4.5 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.
4.6 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 "
6. Move the throttle lever (A11) to 1/3 of the "MIN" position.
7. Set the switch (A1) to "
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 "
4.7 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.
