Multiquip FS3SP Concrete SAW- Initial START-UP, Pull the Choke Knob up into the Open position

FS3SP CONCRETE SAW— INITIAL START-UP

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to operate the saw until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections have been read and understood. Depending on engine manufacturer, operating steps may vary. See engine manufactures

operating manual. The following start-up procedure makes reference to a HONDA 20 HP Engine.

1.Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and that it raised above the surface you about to saw.

2.Connect a hose (water source) to the water input port of the

saw (see page 50, item 2, Water System Assembly), and test for adequate flood water [ 4 to 5 gallons per minute (15 to 19 LT/min)].

3.Set the Speed Control Lever(Figure 19) to the start position(neutral)andholdleveragainstthestartmicroswitch.

NOTE

The CLOSED position of the choke lever enriches the fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine.The OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal operation after starting, and for restarting a warm engine.

5.Pull the Choke Knob (Figure 21) up into the "OPEN" position

4. . PULL the Console Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 20) to

the "PULL-ON" position.The engine governor speed has been set at the factory. Changing the governor speed could damage the blade and/or the saw.

6. Place the throttle lever (Figure 22) halfway between fast and slow for starting. All sawing is done at full throttle. The

engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum blade operating speeds.
