Usage of the motor pump
Before using:
- learn how to stop the electric pump in an emergency,
- fully understand all the commands and manoeuvres.
To immediately stop the electric pump in an emergency, set the engine switch to "OFF" or "O".
Warning
4.1
Assembly of pipings
Never use the motor pump without the appropriate strainer (risk of pump deterioration).
Always ensure that the sealing joints of the couplings are firmly in place (risk of poor suction of the liquid).
Caution
1.
Pass the pipe fixing clamps (E - 6) around the suction & discharge hoses.
2.
Mount the hose couplings (E - 5) on the suction (E - 2) & discharge of the pump (E - 3).
3.
Fix the suction & discharge hoses on their respective couplings using the pipe fixing clamps.
4.
Place one of the pipe fixing clamps around the other end of the suction hose.
5.
Attach the strainer (E - 4) at the end of the suction hose.
6.
Fix the strainer with a pipe fixing clamp.
4.2
Starting-up
Always fill up the pump body before starting the engine.
There must be liquid present in order to prime the pump and lubricate it (risk of damage).
Warning
1.
Complete immerse the suction strainer (E - 4) in the liquid to be aspirated. If there is a risk of blockage, place the strainer
on a stone surface.
2.
Unscrew the filler cap on the pump (A - 2).
3.
Fill up the pump body (E - 1) with water.
4.
Screw the pump filler plug back on.
5.
Open the engine fuel tap A - 6).
6.
Move the choke pull tab (A - 3) to the position "
N.B: Do not use the choke when the engine is warm or when the atmospheric temperature is high.
7.
Move the gas lever (A - 5) to 1/3 of the "MIN" position
8.
Move the ignition switch (A - 4) to "
9.
Slowly pull the starter/recoil reel handle (A - 7) until there is some resistance, then let it return gently.
Then pull the starter/recoil reel quickly and sharply until the engine starts.
10. Slowly move the choke pull tab to the position "
lever to the required position.
If the engine does not start, repeat the operation until the engine starts. If the pump does not start running, switch off the unit and
check the suction circuit.
4.3
Operation
During the operation, don't allow any foreign bodies to block the suction or the discharge.
Don't block the discharge pipe: don't allow any vehicle to park on the pipe.
Never close a valve abruptly: water-hammer action can seriously damage the pump.
Caution
When the speed of the motor pump has stabilised (around 3 min), move the gas lever (A - 5) into position for the desired speed.
The motor pump discharges the liquid not only according to the speed but also the elevation height for suction & discharge, and the
quality of liquid to be drawn-in (clean / charged water).
