OPERATION
PREOPERATION
Unpacking and completing the assembly should
be done on a flat and stable surface, with enough
space for moving the machine and its packaging,
always making use of suitable equipment. The as-
sembly should be carried out by trained personnel
at your nearest dealer shop, where necessary.
Fueling and lubrication
WARNING
The machine is delivered without oil and fuel.
This product is equipped with a 4-stroke engine
meaning gasoline should be used in fuel tank and
the engine should be filled with oil.
Fuel specifications: Unleaded gasoline or 90 octa-
ne of higher.
Fuel tank capacity: Refer to "TECHNICAL DATA
TABLE"
To fill the machine with fuel:
1. Remove the fuel tank cap.
2. Add fuel to the upper level of the fuel tank.
Leave a minimum 5 mm of space between the
top of the fuel and the inside edge of the tank
to allow for expansion. Half the length of the
fuel tank cap filter (Fig. 9) can also work as the
upper fuel level sign, where available.
3. Reposition the fuel tank cap and tighten appro-
priately.
WARNING
Always use clean container for storing fuel and do
not use fuel stored for more than a month.
Oil specifications: For general use (5°C - 38°C)
the recommended oil is 4-stroke engine oil SAE
10W30 (Fig. 8).
Engine oil capacity: Refer to "TECHNICAL DATA
TABLE"
To fill the engine with oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap (Fig. 10.1) from the en-
gine oil filler neck (Fig. 10.2). The bottom part
of it is the oil level indicator.
2. Gradually add enough oil to bring the oil level
to the lip of the oil filler neck, up to the upper
level (Fig. 10.3) and not lower than the lower
level (Fig. 10.4).
3. Reposition the oil filler cap and tighten appro-
priately.
WARNING
Use a funnel in order to avoid spilling fuel or oil.
Wipe off any spilled fuel and oil before starting
the engine.
Pump selection
The suitable pump model should be selected fir-
st according to the liquid to be pumped and then
according to the specific needs of the setup to be
used at. An experienced engineer should be able
to guide you by properly calculating the specific
needs of the setup that you plan to use the pump
for. Once the required data of flow and head lift
required is estimated, you can use the performan-
ce graphs (Fig. 25-34) to choose the most suitable
pump model.
Unit placement
The unit should be operated on stable and level
ground in order to avoid damage to the unit and
for it to be able to deliver maximum performan-
ce. Ideally the pump should be placed near the
water source level and you should use hoses no
longer than required for the job. The length, type
and size of the suction and discharge hoses can
significantly affect pump output performance.
Also note that as the suction head (Fig. 11.2) or
discharge head (Fig. 11.3) increases, resulting in
an increase on total head (Fig. 11.1), pump output
performance decreases. Minimizing suction head
by placing the pump near the water level is also
very important for reducing self-priming time.
