| DANGER:

1. Refer to the documentation supplied with the unit.
2. Emission of toxic exhaust gases. Do not use in a confined or poorly ventilated area.
3. Stop the unit before filling with fuel.

General guidelines

Never let other people use the unit without ensuring they have all of the necessary instructions beforehand. Never allow a child to touch the unit, even when switched off, and do not operate the unit when animals are in the vicinity (fear, disturbance, etc.). In all cases, respect the local regulations currently in place concerning the use of the units. Exhaust gases, fuel and oil are toxic products; take all necessary protective measures.

Guidelines for protecting the environment

Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground. As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified). If the unit is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear any vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire. Once the unit is no longer being used (end of product life), take it to a waste collection point.

Risks relating to exhaust gases

Danger
RISK OF POISONING
The carbon monoxide present in the exhaust gas may lead to death by inhalation if the concentration levels in the atmosphere are too high. Always use the unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.

For safety reasons and for correct operation of the unit, correct ventilation is essential (risk of poisoning, engine overheating and accidents involving, or damage to, the surrounding equipment and property). If it is necessary to operate it inside a building, the exhaust gases must be evacuated outside and adequate ventilation must be provided so that any people or animals present are not affected.

Risk of fire

**| RISK OF FIRE
Never operate the unit in areas containing flammable products (risk of sparks). Keep all flammable or explosive materials (e.g. petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) out of the way when unit is running. Never cover the unit with any type of material while it is in operation or just after it has been turned off: always wait until the engine cools down (at least 30 minutes).|

Initial commissioning

On taking delivery and commissioning the unit:

1. Check that it is complete and not damaged in any way.

2. If the unit is fitted with a transport bracket, remove it. The transport bracket is a metal plate located underneath the engine, close to the earth terminal. Although useful for transportation, it will prevent optimum operation of the unit (noise, vibration).
   To remove it: lift the unit slightly and place it on a block then remove the nut (1) and the clamp (2).

3. Check the oil and fuel levels and top them up if necessary.

4. If necessary, connect the battery, starting with the positive terminal. Observe the polarity of the battery terminals when connecting it: as this could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment.

Some units require a running-in period. Contact your nearest agent for more information.

Usage of the motor pump

Before using the unit, always:

1. Check that the unit is correctly installed and that it is ready to start.
2. Make sure you have understood all of the operating procedures. To stop the unit in an emergency: turn the engine switch to “OFF” or “O” and close the fuel tap(s), if fitted.

Positioning the generating set for operation

1. Choose a site that is clean, well-ventilated and sheltered from bad weather, and which does not obstruct the passage of vehicles or pedestrians, and store the additional supplies of oil and fuel within close proximity, although respecting a certain distance for safety.
2. Set the motor pump down on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to ensure it does not sink (the angle must not exceed 10° in any direction).
3. Ensure that the motor pump is stable and cannot move when in operation. Do not forget that the suction pipe tends to pull the motor pump towards the water source during pumping.
4. Position the motor pump as close as possible to the liquid to be  aspirated. The shorter the vertical distance between the motor pump and the surface of the liquid, the quicker the priming and the greater the volume of liquid pumped.

Checking the motor pump is in a good general condition (bolts, hoses)

Inspect the entire unit before start-up and after each use to prevent any faults or damage.

1. Check that the unit is clean, in particular the air intake zones (engine air intake, air vents, air filter, etc.).
2. Check all of the unit’s pipes and hoses to ensure they are in good condition and that there are no leaks. Pipes or hoses must be replaced by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.
3. Tighten any loose bolts.
   The cylinder head bolts must be retightened by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.

Checking the engine oil level and topping up

1. If the unit has been used, leave to cool for at least 30 minutes

2. Remove the oil dipstick/filler plug (A2-B1) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.

3. Insert the oil dipstick/filler plug in the filler neck (B2) without tightening it, then take it out again.

4. Visually check the level: it must be between the upper limit (B3) and lower limit (B4) on the dipstick. If the oil level is too low: open the oil filler cap, use a funnel to top up the tank (using oil that complies with the specifications in the manual), then screw the oil filler plug back in.
   If the oil level is too high: drain some of the oil into a suitable container.

5. Check the level again before screwing the oil dipstick/filler plug back in fully.

6. Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.

Checking the fuel level and topping up

1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A3). Do not remove the screen filter (A4) when topping up.
2. Visually check the level of fuel.
3. If necessary, fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel. Do not overfill the tank; there should not be any fuel in the filler neck.
4. Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap.
5. All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.

Fitting the hoses

1. Fit the collar clamps (E1) around the suction and discharge hoses.

2. Fit the hose fittings (E2) on the pump suction port (A5-E3) and the pump discharge port (A6-E4) and secure them with clamps.
   Always check that the fittings are sealed (risk of liquid not being aspirated correctly).

3. Fit a collar clamp around the other end of the suction hose.

4. Fit the suction strainer (E5) to the end of the suction hose and secure it with the clamp.
   If the suction strainer is not used, it may cause serious damage to the motor pump.
   

Starting the motor pump

1. Submerge the strainer (E5) fully into the liquid to be aspirated: if there is a risk of blockage, place the strainer on a stone base.
2. Unscrew the filler cap on the pump (A7).
3. Fill the pump body (A8-E6) with water before screwing the filler cap back onto the pump. There must be liquid present in order to prime the pump and lubricate it: if there is no water in the pump body before start-up, this may cause serious, irreparable damage to the motor pump.
4. Open the fuel tap (A9).
5. If the outdoor temperature is low, or if the motor pump is cold, bring the choke lever (A10) to the ” ” position.
6. Move the throttle lever (A11) to 1/3 of the “MIN” position.
7. Set the switch (A1) to “ON”.
8. Slowly pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A12) until there is some resistance, then let it return gently. Then give the starter-recoil reel a good strong pull to start the motor. If the motor pump does not start, repeat the operation until it starts up. If the pump does not discharge any liquid, stop the motor pump and check the suction system.
9. Wait until the motor temperature starts to rise then, if the choke was used, move it slowly to the ” ” position.

