OPERATION

PAGE C - 5

Engine Oil

The engine was lubricated for test at the factory.
However, always check the lubrication level before
startup.

Consult the manual accompanying the engine,
and change the oil filter periodically as indicated. If
operated under extremely dusty conditions,
change the filter more frequently.

Air Compressor

The air compressor was lubricated for test at the
factory. However, always check the lubrication lev­
el before startup.

Consult the manual accompanying the air com­
pressor and preform all duties and checks as indi­
cated.

COLD WEATHER PRESERVATION

In below freezing conditions, drain the pump to

prevent damage from freezing. Also, clean out any

solids by flushing with a hose. Operate the pump

for approximately one minute; this will remove any

remaining liquid that could freeze the pump rotat­

ing parts. If the pump will be idle for more than a

few hours, or if it has been pumping liquids con­

taining a large amount of solids, drain the pump,

and flush it thoroughly with clean water. To prevent

large solids from clogging the drain port and pre­

venting the pump from completely draining, insert

a rod or stiff wire in the drain port, and agitate the

liquid during the draining process. Clean out any

remaining solids by flushing with a hose.
