Product Operation Guide




I. Preparations before powering on 


1. Check the engine oil and diesel fuel levels, and replenish them promptly if necessary; check the coolant (for water-cooled models) to ensure the level is normal. 


2. Connect the inlet and outlet water pipes: Install a filter screen on the inlet water pipe, place water in it, and seal the connection to prevent air leakage; secure the outlet water pipe firmly to prevent it from falling off. 


3. For small hand-operated starter models: close the choke (for cold starts); for electric starter models: ensure the battery has sufficient power and turn the switch to the "ON" position. 


4. Ensure there is water in the pump chamber (water needs to be added for first-time use), close the drain valve, and open the outlet valve.


II. Startup and Operation


1. Manual start: Hold the pull rope handle, slowly pull to the resistance point, then quickly pull to start; after starting, open the choke and let it idle for 2-3 minutes. 


2. Electric start: Press the start button; a single start should not exceed 5 seconds, and the interval between consecutive starts should be ≥30 seconds; after starting, observe the pressure gauge, and gradually increase the throttle once the pressure stabilizes. 


3. Maintain a sufficient water supply during operation to prevent air from being drawn into the inlet pipe; regularly check the filter to prevent blockage by impurities. 


4. Prolonged dry running is strictly prohibited to avoid damage to the pump body due to dry friction.


III. Shutdown Operation 


1. First, reduce the throttle and let the engine idle for 3-5 minutes to cool down before turning off the switch. 


2. Close the outlet valve and disconnect the inlet and outlet water pipes; open the pump body drain valve to drain the water remaining in the pump chamber (to prevent freezing in winter or rusting during long-term storage). 


3. Clean the filter screen of impurities, wipe the machine body, and place it in a dry, well-ventilated area.


IV. Safety Precautions


1. Maintain ventilation during operation to avoid diesel engine exhaust poisoning; keep away from open flames to prevent fuel leaks from causing fires. 


2. Do not touch high-temperature components (such as exhaust pipes) while the machine is running to prevent burns. 


3. The machine must be stopped and the starting power disconnected during maintenance to prevent accidental starting.
