2.
Connect the discharge hose.
Use a commercially available hose, hose connector, and hose band. A
short, large-diameter hose is most efficient. Long or small-diameter
hose increases fluid friction and reduces pump output.
Tighten the hose band securely to prevent the hose from
disconnecting under high pressure.
3.
Check the engine oil level.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and
service life. Nondetergent or vegetable oils are not recommended.
Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine
stopped.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or an equiva-
lent high detergent premium quality
motor oil certified to meet or exceed
U.S. automobile manufacturer's re-
quirements for Service Classi-
fication SG, SF. (motor oils
classified SG, SF will show this des-
ignation on the container.)
Select the appropriate viscosity for
the average temperature in your
area.
