Preparation before use

Positioning for operation
Place the motor pump on a sufficiently strong, flat and horizontal surface so that the electric pump cannot sink in (the inclination must not exceed 10° in any direction). Select a clean location, ventilated and protected from inclement weather, and provide an oil and fuel supply close to the place of motor pump usage, while still maintaining a safe distance. Select a location which will not impede the movement of people or vehicles. Make sure that the motor pump remains stable and immobile while in operation. Don’t forget that the suction hose tends to pull the motor pump towards the water source during pumping. Place the motor pump as close as possible to the liquid being drawn- in. The shorter the vertical distance between the motor pump and the liquid surface, the more rapid the priming and the greater the volume of liquid pumped. Submerge the strainer completely within the liquid, taking care that it is not blocked.

Oil level

  1. Remove the filler plug-dipstick (no. 2) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
  2. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck (no. 3) without screwing it. N.B.: A second black plug (no. 4) without a dipstick, is available if necessary on the other side of the engine.
  3. Visually check the level and top up if necessary.
  4. Tighten the filler plug-dipstick (no. 2) completely onto the filler neck (no. 3).
  5. Check that there are no leaks.
  6. Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth.

Fuel level

WARNING!
Only use clean fuel without any water. Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck). After filling, always check that the plug is fitted properly on the tank. If fuel has been spilled, make sure that it has dried and that the fumes are dissipated before starting the motor pump set.

Visually check the fuel level.Top up if necessary:

  1. Close the fuel tap.
  2. Remove the fuel tank plug.
  3. Fill the fuel tank with a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel.
  4. Tighten the plug on the tank.
  5. Open the fuel tap.
Assembly of pipings

WARNING
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).

  1. Pass the pipe fixing clamps (no. 6) around the suction &discharge hoses.
  2. Mount the hose couplings (no. 5) on the suction (no. 2) & discharge of the pump (no. 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 (no. 4) at the end of the suction hose.
  6. Fix the strainer with a pipe fixing clamp.

Usage of the motorpump

Starting-up

WARNING!
Always top up the pump housing before starting the engine. Presence of liquid is necessary to prime & lubricate a pump (risk of deterioration).

  1. Fully immerse the strainer in the liquid to be drawn-in. If there is a risk of blockage, place the strainer on a rock bed.
  2. Unscrew the pump filler plug.
  3. Top up the pump housing with water.
  4. Screw the pump filler plug back on.
  5. Move the choke knob into position .
  6. Set the engine switch to “ ” and activate the gas lever.
  7. Slowly pull the recoil starter handle once until encountering resistance, allow it to return back gently.
  8. Pull the recoil starter firmly &strongly until the engine starts.
  9. Gently set the choke knob to and wait for an engine temperature increase before releasing the gas lever.

If the engine does not start, repeat the operation until the engine starts-up. If the pump does not discharge, stop the motor pump and check the suction circuit.

Operation

WARNING!
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.

When the speed of the motor pump has stabilised (around 3 min), move the gas lever 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).

Switching off

  1. Restore the gas lever to its original position.
  2. Set the engine switch to the “ ” position. The motor pump stops.
  3. Drain the motor pump then rinse it if its use is over for the day.

Rinsing

Once the motor pump is shutdown and cold:

  1. Empty the suction &discharge hoses, allow the liquid to drain out.
  2. Unscrew the drain plug from the pump in order to drain-out the pump housing.
  3. Screw the pump drain plug back on once drainage is complete.
  4. Remove the pump filler plug and fill the pump housing with clean water.
  5. Slowly pull the recoil starter handle several times till encountering resistance, allow it to return back gently.
  6. Unscrew the pump drain plug and drain the pump housing.
  7. Screw the pump fill &drain plugs back on.
  8. Clean the strainer.

Safety features
If there is no oil in the engine sump or if the oil pressure is low, the oil safety mechanism automatically stops the engine to prevent any damage. If this occurs, check the engine oil level and top it up if necessary before looking for any other cause of the problem.

Maintenance

This section describes how to service the Servicing and repair work not described in this section must be carried out by the manufacturer’s personnel. The following servicing work must be carried out in accordance with the corresponding periods.
