Mixing Fuel, Priming | Shindaiwa X7506720300, GP344 instruction

Priming

Before the pump can develop suction or “lift” at the water source, the pump

impeller must first be primed by filling

the pump housing with water. Once the water pump has been primed, addi- tional priming should be required only if the pump has been drained or other- wise emptied.

1.Remove the filler plug at the top of the pump housing. Use care not to lose the sealing ring beneath the filler plug.

IMPORTANT!

A damaged or missing filler plug

seal may allow air to leak into the pump housing. Air leakage can lower performance!

2.Fill the pump housing through the priming port with clean water until water overflows from the filler plug hole on the pump body.

3.Replace and securely tighten the filler plug.

CAUTION!

Never allow the pump to run dry! Operation without water can perma- nently damage the pump seals.

Mixing Fuel

WARNING!

Alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shindaiwa requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved.

Hybrid 4TM Mixture Oil - Engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD standards must be used. Shindaiwa highly recommends using Shindaiwa Red ArmorTM engine oil in all Shindaiwa Hybrid 4TM engines to protect the engine from harmful carbon build up, maintain engine performance, and increase engine life. Shindaiwa Red ArmorTM engine oil exceeds ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O. M345/FD performance requirements. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD certified oil will void the engine warranty.

	Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
IMPORTANT!

Shindaiwa Red ArmorTM engine oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Shindaiwa engines sold in the past, regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.

IMPORTANT!

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Use of unmixed, improp- erly mixed, or stale fuel, may cause hard starting, poor performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Long Term Storage section of this manual.
