OPERATION

CAUTION

DO NOT attempt to operate the pump until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections of this manual have been read and thoroughly understood.

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the pump. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the pump in the field.

Starting the Engine (HONDA)

1.Place the engine fuel valve lever (See Figure 6) to the “ON” position.

Figure 6. Engine Fuel Valve Lever (ON Position)

2.Move the throttle lever (See Figure 7) away from the slow position, about 1/3 of the way toward the fast position.

3.Place the choke lever (See Figure 8) in the “CLOSED” position if starting a cold engine.
