Pre-Start Checklist - Kohler TP 4.0 D Manual Del Propietário

Pre-Start Checklist

1. Ensure pump is at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from
building or other equipment.
2. Place pump on a fl at sturdy surface. Select a
clean location, ventilated and protected from
inclement weather. Select a location which
will not impede movement of people or
vehicles.
3. Make sure pump remains stable and
immobile while in operation. Do not forget
that suction hose tends to pull pump towards
water source during pumping.
4. Place pump as close as possible to liquid
being drawn in. A shorter vertical distance
between pump and liquid surface will yield
more rapid priming and greater volume of
liquid pumped. If pump is operated beside a
pit or body of water, be sure it is well
anchored so it does not fall in.
5. Submerge suction strainer (I) completely
within liquid, taking care that it is not blocked.
6. Refer to all warning labels prior to starting.
7. Check oil level. Add oil if low. Do not overfi ll.
8. Check fuel level. Add fuel if low. Check fuel
system components and lines for leaks.
Never refuel while unit is running.
9. Check that air cleaner components and all air
inlets are unobstructed, equipment covers,
and guards are in place and securely
fastened.
