Check The Suction And Discharge Hoses; Check The Engine - Husqvarna W 40P Operator's Manual

BEFORE OPERATION
Check the Suction and Discharge
• Check the general condition of the hoses. Be sure the hoses are in
serviceable condition before connecting them to the pump. Remember
that the suction hose must be reinforced construction to prevent hose
collapse.
• Check that the sealing washer in the suction hose connector is in good
condition.
• Check that the hose connectors and clamps are securely installed.
• Check that the strainer is in good condition and is installed on the
suction hose.
Check the Engine
• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of
oil or gasoline leaks.
• Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level can
cause engine damage.
• Check the air filter. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the
carburetor, reducing engine and pump performance.
• Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or
reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
