BEFORE OPERATION

Check the Suction and Discharge Hoses

Check the Engine

Check the general condition of the hoses. Be sure the hoses are in
serviceable condition before connecting them to the pump.
Remember that the suction hose must be reinforced construction to
prevent hose collapse.

Check that the sealing washer in the suction hose connector is in
good condition (see page

).

Check that the hose connectors and clamps are securely installed
(see pages

and

).

Check that the strainer is in good condition and is installed on the
suction hose (see page

).

Check the oil level (see page

). To avoid the inconvenience of an

unexpected shutdown by the Oil Alert system, always check the
engine oil level before startup.

Check the air filter (see page

). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow

to the carburetor, reducing engine and pump performance.

Check the fuel level (see page

). Starting with a full tank will help

to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
