STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
2. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position.
Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or the ambient
temperature is high.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Move the throttle control lever slightly to the left.
5. Pull the starter grip
lightly until resistance
is felt, then pull it
briskly.
NOTICE
Return the starter grip
slowly back to the
engine to prevent
damage to the starter.
6. As the engine warms
up, gradually move
the choke lever to the
OPEN position.
7. Set the throttle to the
desired speed to
produce the best
pumping conditions.
Pump output can be
controlled by adjusting
the throttle lever to the
desired position.
At FULL throttle position, the pump will deliver the highest output
volume. Moving the throttle toward the IDLE position will decrease
the output volume of the pump.
STOPPING THE ENGINE

Emergency

To stop the engine in an
emergency, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF
position.

Normal

1. Move the throttle lever
fully to the right to the
IDLE position.
2. Turn the ignition switch
to the OFF position.
3. Turn the fuel valve to
the OFF position.
4. After each use, drain
the pump chamber and
flush with fresh water
(page 12).
5. If your equipment will not be used for 3 to 4 weeks, we recommend
running the engine’s carburetor out of fuel. You can do this by
leaving the fuel valve OFF, restarting the engine and running it out
of fuel. See ”STORAGE PREPARATION” on page15. for periods
of inactivity that exceed 4 weeks.
