Starting the Water Pump

Use the following start instructions:

1.Make sure unit is on a flat, level surface and pump chamber is primed.

2.Turn fuel valve (A) to “On” position. The fuel valve handle will be vertical (pointing toward the ground).

A

3.Push on/off switch (B) to “On” position.

4.Move engine speed lever (C) to “Fast” ( ) position.

C

 

B

5.

Move choke lever (D) to “Choke” (

) position.

D

6.Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then pull handle rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback and start engine.

WARNING

Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

IMPORTANT: If excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel mixture causing a “flooded” condition, move choke lever to “Run” ( ) position and pull handle repeatedly until engine starts.

7.Move choke lever to “Run” ( ) position a short distance at a time over several seconds in warm weather or minutes in cold weather. Let engine run smoothly

before each change. Operate with choke in “Run” ( ) position.

IMPORTANT: It may take a few minutes for water pump to begin pumping water.

WARNING

Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of water transfer pump including overhead.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.

Pump output is controlled by adjusting engine speed. Moving the engine speed lever in the “Fast” ( ) direction will increase pump output, and moving the engine speed lever in the “Slow” ( ) direction will decrease pump output.
