PRE-OPERATION FOR STARTING

(See Fig.

)

■

Stop the engine and open the cap.

■

Use automotive unleaded gasoline only.

This engine is certified to operate on automotive unleaded

gasoline.

1. CONNECT SUCTION HOSE

(See Fig.

Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction

collapse.

Since the pump self-priming time is directly proportional to

hose length, a short hose is recommended.

Always use a strainer with the suction hose. Gravel

or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious

damage to the impeller and the pump casting.

CAUTION

2. CONNECT DELIVERY HOSE

(See Fig.

When using a fabric hose, always use a hose band to prevent

the hose from disconnecting under high pressure.

4. CHECK FUEL

(See Fig.

3. CHECK ENGINE OIL (See Fig.

Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the engine is

located on stable, level surface and stopped.

■

Do not screw the oil gauge into the oil filler neck to check

oil level. If the oil level is low, refill to the upper level with

the following recommended oil.

■

Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class

SE or higher grade (SG, SH or SJ is recommended).

■

Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the

time of operation as shown in the table. (See Fig.2

5. CHECK PRIMING WATER

(See Fig.

It is recommended that the water chamber of pump casing

should be primed with full of water before operating.

Never attempt to operate the pump without priming

water or the pump will overheat. Extended dry

operation will destroy the mechanical seal.

If the unit has been operated dry, stop the engine

immediately and allow the pump to cool before

adding priming water.

WARNING

Do not refuel while smoking, near an open flame

or other such potential fire hazards. Otherwise

fire accident may occur.

WARNING

■

Incline the engine as fuel inlet upward, then refill fuel to

the upper level. Do not fill fuel too much. (EW120R)

■

Close the fuel cock before filling the fuel tank.

(Except EW120R)

Explanation of Fig.3

q Maximum Fuel level

■

Do not fill above the top of the fuel filter screen (marked q),

or the fuel may overflow when it heats up later and expands.

(Except EW120R)

■

Reattach the fuel cap by turning clockwise until reaching

the physical stop (about one quarter turn). Do not attempt

to turn past the physical stop or the fuel cap may be

damaged. (Except EW120R)

■

When filling the fuel tank, always use the fuel filter screen.

■

Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
