5. Before starting the equipment

Fit the carry handle as shown in Figure 4-5.
As a basic principle, we recommend the use of
a preliminary fi lter and a suction set with suction
hose, suction strainer and non-return valve, in
order to prevent long priming periods and unne-
cessary damage to the pump as a result of stones
and solid foreign bodies.
5.1 Preparing the machine
•
Fill the engine with engine oil (see also point
7.2.1 Oil change).
•
Fill the tank with petrol.
•
Place the machine on a flat, firm surface.

5.2 Connecting and routing the intake and
discharge lines
•
Connect the intake line to the intake connec-
tion (Figure 1 / Item 5) and the discharge line
to the discharge connection (Figure 1 / Item
4).
•
Position the intake line so that it rises from
the water withdrawal point to the pump. It is
essential that you do not route the intake line
above the height of the pump. Air bubbles in
the intake line will slow down and prevent the
intake process.
•
Install the intake and discharge lines in such
a way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the pump.
•
The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
pump will not run dry.
•
A leaking intake line will draw in air and there-
fore not draw in any water.
•
Do not draw in any foreign bodies (sand,
etc.). If necessary install an initial filter.

6. Operation

The pump must be fi lled with the transport fl uid at
the fi ller neck (Figure 1 / Item 3) before the engine
is started.
Note: We advise that you install a non-return valve
in the intake line and fi ll it with water before you
start the machine for the fi rst time.
6.1 Starting the engine
1. Set the On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 10) to
"ON".
2. Set the petrol cock (Figure 6 / Item A) to the
"ON" position.
3. If the engine is cold, set the choke lever (Fi-
gure 6 / Item B) to "Choke".
4. Move the throttle lever (Figure 6 / Item C) to
the center position.
5. Pull the starter cord (Figure 6 / Item D) until
the engine starts.
6. When the engine has been running for ap-
prox. 30 seconds, move the choke lever to
"Run".
If the engine is warm, leave the choke lever in the
"Run" position when starting.
