For your safety, avoid operating the
pump in an enclosed area such as a
garage. The exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which may ac-
cumulate rapidly in a small confined
area causing intoxication or death.
FIttING tHE PUmP
For best performance, place
the pump as close to the water
level and use hoses to pump whose
length does not exceed what is
necessary. This will allow maximum
flow pump debit with a minimum of
self-priming.
With the increase of total head
(geometric unevenness in the levels
of water in the suction and dis-
charge), the flow rate of the pump
decreases. The pump performance
is also influenced by the length,
type and size of hose suction and
discharge.
It is important that the suction head
is less than the time of discharge.
Minimize suction height (putting the
pump near the water level in the
pump) is also important to reduce
the time of self-priming. The self-
priming time is the time it takes to
traverse the water suction height at
the beginning of pump operation.
INstAllING tHE VACUUm
HOsE
Use hoses and accessories com-
mercially available with the clamp
supplied with the pump. The suction
hose must be reinforced (steel
mesh or wall that does not allow
folding).
Do not use a hose whose diameter
is smaller than the diameter of
the suction pipe (minimum size =
50mm).
The suction hose must not exceed
the length necessary. The pump
efficiency is higher than when it is at
water level and the pump when the
hoses are short.
Use clamp coupling hose / fitting to
prevent leaks and loss of suction.
Make sure the sealing ring attach-
ment is in perfect condition.
Install the filter (supplied with
the pump) at the other end of the
vacuum hose and tighten it with a
clamp. The filter will prevent the
pump is clogged or damaged.
Make sure that the coupling attach-
ment to the suction pipe is safe.
INstAllAtION
OF dIsCHARGE HOsE
Use hoses and accessories com-
mercially available with the clamp
supplied with the pump.
It is preferable to use a short hose
large diameter to reduce friction
caused by the fluid and improve the
performance of the pump. A long
tube of small diameter or increase
friction and decrease the efficiency
of the pump.
Tighten the discharge hose firmly to
prevent that pops up when you are
under pressure.
REFIll
With the engine stopped and the
bomb placed on a level surface,
remove the fuel tank cap and check
the level. Refill if necessary.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area be-
fore starting the pump. If the engine
is hot, allow it to cool. Avoid spilling
fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank above
the fuel filter. After refueling, tighten
the cap securely.
Never refuel inside a building where
gasoline vapors might come into
contact with flames or sparks.
Spilled fuel, plus a safety hazard,
can cause environmental damage.
Clean up spills immediately.
OIl CHANGE
Drain the used oil while the engine
is hot. Hot oil will drain faster.
1. Place a container under the
engine to catch the oil and remove
the cap / dipstick, drain bolt and
sealing washer.
2. Allow the used oil to leak
through. Put the drain bolt and
sealing washer and tighten. Do not
place used oil in the trash or sewer.
Dispose of the oil in a friendly
environment.
3. With the engine in a level posi-
tion, fill the casing until the fluid
level reaches the edge of the hole.
ClEANING tHE AIR FIltER
A dirty filter will restrict air flow
to the carburetor affecting the
performance of the pump. If you use
the pump in dusty, clean the filter
more often than specified in the
maintenance schedule.
1. Clean the filter sponge with
warm water and detergent and
dry it thoroughly. Or clean it with
a non-flammable solvent and dry it
thoroughly.
