4 Operating the pump
Caution:
The pump may only be used in accordance with the instructions in this operation manual.
Note:
Before using the pump, check that the engine has been filled with petrol. Filling during
operation is strictly forbidden.
Danger from electric shock:
Bring electrical plug connections to a flood-proof area to protect them from water. Watch
out for rising water levels in flood areas!
Caution:
For outdoor use, the provisions of EN 60 335-2-41 must be observed.
Danger from electric shock:
No-one should be present inside the pumping medium when the pump is in operation.
4.1 Operating the pump
For safe working on and with the pump, the wearing of safety shoes and safety gloves is
recommended, in order to prevent injury from crushing or cutting.
Each time when using the pump, also ensure the following points:
1. Transport the pump to the place of use.
Caution:
Always transport the pump with the handles provided for this purpose only.
2. Mount the suction cover with inspection glass to the pressure side of the pump and
connect the suction cover to the corresponding connection. This guarantees that the
piston pump is able to generate negative pressure for suctioning. The suction cover
is to be checked for functionality and impurities before assembling, and fixed if nec-
essary. Furthermore, ensure that the pump is sitting evenly on stable ground and
that the engine is dry (see Engine Safety, Engine User Manual).
Caution:
Only the suction cover from Spechtenhauser is to be used. Suction operation with
other suction cover is not possible. Only use a transparent suction hose as a suction
hose.
Danger:
The dimensionally stable spiral hoses for using the pump, as well as the suction
cover, must be fitted on the pressure and / or suction side before use. They serve as
impact protection for the impeller. The pumps themselves may not be operated with-
out the appropriate contact protection. Ensure the absence of foreign objects in the
pump and hoses before operating.
3. In case of the delivered check valve, a leash can be attached to the venting ring for
venting the suction line. When the leash is attached, it is to be ensured that it is 1.5
m longer than the depth of immersion of the suction hose to be employed
4. Fit a transparent, dimensionally stable spiral hose with A or B Storz connection to
the suction side of the pump. For suction with the reciprocating piston pump, the
