IS YOUR PUMP READY TO GO?
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.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the pump is on a
level surface and the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
Check the General Condition of the Pump
• Look around and underneath the pump for signs of oil or gasoline
leaks.
• Remove any 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.
• Keep all shields and covers in place while operating the pump.
• Check the general condition of the hoses. Be sure the hoses are in
serviceable condition before connecting them to the pump.
Check the Engine
• Check the oil level (page 8).
• Check the air cleaner (page 9).
• Check the fuel level (page 11). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
