3. Proper use

The machine is suitable for irrigating and watering landscaped areas, vegetable beds and gardens and for operating lawn sprinklers. The water can be taken from ponds, streams, rainwater butts, rainwater cisterns and springs if an initial filter is fitted. The maximum temperature of the fluid must not exceed +35^ if the machine is operated permanently. Clean water (sweet water), rainwater and low concentrations of washing lye can be used as the transport medium. The machine must not be used to transport infl ammable, gassing, explosive and aggressive fl uids (such as petrol, acids, lyes, silo percolating juice, etc.) and fl uids that contain abrasive substances (such as sand).

GB

The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

4. Technical data

Engine type: 4-stroke engine; air-cooled Max. engine output: 1.2 kW / 1.6 bhp Displacement: 98 cc Fuel: Regular unleaded petrol Tank capacity: 1.4 l Oil volume: 400 ml Spark plug: Torch E5RTC Max. intake head: 7 m Max. delivery head: 16 m Max. pressure: 1.6 bar Weight (with empty tank): 12.4 kg Intake/Discharge connector: 1.5" hose connection

5. Before starting the equipment

Fit the carry handle as shown in Figure 4-5.

As a basic principle, we recommend the use of a preliminary fi-Iter and a suction set with suction hose, suction strainer and non-return valve, in order to prevent long priming periods and unnecessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid foreign bodies.

5.1 Preparing the machine

• Fill the engine with engine oil (see also point 7.2.1 Oil change).
  • Fill the tank with petrol.
• Place the machine on a flat, firm surface.

5.2 Connecting and routing the intake and discharge lines

• Connect the intake line to the intake connection (Figure 1 / Item 5) and the discharge line to the discharge connection (Figure 1 / Item 4).
• Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the pump. It is essential that you do not route the intake line above the height of the pump. Air bubbles in the intake line will slow down and prevent the intake process.
  • Install the intake and discharge lines in such a way that they do not exert any mechanical pressure on the pump.
• The intake valve should be low enough in the water to ensure that if the water level falls, the pump will not run dry.
• A leaking intake line will draw in air and therefore not draw in any water.
• Do not draw in any foreign bodies (sand, etc.). If necessary install an initial filter.

6. Operation

The pump must be filled with the transport fluid at the filler neck (Figure 1 / Item 3) before the engine is started.

Note: We advise that you install a non-return valve in the intake line and fill it with water before you start the machine for the first time.

6.1 Starting the engine

1. Set the On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 10) to "ON".
2. Set the petrol cock (Figure 6 / Item A) to the "ON" position.
3. If the engine is cold, set the choke lever (Figure 6 / Item B) to "Choke".
4. Move the throttle lever (Figure 6 / Item C) to the center position.
5. Pull the starter cord (Figure 6 / Item D) until the engine starts.
6. When the engine has been running for approx. 30 seconds, move the choke lever to "Run".
   If the engine is warm, leave the choke lever in the "Run" position when starting.

6.2 Intake process

• During the priming process, the shut-off devices present in the pressure pipe (spray nozzles, valves etc.) must be completely open so that the air in the suction pipe can escape freely.
• Depending on the suction height and the air quantity in the suction pipe, the initial priming process can last for approx. 0.5 min. – 5 min. In the case of longer priming periods, top up again with water.
• If the pump is removed after use, it is essential that it is filled with water again the next time it is connected and started.

6.3 Stopping the engine

- Set the On/Off switch to "OFF".

- Close the petrol cock.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Disconnect the spark plug boot before doing any cleaning and maintenance work!

7.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

7.2 Maintenance

In this connection, please also read the attached service information

7.2.1 Changing the oil

The engine oil is best changed when the engine is at working temperature

• Use only engine oil.
- Place the machine on a slightly inclined surface so that the oil drain plug is at the lower end (Figure 7 / Item A).
- Remove the oil filler screw (Figure 7 / Item B).
- Remove the oil drain plug and drain the warm engine oil into a suitable container.
• After all the oil has drained, screw in the oil drain plug and place the machine on a flat surface.
- Insert fresh engine oil up to the top mark on the oil dipstick (Figure 8 / Item H). Important. Only inset the oil dipstick to check the oil level. Do not screw it in.

While the machine is working, the oil level must be between the two marks "L" and "H" (Figure 8). Dispose of the waste oil properly.

7.2.2 Air fi Iter

Clean the air filter at regular intervals, and replace it if necessary.

• Remove the air filter cover (Figure 9-10)
• Remove the filter insert (Figure 11)
• Clean the air filter by tapping it, blowing it out with compressed air or by washing it with soap suds. Important. Leave the air filter to dry before you refit it.
  • Assemble in reverse order.

7.2.3 Spark plug

Clean the spark plug at regular intervals, and replace it if necessary. Set the electrode gap to 0.6 mm.

• Remove the spark plug boot by twisting it (Figure 12)
• Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench (Figure 13)
• Clean the spark plug with a copper wire brush or fit a new one.
  • Assemble in reverse order.

GB

7.2.4 Fuel fi Iter

- Remove the fuel line (Figure 14)

• Unscrew the fuel filter from the tank (Figure 15)
- Clean the fuel filter with compressed air. Ensure that you do not damage the filter.
• Assemble in reverse order.

7.3 Storage

• Rinse the pump thoroughly with water before lengthy periods of inactivity or winter storage.
• Close the petrol cock and allow the engine to run until it stops to empty the carburetor.
  • Fill the tank fully to prevent rust formation.
• Remove the drain plug (Figure 1 / Item 6) and fully drain the pump housing.
• Store the machine in a dry place out of the reach of children.

7.4 Ordering replacement parts:
