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.
3. Assembly Procedure
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.
4. Operating Procedures
Fuel
•
Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.
•
Use Tanaka two-cycle oil or a quality two-cycle oil at mixing
ratio of 25-50:1 (Gasoline (A) : Oil (B)), only for the state of
California at 50:1.
•
Never use multi-grade oil (10 W/30) or waste oil.
•
Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.
•
Always start by filling half the amount of fuel, which is to be
used. Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of fuel.
•
Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before filling the fuel
tank.
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.
