1.2 Instructions and safety regulations (personal protection)
Never operate the motor pump without having ascended the covers and closed all access doors.
Never remove the protective covers or open access doors if the water pump is running.

1.2.1 General advice
On receipt of the electric pump, check that the equipment is in good condition and that the order is complete. The handling of a
motor pump should be done smoothly without brute force, taking care to prepare its installation or storage location in advance.
Before each use:
- learn how to stop the motor pump in an emergency,
- fully understand all the commands and manoeuvres.
In the interests of safety, always adhere to the maintenance schedule (see maintenance table). Never carry out repairs or
maintenance operations without the necessary experience and/or correct tools.
Never allow any other person to use the motor pump without having been given the necessary instructions beforehand.
Never allow a child to touch the motor pump, even when it is shut down. Avoid operating the motor pump in the presence of animals
(fear, aggravation, etc.).
Never start the engine without an air filter or exhaust.
Never invert the positive & negative terminals while installing the batteries (if equipped): an inversion can cause serious damage to
the electrical equipment.
Never cover the motor pump with any material during its operation or immediately after stoppage (wait for the engine to cool down).
Never coat the motor pump with oil, even to protect it from corrosion; preservative oils are inflammable & dangerous if inhaled.
In all situations, follow current local regulations concerning the usage of motor pumps.
1.2.2 Safety guidelines to prevent fire
Never operate the motor pump in an area containing explosive materials (risk of sparks).
Remove all inflammable or explosive material (petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) during operation of
the motor pump.
Never cover the motor pump with any material during its operation or immediately after its
stoppage: always wait for the engine to cool down.
1.2.3 Safety guidelines against burns
Never touch the engine or the exhaust silencer during operation of the motor pump or immediately after its
stoppage.
Hot oil causes burns, avoid contact with the skin. Before any intervention, ensure that the system is no longer under pressure.
Never start or run the engine without the oil filler plug (oil discharge risk).
1.2.4 Danger of moving parts
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that
is not enclosed in a protective hair net.
Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.
1.2.5 Safety guidelines for exhaust gases
Carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases may lead to death if the concentration ratio is high
than in the air that one breathes.
Always use the motor pump in a well ventilated area where the gases will not accumulate.
Keeping safety in mind and for the proper operation of the motor pump, good ventilation is essential (risk of intoxication, engine
overheating, accidents or damage to surrounding equipment and assets). If operation inside a building is necessary, it is absolutely
imperative that exhaust gases are evacuated to the exterior, and that adequate ventilation is provided so that any people or animals
present are in no way affected.
1.2.6 Protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a container provided for that purpose: never drain or spill engine oil onto the floor.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberation onto the walls or other structures (amplification of volume).
For motor pump usage in wooded or scrub areas or on grassy terrain, and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester,
clear a sufficiently large area and take extra care that the sparks cannot cause a fire.
1.2.7 Filling with fuel
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Filling should be carried out with the engine turned off. Smoking, using a naked flame or
producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
Storage and handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time
the tank has been filled. Never top up with fuel when the electric pump is in operation or hot.
Always position the electric pump on level, flat and horizontal ground to avoid fuel spillage on the engine. Top up the fuel tank with
a funnel while taking care not to spill any fuel, then retighten the fuel tank cap.

2 Key to illustrations
The cover illustrations can be used to identify the various components. The procedures in the manual refer to these illustrations
using letters and numbers as identifiers, for example, "A; 1" refers to the number 1 on figure A.

3 Preparation before use
3.1 Positioning the generating set for operation
Place the motor pump on a sufficiently strong, flat and horizontal surface so that the electric pump cannot sink in (the inclination
must not exceed 10° in any direction).
Select a clean location, ventilated and protected from inclement weather, and provide an oil and fuel supply close to the place of
motor pump usage, while still maintaining a safe distance.
Select a location which will not impede the movement of people or vehicles.
Make sure that the motor pump remains stable and immobile while in operation. Don’t forget that the suction hose tends to pull the
motor pump towards the water source during pumping.
Place the motor pump as close as possible to the liquid being drawn-in. The shorter the vertical distance between the motor pump
and the liquid surface, the more rapid the priming and the greater the volume of liquid pumped.
Submerge the strainer completely within the liquid, taking care that it is not blocked.
3.2 Checking the oil level
Before starting the generating set, always check the oil level. If the generating set was used beforehand, leave
the generating set to cool for at least 30 minutes before checking the oil level.
Top up the tank with the recommended oil (see § Specifications) using a funnel.
1. Remove the oil dipstick/filler plug (B - 2) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
2. Insert the oil dipstick/filler plug in the filler neck (B - 3) without tightening it, then take it out again.
3. Check the level and top up if necessary.
4. Retighten the dipstick/filler plug fully in the filler neck.
5. Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.
OR
1. Take out the oil filler cap (B - 4). The level should be at the filler neck overflow point. Top up if necessary.
2. Screw the oil filler cap back on fully
3. Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.
3.3 Checking the fuel level
RISK OF EXPLOSION
Respect the local regulations in force concerning the handling of petroleum products.
Filling should be carried out with the engine switched off and cold. Smoking, using a
naked flame or producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
After filling, always check that the tank cap is properly tightened. Clean any traces of fuel
with a clean cloth and wait until the vapours have dispersed before starting the engine.
1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A - 1).
2. Visually check the fuel level.
3. If necessary, top up with clean fuel free from water:
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel.
Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck).
4. Screw the fuel tank cap back on.
3.4 Checking the air filter
Leave the air inlet hose in place during the operation; never undo the air inlet hose clip. Never use petrol or
flammable solvents for cleaning the air filter element (risk of fire or explosion).
1. Remove the nut & the air filter cover (D - 1 & D - 2).
2. Remove the wing nut (D - 3) then the filtering elements (D - 5 & D - 4) & visually check their condition.
3. Clean or replace the elements if necessary (see. § Clean or replace the air filter).
4. Refit the filter elements, wing nut, then the cover and its nut.

4 Usage of the motor pump
