5. Use
5.1 Initial use (first time only)
Check the equipment for damage. Do not use the equipment if it is not in good condition. Notify the
supplier. Check whether the guarantee registration card has been supplied and filled in. This must be sent
back to Holmatro to register your warranty.
When you receive the pump it must first be made ready for operation. Perform the following actions:
* Remove the red shipping cap from the hydraulic tank and replace it with the orange breather cap.
Note: Keep the red cap and label for future shipping.
* Check the pump for external damage.
* Check whether the bottle with engine oil has been supplied.
* Fill the crankcase with the specified amount of engine oil – 0.26qt (0.25 L)
* Fill the fuel tank with lead-free gasoline up to the required level in the sight glass.
* Switch the directional valve to its “Neutral – 0” position.
* Switch the choke lever to its CHOKE position.
* Turn fuel shutoff valve to the “OPEN” position.
* Pull the cord until resistance is felt, let the cord be retracted and then pull fast. Repeat this if the engine
does not start the first time. This unit may require 10 to 12 pulls to start the engine when it is received
new from the factory. After the initial start-up the engine should start after 2 – 3 pulls of the recoil.
* Guide the starting cord back after starting.
Switch the choke lever to “RUN” when the engine has warmed up after approx. 20 - 30 sec. (begins to run
irregularly).
After verifying that the equipment operates, turn off the engine by pressing the “ENGINE STOP” button
and holding for 2-3 seconds. Turn the fuel shutoff valve to “CLOSED”.
The pump is now ready for use.

5.2.1 Checklist:
Check the engine oil level every time before use.
* Remove the dipstick and check the level. See Honda Owner’s Manual. Refill if the level is too
low. Use only the recommended engine oil described in the Honda manual.
* Check the fuel level. Fill to sight glass level if low.
* Use only lead-free gasoline.
* Do not overfill the tank.
* Immediately remove any gasoline that spills.
Caution: Check the level only when the pump is in horizontal position and the engine is switched off.
Ensure sufficient ventilation. Do not check near open fire or sparks.
