Fitting the hoses
1.
Fit the collar clamps (B6) around the suction and discharge hoses.
2.
Fit the hose fittings (B5) on the pump suction port (B2) and the pump discharge port (B3) and secure them with clamps.
Always check that the fittings are sealed (risk of liquid not being aspirated correctly).
3.
Fit a collar clamp around the other end of the suction hose.
4.
Fit the suction strainer (B4) to the end of the suction hose and secure it with the clamp.
If the suction strainer is not used, it may cause serious damage to the motor pump.
4.5
Starting the motor pump
1.
Submerge the strainer (B4) fully into the liquid to be aspirated: if there is a risk of blockage, then place the suction strainer
on a stone base.
2.
Unscrew the filler cap on the pump (A3).
3.
Fill the pump body (A4-B1) with water before screwing the filler cap back onto the pump.
There must be liquid present in order to prime the pump and lubricate it: if there is no water in the pump body before start-up, this may
cause serious, irreparable damage to the motor pump.
4.
Screw the pump filler plug back on.
5.
If the outdoor temperature is low, or if the motor pump is cold, bring the choke lever (A6) to the "
Set the engine switch (A1) to "ON" and actuate the throttle lever (A7).
6.
7.
Activate the fuel priming bellows (A8) several times.
8.
Slowly pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A9) until there is some resistance then let it return gently.
9.
Then give the starter-recoil reel a good strong pull to start the motor.
If the motor pump does not start, repeat the operation until it starts up.
If the pump does not discharge any liquid, stop the motor pump and check the suction system.
10. Wait until the motor temperature starts to rise then, if the choke was used, move it slowly to the "
4.6
Using the motor pump
During operation:
1.
Monitor the motor pump and check regularly that the entire suction and discharge circuit is free of obstruction (foreign bodies,
incorrectly parked vehicles, etc.).
2.
Adjust the discharge head as necessary to ensure a sufficient flow rate.
3.
Ensure any valves which have been used are closed gently to prevent "hammering" which would damage the motor pump.
4.7
Adjusting the flow rate of the motor pump
The flow rate of the motor pump depends on a number of parameters: the motor speed, the suction and discharge head and the
quality of the liquid to be pumped all affect the flow rate of the motor pump.
To increase the flow rate of the motor pump:
1.
Place the throttle lever (A7) in the "MAX" position.
2.
Increase the head height.
4.8
Stopping the motor pump
1.
Return the throttle lever (A7) to its initial position.
2.
Move the switch (A1) to "OFF".
The motor pump stops.
3.
Disconnect the suction and discharge pipes and allow the liquid to flow out.
4.
Leave the motor pump to cool, ensuring that it is well ventilated (risk of fire or burns).
5.
Drain the motor pump then rinse it out when you have finished using it for the day.
4.9
Rinsing the motor pump
After the motor pump has stopped and cooled down:
1.
Set the switch (A1) to OFF.
2.
Drain the suction and discharge hoses, leaving the liquid to flow out.
3.
Remove the drain plug from the pump (A5) to empty the pump body (A4-B1) then refit the it once drainage is complete.
4.
Remove the filler cap from the pump (A3) and fill the pump body with fresh water.
5.
Slowly pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A9) several times until there is some resistance then let it return gently.
6.
Unscrew the drain plug on the pump and leave the water to flow out.
7.
Screw the filler cap and drain plug back on.
Repeat the operation if necessary.
8.
9.
Clean the suction strainer (B4): remove any dirt and rinse with fresh water.
To reduce the flow rate of the motor pump:
1.
2.
A = Head height (m) - B = Flow rate (L/min)
16/110
Place the throttle lever (A7) in the "MIN" position.
Decrease the head height.
