Subaru Robin Power Products PKV401T manual Check Fuel, Check Priming Water

3. PRE-OPERATION FOR STARTING

(See Fig. 2)

1.CONNECT SUCTION HOSE (See Fig. 2-q)

Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction collapse.

Since the pump self-priming time is directly proportional to hose length, a short hose is recommended.

CAUTION

Always use a strainer with the suction hose. Gravel or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious damage to the impeller and the pump casting.

2.CONNECT DELIVERY HOSE (See Fig. 2-w)

When using a fabric hose, always use a hose band to prevent the hose from disconnecting under high pressure.

3. CHECK ENGINE OIL (See Fig. 2-r)

Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the engine is located on stable, level surface and stopped.

■Do not screw the oil gauge into the oil filler neck to check oil level. If the oil level is low, refill to the upper level with the following recommended oil.

■Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class SE or higher grade (SG, SH or SJ is recommended).

■Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time of operation as shown in the table. (See Fig.2-e)

5. CHECK PRIMING WATER	ESPAÑOL
(See Fig. 2-u)
It is recommended that the water chamber of pump casing
should be primed with full of water before operating.
