Safety Information and Precautions /!\ DANGER Vehicle exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless lethal gas. Only run engines in well-ventilated areas and avoid breathing exhaust gases. Extended breathing of exhaust gases will cause serious injury or death.
Page 10
Chemicals can cause harmful byproducts. Use only approved chemicals (refer to operator’s manual). Do not swallow or ingest any chemicals. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors. Do not store chemicals on or in the machine. Improper use of chemicals can cause injury. Over exposure can have harmful effect on eyes, skin, respiratory system and possible unconsciousness and asphyxiation.

Batteries produce explosive gases and can explode. Wear safety goggles when working on or near batteries. Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep sparks and flames away from the battery and never lay tools, equipment or other conductive objects on the battery. When tools or equipment is connected to the battery, make sure the equipment power switch is off.
Before You Begin First Time Operation NOTE The following process is used to flush factory- testing fluids out of your new machine, and is only necessary before the first time you use the unit. Verify that the fuel filter is connected and securely in place on the side of the cabinet Check the output/return hoses, battery connections, and all external components for damage Turn the Gasoline (Petrol) PRESSURE REGULATOR on the unit’s control panel counterclockwise until it is completely open.
• Set the TIMER knob for five minutes. • Direct the output (red) hose into an appropriate container. • Press the ON/OFF switch to the on position. NOTE: Alarm will sound continually until pump starts. • Press and hold the START/RUN switch until the fuel from the unit has been emptied into the container.

A ‘Baseline’ test can be performed to identify a component failure or unit problem. Once a repair has been made, perform a ‘real’...
Appendix A - Maintenance Maintenance Procedures The following maintenance procedures should be performed on a routine basis: Drain the unit’s fuel reservoirs and replace the fuel filters after every 30 cleaning services for Gasoline (Petrol), or every 10 cleaning services for the unit’s diesel fuel reservoir for maximum performance as described in the next section.
Replace the Fuel Filter Remove the old fuel filter from the mounting station on the side of the unit’s cabinet and install the new filter. Verify the filter is tightened securely Add the mixture back into the reservoir. Check the filter for leaks. Enter your initials, the date, and a check mark in the appropriate boxes of the Maintenance Record in the Operators Manual.
