spillage and
avoid any possible source of ignition. Remove the spilled petrol immediately and wait until the
fuel vapours have completely evaporated before placing and operating the pump again.
•
Caution! Danger of suffocation!
Do not leave the engine running in a closed room. There is
a risk of poisoning from carbon monoxide.
•
Caution! Fire hazard!
Never place objects on top of the engine or cover it during operation.
Ensure sufficient cooling and keep the cooling openings free of dirt and objects.
•
Wear appropriate protective equipment during work (respirator, non-slip work shoes, ear pro-
tection, safety glasses, etc.). Do not wear jewellery or loose clothing and tie long hair securely.
