COMPONENTS

PREPARATIONS FOR STARTING

Connect the suction hose

  • Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction collapse.
  • Since the pump’s self-priming time is directly proportional to hose length, a short hose is recommended.

CAUTION

  • Always use a strainer with the suction hose.
  • Gravel or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious damage to the impeller and the pump casing.

Connect the discharge hose

  • When using a fabric hose, always use a hose band to prevent the hose for disconnecting under high pressure.

Check the engine oil level.

  • Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
  • Nondetergent or vegetable oils are not recommended.
  • Use oil classified “SC” or higher grade.
  • If the oil level is below the fill level line on the dipstick, refill with the proper oil (see table) to edge of the oil filler neck.
  • Be sure to check the oil level on a level surface with the engine stopped.

Check the fuel level

  • The level is low, fill to the shoulder of the fuel filter. Use fresh, clean automotive Gasoline.

Check the priming water

makita-EW400R-Air-Filters-Lawnmower-fig-4

  • This is recommended that the water chamber of Pump casing should be primed with full of Water before operating.

CAUTION

  • Never attempt to operate the pump without priming water or the pump will overheat. Extended dry operation will destroy the mechanical seal.
  • If the unit has been operated dry, stop the engine immediately and allow the pump to cool before adding priming water.

STARTING THE ENGINE

makita-EW400R-Air-Filters-Lawnmower-fig-5

  1. Open the fuel cock.
  2. Set the speed control lever to “START.”
  3. Close the choke lever.
    • If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high, close the choke lever half-way, or keep it open fully.
    • If the engine is cold, or the ambient temperature is low, close the choke lever.

Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. This is the “compression” point. Return the handle to its original position and pull swiftly.

  • Do not pull out the rope all the way.
  • After starting the engine, allow the starter handle return to its original position while still holding the handle.

OPERATION

makita-EW400R-Air-Filters-Lawnmower-fig-8

  1. After starting the engine, gradually open choke by turning the choke lever and finally keep it open fully.
    • Do not fully open the choke lever immediately when the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, because the engine may stop.
  2. After the engine starts, set the speed control lever at the low speed position (L) and warm it up without a load for a few minutes.
    • Gradually move the speed control lever toward the high speed position (H) and set it at the required engine speed.

NOTE: Whenever high speed operation is not required, slow the engine down (idle), by moving the speed control lever to save fuel and extend engine life.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

makita-EW400R-Air-Filters-Lawnmower-fig-10

  • Set the speed control lever to the low speed position and allow the engine to run at low speed for 2 or 3 minutes before stopping.
  • Keep depressing the STOP BUTTON until the engine stops. Do not stop the engine suddenly when it is running at high speed.
  • Close the fuel cock.
  • Pull the starter handle slowly and return the handle to its original position when resistance is felt.

NOTE:  The above operation is necessary to prevent Outside moist air from intruding into the combustion chamber.

STOPPING ENGINE WITH THE FUEL COCK

  • Close the fuel cock and wait for a while until the engine stops.
  • Avoid letting fuel remain in the carburettor long period, or the passages of the Carburetor may become clogged with impurities, and malfunctions may result.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

DAILY INSPECTION

Before running the pump, check the following service items:

  • Enough fuel.
  • Excessive vibration, noise.
  • Clean air cleaner element.
  • Safe surroundings.
  • Enough clean engine oil.
  • Leakage of gasoline and engine oil.
  • Loose or broken bolts and nuts.
