• You may need to refill oil approximately every 10 operating hours (every 10 refuelings).
• If the oil changes in color or mixes with dirt, replace it with new one.
• Recommended oil: SAE 10W-30 oil of API Classification, Class SF or higher (4-stroke engine for the automobile)

Oil volume:

• For model EW1050H: Approx. 0.08L
• For model EW1060H: Approx. 0.1L

NOTE:

• If the engine is not positioned horizontal, an inaccurate indication of oil level may occur and oil may be overfilled. Filling oil above the upper limit may cause oil contamination or white smoke.

Refilling engine oil

1. Keep the engine in a horizontal position, and detach the oil gauge.
2. Fill with oil to upper limit mark. Use oil bottle when filling.
3. Securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufficient tightening may cause oil leakage.

After refilling oil

• Wipe any spilled oil with a rag immediately.

Replacement of oil: Oil gauge

• Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port.
• Keep the detached oil gauge free from sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil cap may result in problems with irregular oil circulation or wear on the engine parts.

FUEL

WARNING

• Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous. Keep away from open flames (cigarette, stove, fireworks), electric spark (battery, short circuit, spark from shorted switch, welding spark etc.) when handling the fuel.
• Be sure to stop the engine before refueling. Do not refuel when the engine is still hot.
• Other than the occasion of refueling, even when decanting fuel to small container, always pay ample attention.
• After refueling, securely tighten the fuel tank cap, and wipe out spilled fuel completely.

Handling of fuel
It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufficiently ventilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the skin becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still irritated, consult your doctor. Storage period of fuel Fuel should be used within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated and shaded area. Otherwise, fuel may deteriorate in one day. Storage of machine and refill tank

• Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunlight.
• Never keep the fuel in a car.

Type of fuel:
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an unleaded automobile gasoline 87 or higher octane ((R+M)/2). It may contain no more than 10% alcohol (E- 10).

• Never use a gasoline mixture that contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles.

Fuel tank capacity:

• For model EW1050H: 0.5L
• For model EW1060H: 0.65L

Refueling

• Keep the engine in a horizontal position.
• Loosen the fuel tank cap a little to release the tank pressure.
• Detach the fuel tank cap, and refuel. DO NOT fill fuel up to the top of the tank.
• After refueling, securely tighten the fuel tank cap.
  • Wipe the outside of the fuel tank cap to prevent debris from entering into the fuel tank.
  • If there is any flaw or damage on the fuel tank cap, replace it.
  • The fuel tank cap wears out in course of time. Replace it every two to three years.
  • DO NOT put fuel in the oil fill port

Priming water

CAUTION:

• Do not start the pump without water in the pump case. Otherwise mechanical seal could be damaged. Remove priming plug and add clear water until pump case is filled up with water. After filling tighten the priming plug.

NOTE:

• If the water intake is not sufficient, self-priming capacity becomes lower.
• Be sure the pump is placed on the firm place and as near to available water source as possible.
• The higher the suction head is the more time will be required for priming with a less discharge.

CHECKING ENGINE:

• Carefully check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and fuel leakage. Leaked fuel creates a potentially dangerous situation.
• Check bolts and nuts for looseness. If any, retighten them. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine trouble.
• Check the engine oil and refill if necessary.
• Check the fuel level and refill if necessary. Take care not to overfill the tank.
• Keep cylinder fins and recoil starter free of dirt, grass and other debris.
• Wear snug fitting working clothes when operating the engine.

OPERATION

WARNING:

• Never touch a hot engine muffler especially when restarting the engine. The engine muffler becomes hot after running the engine.
• Do not put your hands or foreign objects in the release valves when the pump is in use.

WARNING:
Beware of water-hammering: Do not allow the wheel of a vehicle to run over the delivery hose. Do not close the delivery valve abruptly, because a water-hammer will occur which may result in heavy damage to the pump.

Starting:

CAUTION:
Because the lubricating oil has not yet spread enough, do not rev up the engine just after engine starts. Unnecessary high-revolution shortens life of the equipment or cause damage.

1. Check that the pump case is filled with water.
2. Check that the strainer is set under the water.

CAUTION:

Employ some preventive method when the bottom of the water is covered with mud or sand.

1.  Check there is no obstacle on the mouth of the delivery hose.
2.  Turn the engine I-O (ON/OFF) switch to the “I” (ON) position.
3. Check that the throttle lever indicates “L”.
4. Continue to push the primer pump until fuel comes into the primer pump. (In general, 7 to 10 pushes.)
5. Adjust the choke lever.
   • If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, close the choke lever fully.
   • If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high, open the choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open.
6.  Pull the starter knob gently until a certain resistance is felt. Then, return the starter knob, and pull it strongly. Never pull the rope to the full extension. Once the starter knob is pulled, never release your hand immediately. Hold the starter knob until it returns to its original point. If it is difficult to start the engine, open the throttle by about 1/3.
7. Once engine starts, set choke lever to the OPEN position if you have closed the choke lever.
8. Allow the engine to properly “warm up”. Continue warm-up operation for 2 to 3 minutes at “L” position.

Running engine: Turn the throttle lever to middle position, and check water come out from the delivery hose.

Finishing operation Stopping engine
Turn the throttle lever to “L” position to set the engine at the lowest revolution. Turn the engine I-O (ON/OFF) switch to the “O” (OFF) position.

The drain of water after use:
Water inside the pump case freezes at below 0°C in winter and pump may possibly break. After use, drain water from the drain at bottom to store.

SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

• Before doing any work on the equipment, always stop the engine. Do not perform any work when the engine is still hot.
