1. Introduktion
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Pretul MOTB-3P Self-Priming Gasoline Water Pump. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the pump and keep it for future reference.
The Pretul MOTB-3P is a robust 6.5 HP gasoline-powered water pump designed for transferring large volumes of clean water. It is ideal for various applications including irrigation systems, well pumping, agricultural use, and construction sites, especially in areas without easy access to electricity. The pump features an aluminum casing and an iron impeller for durability, and includes a low oil level sensor for engine protection.

2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger
Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
- Brændstofsikkerhed: Gasoline is highly flammable. Always refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke or allow open flames near the pump. Store gasoline in approved containers.
- Udstødningsgasser: The engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. Operate the pump only in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Never operate indoors.
- Varme overflader: Motoren og lyddæmperen bliver meget varme under drift og forbliver varme i et stykke tid efter slukning. Undgå kontakt for at forhindre forbrændinger.
- Bevægelige dele: Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts to prevent injury.
- Øjenbeskyttelse: Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating or servicing the pump.
- Stabil overflade: Operate the pump on a level, stable surface to prevent tipping and fuel spills.
- Kun vand: This pump is designed for clean water only. Do not pump flammable liquids, corrosive chemicals, or water containing large debris.
- Børn og kæledyr: Hold børn og kæledyr væk fra operationsområdet.

4. Opsætning og indledende forberedelse
4.1 Udpakning og inspektion
Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Ensure all components listed in the packaging are present. Refer to Figure 5 for an image of the product packaging.

4.2 Påfyldning af motorolie
VIGTIG: Before starting the engine for the first time, you skal add 4-stroke engine oil (SAE 10W-30) to the oil reservoir. The engine is shipped without oil. Operating the engine without oil will cause severe damage and void the warranty.
- Placer pumpen på en plan overflade.
- Locate the oil fill cap (refer to Figure 2).
- Skru oliepåfyldningsdækslet/målepinden af og fjern den.
- Slowly add SAE 10W-30 4-stroke engine oil until it reaches the upper limit mark on the dipstick or the edge of the oil fill opening. Do not overfill.
- Sæt oliepåfyldningsdækslet sikkert på igen.
4.3 Påfyldning af brændstof
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 or mixed fuels.
- Sørg for, at motoren er slukket og afkølet.
- Locate the fuel tank cap (refer to Figure 2).
- Skru brændstoftankens dæksel af.
- Carefully fill the fuel tank, leaving a small air gap at the top to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
- Sæt brændstoftankdækslet sikkert på igen. Tør straks spildt brændstof op.
4.4 Tilslutning af slanger
Connect appropriate suction and discharge hoses to the water inlet and outlet ports (refer to Figure 2). Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks, which can affect pump performance. A foot valve with a strainer should be attached to the end of the suction hose to prevent debris from entering the pump and to maintain prime.
4.5 Spædning af pumpen
As a self-priming pump, it still requires initial priming. The pump must be filled with water before starting the engine to create a vacuum for suction.
- Remove the purge plug (priming plug) located on top of the pump housing (refer to Figure 2).
- Slowly fill the pump housing with clean water until it overflows from the priming port.
- Securely replace the purge plug.
5. Betjening
5.1 Start af motoren
- Ensure the pump is properly primed and hoses are connected.
- Open the fuel valve (if applicable).
- Move the choke lever to the "CLOSED" or "START" position (for cold starts).
- Flyt gashåndtaget til "HURTIG"-positionen.
- Træk fast og jævnt i snorstarterhåndtaget, indtil motoren starter. Lad ikke snoren springe tilbage.
- Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "OPEN" or "RUN" position as the engine warms up.
5.2 Pumpning af vand
Once the engine is running smoothly, the pump will begin to draw water. Monitor the water flow and ensure there are no leaks. The pump has a maximum flow rate of 900 L/min, a maximum pumping height of 25 m, and a maximum suction depth of 5 m.

5.3 Standsning af motoren
- Move the throttle lever to the "SLOW" or "IDLE" position and allow the engine to cool down for a few minutes.
- Drej motorkontakten til "OFF"-positionen.
- Close the fuel valve (if applicable).
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your water pump.
6.1 Kontrol og skift af motorolie
- Før hver brug: Kontroller motoroliestanden og efterfyld om nødvendigt.
- Første 20 timer: Skift motorolien efter de første 20 timers drift.
- Hver 50. time eller årligt: Change the engine oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year.
6.2 Vedligeholdelse af luftfilter
- Hver 50. time eller årligt: Inspect and clean the air filter. Replace if damaged or excessively dirty.
6.3 Tændrørsinspektion
- Hver 100. time eller årligt: Inspect the spark plug for wear and proper gap. Clean or replace as needed.
6.4 Pump Housing Drainage
- After each use, especially before storage or in freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump housing by removing the water drain plug (refer to Figure 2).
6.5 Opbevaring
Til langtidsopbevaring:
- Tøm brændstoftanken, eller tilsæt en brændstofstabilisator.
- Drain the carburetor bowl.
- Skift motorolien.
- Fjern tændrøret og hæld en lille mængde motorolie i cylinderen. Træk i rekylstarteren et par gange for at fordele olien, og sæt derefter tændrøret i igen.
- Clean the exterior of the pump.
- Opbevares rent, tørt og godt ventileret, væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
