Before commissioning

WARNING
Health hazard!
Inhalation of fuel / lubricating oil vapours and exhaust
gases can cause serious damage to health, uncon-
sciousness and in extreme cases death.
– Do not breathe fuel / lubricating oil vapours and ex-
haust gases.
– Operate the product outdoors only.
* = may not be included in the scope of delivery!
Note:
The product has a centrifugal clutch. This creates a fric-
tional connection as the speed increases by pressing the
clutch facings against the inner wall of the clutch housing
due to the centrifugal force.
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the fuel level – the fuel tank should be at least
half-full.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws, nuts and bolts are tightened.
• Ensure that the product is sufficiently ventilated.
• Make sure that the spark plug connector is attached to
the spark plug.
• The suction and pressure lines must be installed in
such a way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the pump.
Tool required:
• Screwdriver (22)
• Funnel*
• Rag/cloth*

9.1 Filling up with engine oil (Fig. 3)
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without engine oil. There-
fore, ensure that you add oil before starting it up.
Use multigrade oil (SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40) for this.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil
level that is too low can damage the motor.
1. Unscrew the oil dipstick (10).
2. Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel.
Do not exceed the maximum filling level (see Techni-
cal Data).
Carefully fill the oil up to the lower edge of the filling
port.
3. Wipe the oil dipstick (10) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4. Reinsert the oil dipstick (10) without screwing the oil
dipstick (10) back on.

5. Pull the oil dipstick (10) out and read the oil level in
the horizontal position. The oil level must be between
L (low) and H (high) on the oil dipstick (10).
6. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
amount of oil (see Technical Data).
7. Then screw the oil dipstick (10) in again.
9.2 Filling up with fuel (Fig. 4)
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
Only fill the fuel when the engine is switched off and
has cooled down. Do not smoke when refuelling the
product.
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
When filling, fuel may ignite and even explode. This can
lead to severe burns or death.
• Switch off the engine and let it cool down.
• Keep heat, flames and sparks away.
• Only fill up with fuel outdoors.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Start the product at a distance of at least 3 m from the
fuel filling point.
• Watch out for leaks. If fuel is leaking, do not start the
engine.
• Always use a fuel filter insert.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so that
no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and
housing.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without fuel. It is
therefore essential to fill with fuel before
commissioning. Use Super E5 petrol for this.
1. Clean the area surrounding the filling area.
Impurities in the fuel tank (2) lead to operational faults.
2. Carefully open the tank cover (3) so that any possible
overpressure can be relieved.
3. Fill the fuel tank (2) with petrol using a funnel.
Do not exceed the maximum filling level (see Techni-
cal Data).
Carefully fill the fuel up to the lower edge of the filling
port.
4. Close the tank cover (3) again.
Ensure that the fuel filler cap (3) is tightly sealed.
5. Clean the tank cover (3) and the surroundings.
9.3 Installing the suction line* (Fig. 5)
Notes:
The pump has a non-return valve which prevents the wa-
ter from flowing back into the suction line.
• The suction line* must be reinforced with rigid walls or
wire mesh.
