1.3.5 Filling with fuel
Danger
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Smoking, using a naked flame or producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
Filling should be carried out with the engine turned off. All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
Always place the pump unit on a flat, level and horizontal surface to avoid fuel spillage from the tank onto the engine. Storage and
handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time the tank has
been filled. Fill the tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel. Then screw the petrol cap back on to the fuel tank as soon as
filling is complete. Never top up fuel when the pump unit is in operation or hot.
1.3.6 Safety guidelines against burns
Warning
Never touch the engine or the silencer while the pump unit is in operation, or when it has just stopped.
Hot oil burns, avoid contact with the skin. Check that the system is no longer pressurised before carrying out any procedures. Never
start or run the engine when the oil filler cap is off as oil may splash out.
1.3.7 Protecting the environment
Never drain or discard used oil onto the ground, but put it into a designated container. As far as possible, try to avoid sound
reverberating through walls and buildings, as the noise will be amplified. If the exhaust silencer on your pump unit is not fitted with a
spark arrester and you need to use it in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas, be extremely careful to ensure that sparks do not cause a
fire (clear any vegetation away from the area where you wish to place your pump).
1.3.8 Danger of moving parts
Warning
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that is not enclosed in a
protective hair net. Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.

3. Preparation before starting
3.1. Assembly of pipings
Never use the pump unit without the appropriate strainer.
Do not remove the strainer as there is a danger the pump will become damaged by foreign bodies pumped up
afterwards.
Check that the seals and unions are correctly in place. Air reaching the suction pipe or union will interfere with
or prevent the pumping of water.
n Fit the hose unions (No.21, Fig.H) on the suction (No.16, Fig A) and lift housings (No.17, Fig.A).
o Secure the suction and lift hoses to their respective hose union using a clip (No.22, Fig.H).
p Also fit the strainer (No.20, Fig.H) to the other end of the suction pipe.
