Translation of the Original Operating Instructions

If the unit is not used over some extended period of time, the water in the pump ought to be fully drained. Please
allow the pump to dry completely in order to prevent corrosion. Likewise, the fuel tank and the carburetor should
be emptied, too. On the units with auto-lubrication, the motor oil should be drained as well. Prior to placing the
unit in storage, it should be cleaned thoroughly and afforded some kind of preservation, should this be advisable.
Please make sure that the device is stored in a dry and frost-proof place.
If the water pump is used to pump slightly dirty water, a residue can be left in the pump. Before storage, take in
clean water with the water pump, in order to clean it.Otherwise, the pump impeller may be damaged when it is put
in service again. To clean the pump, unscrew the drain plug (2) from the pump and drain the pump
thoroughly

Troubleshooting

We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.

None of the remedial actions listed below must be performed with the engine running.

The list below shows some cases of malfunction of the device, possible causes and tips on how to eliminate
them. None of the remedial actions specified must be performed while the engine is running. If you yourself
should feel unable to remove a malfunction, please contact the customer service department or your point of sale.
Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff. Always keep in mind that
damage caused by improper repair attempts will void any warranty claims and that we decline any liability for
ensuing damage.

Should any malfunction occur, please check first whether a faulty operation or any other cause is present, i.e. that
the malfunction was not caused by a defect on the side of the device, for instance by a lack of fuel.
