off until cooling down on the designed points only - e.g. on
switches and handles.
During first 20 hours of operation, the brand new engine
must not be fully loaded. Operation at 2/3 of possible output
performance is recommended. Full throttle operation is now
permissible for short term only up to 10 minutes - e.g. for
starting due to suction operation.
Turning the engine off
Set the power controller (Fig. A/12) to Idle Throttle position
and set the ignition breaker (Fig. A/10) to OFF position. The
pump input is fitted with a valve that prevents leaking of
water from the pump after it is turned off. Stopping of the
back flow will result in shorter time for re-suction during the
next start. Therefore, the pump must not be primed again
during restart.
Decommissioning
Transport of the pump with the fuel tank filled is not
approved.
Discharge water in the pump from the relevant discharge
hole after use. Let the pump dry well to avoid damage due
to corrosion. Water entrapped in the pump may cause
damage if frozen.
If the device is transported, all fuel must be discharged.
Transport of the pump with the fuel tank filled is not
approved.
Care and maintenance
If possible, turn the engine off, remove the spark
plug shield and let the engine cool down before
maintenance. If the engine must be on during maintenance,
provide sufficient ventilation because the exhaust fumes are
toxic.
Regular maintenance and diligent care reduce the risk of
potential operation failures and contribute to improved
lifecycle of your machine. The engines consist of the up-to-
date technology and many rotary components exposed to
substantial mechanic, thermal as well as chemical effect of
environment and the combustion process. Use of correct,
high quality and clean operation liquids - fuel and engine oil
- is prevention against damage to the engine and operation
failures.
Abrasive substances in the delivered liquid, such as sand,
increase wear and tear and reduce total performance.
Installation of a pre-filter is highly recommended for
pumping of liquids with abrasive substances. The
recommended accessories filter sand and other similar
substances from the liquid effectively and reduce wear and
tear and improve lifecycle of the pump.
Oil check and replacement
Check for oil level before starting.
Oil must be replaced at least annually. Engine oil
deteriorates during this period despite the fact the engine is
not almost used. For oil replacement, discharge old oil and
pour new oil in the filling hole in the oil tank (for type and
quantity of oil - see Technical data). Use quality fully
synthetic engine oil SA 15W-30. Excessive amount of oil
has negative effect as well - (see quantity of oil - Technical
data).
Diligent care includes oil level check before use. Use
prescribed oil dipstick for inspection. During the oil level
check, the machine must stand flat, turned off and cooled
down. Make sure oil level does not exceed maximum quantity
and fall under minimum quantity required as indicated on the
dipstick. (For type and quantity of oil - see Technical data).
Please, observe local requirements applicable to disposal of
used oil.
If the engine operates, do not pour engine oil in it.
Before filling of the engine oil, turn the pump off and let it cool
down for at least 5 minutes. During pouring of the engine oil,
the machine must be placed on a flat surface in vertical position
to avoid engine oil leak. All leaked engine oil must be first
cleaned and then start up the engine.
Do not smoke and work with open flame when
pouring the engine oil. Do not breathe vapours.
Automatic Auto Stop activation (safety feature for low oil
level) for low oil level.
This technology automatically turns the engine off when the oil
level is lower than minimum required. The engine can be
restarted after sufficient quantity of engine oil is replenished.
When replenishing engine oil, adhere to all instructions related
to the engine oil and engine oil check as specified in this guide.
Ignition plug
Cleaning of the ignition plug and correction of distances of the
electrodes must be performed in six-month intervals or after
100 hours of operation. First, remove the ignition plug shield
before maintenance of the ignition plug. Then, screw the
ignition plug out using the ignition plug key. To ensure failure-
free operation, the dry ignition plug without burnt residues must
show distance of the electrodes 0.6 - 0.7 mm.
If necessary, clean the ignition plug. To remove the burnt
residues, use a fine wire brush. Distance of the electrodes must
be corrected by slight bending of the electrode. It is
recommended to use a new ignition plug in case of strong
accumulation or worn electrodes.
Checked, cleaned or a new ignition plug must be screwed first
manually to stop. Then, tighten the ignition plug using the
ignition plug key. Avoid excessive forces not to damage the
ignition plug due to torque. Finally, slide the ignition plug shield
back on the ignition plug.
Air filter
To clean the air filter, do not use gasoline or a thinner
with low flash point in any case due to fire and explosion
danger.
If the air filter is clogged, it prevents air flow to the carburettor.
To avoid operation failures of the carburettor, air filter must be
regularly checked and cleaned or replaced, if necessary.
Generally, checking of the air filter as far as clogging is
concerned is recommended before use. Cleaning is required in
three-month interval or after 50 hours of operation. When the
pump is operated in dirty or dusty environment, cleaning must
be performed in ten-hour intervals. Use a new air filter in six-
month interval or after 300 hours of operation.
Open air filter cabinet and remove the air filter before
maintenance. Wash the air filter with an inflammable thinner, if
necessary - e.g. detergent. To clean the air filter, do not use
gasoline or a thinner with low flash point in any case due to fire
and explosion danger. Let the air filter dry after cleaning.
Insert checked, cleaned or new air filter and close it again.
Do never use the pump without the air filter to avoid increased
wear and tear of the engine.
