Pre-Start Checklist - Kohler WA 2.0 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 flat 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 (N) 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 overfill.
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.
Starting

NOTE: Never attempt to operate pump without
priming water or pump will overheat.
Extended dry operation will destroy
mechanical seal.
If unit has been operated dry, stop
engine immediately and allow pump to
cool before adding priming water.
NOTE: Always use a suction strainer (N) with
suction hose. Gravel or debris sucked
into pump will cause serious damage
to impeller and pump casting.
NOTE: Pump is not designed for on-board
use. Do not use it while installed on a
vehicle.
Do not leave pump inside vehicle or in
trunk.
When operating or transporting pump,
be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel
may leak from fuel tank.
1. Immerse suction strainer (N) completely in
liquid that is to be sucked up. If there is a risk
that it could become blocked up, then place
suction strainer (N) on a stone base.
2. Fill body of pump with water via pump
discharge port (B) or through pump filler cap
(E).
3. Connect two discharge and suction couplings
(P).
4. Start engine as follows:
Cold engine: Place lever (F) in choke
position.
Warm engine: Place lever (F) in full throttle/
FAST position.
5. Slowly pull recoil starter handle (I) until just
past compression-STOP! Return recoil
starter handle (I); firmly pull straight out to
avoid excessive rope wear from starter rope
guide.
6. Gradually move lever (F) to FAST position
after engine starts and warms up. Engine/
equipment may be operated during warm up
period, but it may be necessary to leave
choke partially on until engine warms up.
