Before starting to use Warning (1) Make sure that all standard equipment/accessories are included in the package. (→ p.29 - p.31 “Specifications”) (2) Pour electrolytic solution into the battery. (→p.21 “ How to handle the battery and charger”) ( ”M” Specifications does not require this procedure) (3) Connect the battery.
Preparation for operation 1. Put in fuel. Danger Put regular unleaded gasoline into the fuel tank. (Due to the oil injection system, no mixing with 2-cycle engine oil is needed.) Tank capacity: 11 L You can confirm the amount of fuel with the gauge on the tank.

3. Set up the pump. Please be warned on the following things. Caution (1) When moving the pump, carry it holding the carriage handle properly. (2) As the muffler is positioned in the bottom part, do not put the pump on something such as dry grass.
Operation 1. Starting Water Main Water supply lever discharge switch (1) Make sure that the throttle dial 1 is valve set at the position of “Starting/Low Throttle Speed”. dial (2) Set the main switch to 2 “Operation”. When starter motor starts to operate, turn the 2 switch further to “Starting”.

2. Water Delivery/ Water Discharge (1) After engine starts, set the throttle dial 1 at the position of “water delivery” and pull the water delivery lever 3 toward “water delivery” to start the operation of vacuum pump. (2) After confirming that the water is discharged from the exhaust hose of vacuum pump continually, return the water delivery lever to the direction of “water discharge”...

5. For smooth water discharge, this fire fighting pump is equipped with the air bleeding device which can bleed the air from the cooling water pipe while delivering the water. No problem in using the pure water, however, the operation surrounded by the earth and sand might cause the problem in clogging up the air bleeding device.
Page 15
5. For longer dry running. Storing the cooling water in cylinder allows the dry running with idling condition for several minutes. If you want to operate in this way, leave the water when draining water after the operation while keeping the cylinder drain cock closed. Furthermore, when operating in this way during the cold season, make sure to put the antifreeze into the cylinder.
Water delivery from a fire hydrant/ Relaying water delivery 1. Water delivery from a fire hydrant (1) The capability of water delivery from a fire hydrant In case of water delivery from a fire hydrant, make sure the fire hydrant can provide enough water for water discharge.
Page 17
2. Relaying water delivery In case of the wood fire or urban fire with a remote water source, relaying water delivery connecting more pumps in series would be applied. During the relaying water delivery, the pump set by the water source (parent pump) and the pump set on the other side (child pump) need to be operated together and you should know various points to make note of beside the normal operation.
Rabbit Monitor Rabbit monitor on the operation panel allows integrated control for operational condition of pump. With the warning display or emergency shutdown function in case of abnormal condition, you can use the pump safely. 1. How to check the Monitor Operation In setting the main switch to “Operation”, LED lights on monitor except “F1 Sensor”...

4. How to handle the battery and charger (1) Battery The accessory battery is a sealed battery. After pouring the electrolytic solution into the battery, you can use it as it is, however charge the battery if the battery is not enough for starting the engine during the cold season in wintertime.
Points to be careful about in cold season 1. Notice for housing/safekeeping (1) Choose the good quality fuel. (Higher quality gasoline has higher volatility that makes it easier to start the operation.) (2) Keep the body of pump, vacuum pump and muffler free Antifreeze Solution from freezing.
Periodic inspection To maintain the full performance of Rabbit Portable Fire Fighting Pump, please take a periodic inspection by the certified mechanic for portable fire fighting pump maintenance every six months. Some parts used for the portable fire pump deteriorates its function due to the time degradation, even if you cannot find the problem on the surface.

< How to check the governor oil> Remove the oil pump and pour the oil into the bolt port until the oil flows out suggested in the right picture. Mobile oil for vehicle SAE #30 / #20 (winter season) Regulated amount: 50 ml. (Notice) Please apply the appropriate lubrication oil such as SAE5W30 or SAE10W30 in the cold place during the winter season.
