BEFORE OPERATION
Check the Suction and Discharge Hoses
• 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.
• Check that the sealing washer in the suction hose connector is in
good condition (see page 16).
• Check
that the hose connectors and clamps are securely installed
(see pages 16 and 17).
• Check that the stra
iner is in good condition and is installed on the
suction hose (see page 16).
Check the Engine
• Bef
ore each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs
of oil or gasoline leaks.
• Check the oil level (see page
29). To avoid the inconvenience of an
unexpected shutdown by the Oil Alert system, always check the
e
ngine oil level before startup.
• Check the
air filter (see page 32). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow
to the carburetor, reducing engine and pump performance.
• Check the fuel level (see page 27). Starting with a full tank will help
to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
