BEFORE OPERATION
Check the Suction and Discharge Hoses
l
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.
l
Check that the sealing
washer
in the suction
hose connector
is in
good condition
(see page 17 ).
l
Check that the hose connectors
and clamps
are securely
installed
(see pages 17& 18).
l
Check that the strainer
is in good condition
and is installed
on the
suction
hose (see page 17 ).
Check the Engine
l
Check the oil level (see page 29 ). To avoid the inconvenience
of an
unexpected
shutdown
by the Oil Alert@ system,
always
check the
engine oil level before startup.
l
Check the air filter (see page32
). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow
to the carburetor,
reducing
engine and pump performance.
l
Check the fuel level (see page 27 ). Starting
with a full tank will help
to eliminate
or reduce operating
interruptions
for refueling.
