3. Assembly Procedure

Hose to pump connection. (Fig. 1-1)

Care must be taken to ensure that tight connection is made between the female unions, and the male pump stubs.

NOTE!

An air leak at either union will greatly reduce the pump efficiency or no water is pumped at all.

Strainer (Fig. 1-2)

CAUTION!

A strainer should always be used on the suction hose, to prevent debris from entering the pump body, and causing possible damage to the impeller.

Fueling

WARNING!

•Always shut off the engine before refueling.

•Slowly open the fuel tank, when filling up with fuel, so that possible over-pressure disappears.

•Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.

•Always move the unit at least 3 m (10 ft.) from the fueling area before starting.

Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container, before fueling.