Using the motor pump

During operation:

1. Monitor the motor pump and check regularly that the entire suction and discharge circuit is free of obstruction (foreign bodies, incorrectly parked vehicles, etc.).
2. Adjust the discharge head as necessary to ensure a sufficient flow rate.
3. Ensure any valves which have been used are closed gently to prevent “hammering” which would damage the motor pump

Adjusting the flow rate of the motor pump

The flow rate of the motor pump depends on a number of parameters: the motor speed, the suction and discharge head and the quality of the liquid to be pumped all affect the flow rate of the motor pump.

To increase the flow rate of the motor pump:

1. Place the throttle lever (A11) in the “MAX” position.
2. Increase the head height.

To reduce the flow rate of the motor pump:

1. Place the throttle lever (A11) in the “MIN” position.
2. Decrease the head height

A = Head height (m) – B = Flow rate (L/min)

|
|

Stopping the motor pump

1. Return the throttle lever (A11) to its original position.
2. Move the switch (A1) to “OFF”. The motor pump stops.
3. Close the fuel tap (A9)
4. Disconnect the suction and discharge pipes and allow the liquid to flow out.
5. Leave the motor pump to cool, ensuring that it is well ventilated (risk of fire or burns).
6. Drain the motor pump then rinse it out when you have finished using it for the day.

Rinsing the motor pump

After the motor pump has stopped and cooled down:

1. Set the switch (A1) to OFF.
2. Drain the suction and discharge hoses, leaving the liquid to flow out.
3. Remove the drain plug from the pump (A13) to empty the pump body (A8-E6) then refit the it once drainage is complete.
4. Remove the filler cap from the pump (A7) and fill the pump body with fresh water.
5. Slowly pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A12) several times until there is some resistance then let it return gently.
6. Unscrew the drain plug on the pump and leave the water to flow out.
7. Screw the filler cap and drain plug back on.
8. Repeat the operation if necessary.
9. Clean the suction strainer (E5): remove any dirt and rinse with fresh water.

Recommended fuel quality

Using fuel which does not comply with the following specifications exposes the equipment to irreversible damage not covered under warranty:

• Cleanliness and quality: ensure that the petrol used does not contain water and that it is fresh and clean (not out of date or contaminated). For the
• Octane rating: minimum octane rating of 87 (R+M)/2 or minimum octane rating of 90 (RON = Research Octane Number)
• Blends: the use of unleaded petrol containing up to 10% ethyl alcohol is authorised (France: SP95-E10). It is not permitted to use unleaded petrol containing less than 90% petrol, e.g. E15, E20 or E85. Blends of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and unleaded petrol are approved (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by volume).

However, it is strongly recommended that the same type of fuel is used throughout the complete service life of the unit. If the unit is used infrequently (less than once a month), use new fuel with each use or add a stabilizing additive to the fuel tank.

TERM:

The warranty for your unit is valid for a term of 24 months, from the date of purchase.

TERMS FOR APPLICATION OF THE WARRANTY:

The warranty starts on the date the unit was purchased by the first user. This warranty is transferred with the unit if the first user chooses to transfer it, either free or for a charge; it is valid  or the remaining duration of the initial warranty, which cannot be extended. The warranty only applies upon presentation of a legible purchase invoice, which states the date of purchase, the unit type, the serial number, and the name, address and commercial stamp of the distributor. SDMO Industries reserves the right to refuse to apply the warranty in the event that there is no document attesting to the date and place of purchase of the unit. This warranty entitles the holder to the repair or replacement of the unit or its components, if deemed to be defective by SDMO Industries after expert analysis in its workshops; SDMO Industries reserves the right to modify the equipment on the unit to meet its obligations.

The unit or components replaced under warranty become the property of SDMO Industries.

LIMITATION OF THE WARRANTY:

The warranty applies to units installed, used or maintained in accordance with the documentation provided by SDMO Industries, and in the event of any operating defect with the unit, caused by a fault with the design, manufacture or material. SDMO Industries does not guarantee the performance capabilities of the unit, or its operation or reliability if it is used for specific purposes.

The warranty therefore covers the costs of parts and labour, excluding travel costs. The cost of transporting the unit or one of its components to the workshops of SDMO INDUSTRIES or one of its approved agents shall be borne by the Customer; the “return” transport costs shall be borne by SDMO Industries. However, in the event that the warranty does not apply, all transport costs shall be borne by the Customer.

Warranty exclusion applies in the following cases: damage resulting from transporting the unit; incorrect installation or installation not complying with SDMO Industries recommendations and/or technical and safety standards; use of non-recommended products, components, replacement parts, fuel or lubricants; incorrect use or misuse of the unit; modification or conversion of the unit or any of its components not authorised by SDMO Industries; normal wear and tear of the unit or of one of its components; damage due to negligence, failure to monitor, service or clean the unit; force majeure, acts of God or other external causes (natural disaster, fire, impact, flooding, lightning, etc.); operation of the unit with insufficient load; inadequate storage conditions of the unit. The following components are also excluded from the warranty: the starter systems (batteries, starter motors, starter), the filters, the belts, the fuses, the switches, the lamps, the commutators, and all consumables and wearing parts.
