9. When starting the machine, be sure that nothing is in a position to be hit by the operator's
hand or arms.
10. Avoid contacting the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Keep clear of all rotation
parts.
11. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before working on any part of the
machine to prevent accident at starting.
SETTING UP THE PUMP
Before starting the engine, sufficiently fill engine oil and fuel in the
engine. All connections on the suction side of the pump must be air
tight, so air cannot leak into the suction. In addition, the suction
hose or pipe must be non-collapsible. If a pipe is to be used with an
engine-driven pump, always connect a short piece of flexible hose
between the pump and the pipe, so the pump will be free to float on
its springs.
PUT THE SUCTION STRAINER
ONTO THE END OF THE SUCTION HOSE AND
NEVER USE PUMP WITHOUT IT
FILL PUMP WITH CLEAN WATER
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS can prime only when they contain water. USE
CLEAN WATER for priming. Nevertheless, contaminated and extremely
muddy liquids can be pumped satisfactorily provided clean water is used for
priming.
Self priming is not instantaneous. The pump needs 60 to 150 seconds to prime, according to
the length of the suction hose, size of suction diameter.
It is best if the discharge hose is laid out straight. If it is necessary to curve the hose, be sure
there are no sharp bends or kinks, as such restrictions reduce the flow.
