BEFORE OPERATION

IS YOUR PUMP READY TO GO?

Check the General Condition of the Pump

For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it

is very important to take a few moments before you operate the pump

to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or

have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the pump.

Improperly maintaining this pump,

or failing to correct a problem

before operation, could cause a

malfunction in which you could be

seriously injured.

Always perform a preoperation

inspection before each operation,

and correct any problem.

To prevent a possible fire, keep the pump at least 3 feet (1 meter) away

from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not

place flammable objects close to the engine.

Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the pump is on a

level surface and the ignition switch is in the OFF position.

Look around and underneath the pump for signs of oil or gasoline

leaks.

Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the engine,

muffler, and recoil starter.

Look for signs of damage.

Check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hose connectors, and clamps are

tightened.
