5.While firmly grasping pump carrying handle with left hand, pull starter handle with right hand slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then pull handle rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback and start engine.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (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 “Off Choke” () position and pull handle repeatedly until engine starts.

6. Wait a maximum of 10 seconds, then move choke lever to “Half Choke” ( ) position.

7.Run the engine at “Half Choke” for 20 seconds or until unit accelerates smoothly. Move choke lever to “Off Choke” () position.

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

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

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

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of water 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 throttle lever up will increase pump output, and moving the throttle lever down will decrease pump output.
