Pump Performance; Starting The Engine - Honda WMP20XE Manuel De L'utilisateur

PUMP PERFORMANCE

The maximum pump discharge capacity is determined when pumping
clear water at 0 meters total head and at sea level. As the total head
[1] (discharge head [2] + suction head [3]) increases, pump discharge
capacity decreases (see figure). If the pump is used at higher
elevations, pump discharge capacity may also decrease. Other
factors affecting pump discharge capacity are:
• The type of chemical being pumped.
• The length and type of the suction and discharge hose used.

Oil Alert® System
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by
an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in
the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will
automatically shut down the engine (the ignition switch will remain in
the ON position).
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the oil level (page 8)
before troubleshooting in other areas.
