suction or have effect on the power of the pump.
3. Do not install a valve or tap on the discharge hose.
If you proceed with such installation in order to control the water flow, then never turn off the
valve or tap during operation
4. Water will not be pumped if the discharged hose is obstructed, the sudden great pressure created
inside the pump may damage the pump.
5. If the pump is installed in a location where the discharge hose is likely to be stepped on or pressed,
please ensure to cover it with suitable protective covering.
6. Be sure to install the attached filter (strainer) at the head of the suction hose when it is in use.
7. Set the suction hose filter (strainer) under the water, but never allow it to touch the mud or sand.
8. Before use, please check whether each part is loosened or there is any petrol dripping in the fuel
tank.
9. Before starting the engine, make sure that there is no object that can get wet near the pump.
Remind all bystanders around it that the machine will start working
4.5- Starting the engine
1. Open fuel valve lever to ON position.
2. Open throttle lever to slow position (right).
3. Completely close the choke lever.
4. Turn the engine switch to ON position.
5. Operate the starter grip. Pull the starter grip rope lightly until you feel a resistance, then pull
briskly until engine starts. Return the starter rope gently. Repeat operation if necessary, and until
engine starts.
Tips: Do not pull starter grip rope over its full length. Return starter rope gently so as not to
damage the recoil starter.
6. Open the choke lever.
7. Gradually open the Throttle lever to fast position (left).
Remarks:
- Hold the engine firmly with your left hand, then pull out the starter handle with your right hand,
gently in the beginning until you feel the resistance, and then pull it out rapidly.
- Please do not pull out all the starting rope and do not release it rapidly to make the rope withdraw
after it was pulled out. Doing so will damage and/or breakdown the starter.
- If you restart the engine after it is stopped, please set the throttle to the "OFF" position.
Troubleshooting:
- If after three or four attempts, the engine still does not start, excessive fuel may have drowned the
spark plug. You can try to start without the choke, or disassemble the spark plug to dry the electrode
which may be submerged in fuel.
- If the electrode is dry upon dismantling (lack of gasoline), close the fuel cock, and then check the
sediment cup located under the carburetor.
Remove impurities and then check the gasoline flow by opening the fuel cock and assemble the cup,
paying attention to the condition of the seal
After the engine is started, turn on the choke throttle gradually and withdraw the throttle switch.
Leave the engine running for 1-2 minutes at low speed to heat the engine.
