Mounting the pump
1.
Mount your pump on a flat spot close to the water source.
2.
Remove the self-priming plug and fill the pump with water until the water overflows. Then tighten
the plug again.
Caution!
Always tighten the self-priming plug, suction hose, and other connections. If they are
loose, air can get into the pump, making it unable to prime itself.
Fuel supply
•
Fill the fuel tank with fuel. The fuel is a mixture of branded petrol with at least 70 octane and
approved two-cylinder engine oil, the mixing ratio is 1:20–25. Make sure that petrol and oil are
of good quality.
•
Do not refill your pump without stopping the engine completely. Refuelling while the engine is
running may cause the pump to catch fire.
Starting the pump
Attention!
Never let the pump run dry.
1.
Move the fuel tap to the open position. Move the choke lever to the closed position.
2.
Move the throttle lever to the start position.
3.
Pull the starter rope with a firm pull.
Caution!
When starting the engine, the starter rope may recoil. Never pull the entire rope and
never let the rope run back by letting go of it.
4.
Once the engine has started, gradually move the choke lever to the open position.
Caution!
If too much fuel is sucked in, close the fuel tap and open the throttle and choke lever
fully. Then operate the pull starter.
5.
After starting the engine, check that the water in the intake hose to the pump is rising. The
amount of water can be adjusted by opening the throttle lever.
Caution!
The pump cannot initially draw in water if a valve connected on the pressure side is
blocked or a double hose is used.
