OWNER’S MANUAL | BEFORE OPERATION 7
IS YOUR PUMP READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service
life of your equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you operate the
engine to check its condition. Be sure to take
careofanyproblemyound,orhaveyour
servicing dealer correct it, before you operate
the pump.
Improperly maintaining this pump, or
failing to correct a problem before
operation, could cause a malfunction
in which you could be seriously injured.
Alway perform a pre-operation inspection
before each operation and correct any
problem.
WARNING
Before beginning your pre-operation checks,
be sure the pump is level and the engine
switch is in the OFF position.
Check the General Condition of the Pump
1. Look around and underneath the pump for
signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris,
 especiallyaroundtheenginemuferand
recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws, hose
connectors and clamps are tightened.
Check the Suction and Discharge Hoses
1. 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.
2. Check that the sealing washer in the suction
hose connector is in good condition.
3. Check that the hose connectors and clamps
are securely installed.
4. Check that the strainer is in good condition
and is installed on the suction hose.
Check the Engine
1. Check the engine oil level. Running the
engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
2. The oil sensor will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below safe
limits. However, to avoid the inconvenience
of an unexpected shutdown, always check
the engine oil level before startup.
3.Checktheairlter.Adirtyairlterwill
 restrictairowtothecarburetor,reducing
engine performance.
4. Check the fuel level. Starting with a full
tank will help to eliminate or reduce
operating interruptions for refueling.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing
it can cause unconsciousness and even
kill you. Avoid any areas or actions that
expose you to carbon monoxide.
