Multiquip QP2E Operation, Stopping the Engine, Always run engine at full speed while pumping

OPERATION

NOTICE

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.

12.Place the throttle lever (Figure 9) halfway between fast and slow.

13.Grasp the starter grip (Figure 10) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding the compression point. Rewind the rope a little from that point and pull out sharply.

CAUTION

DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end.

DO NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as possible.

14.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 8) to the CLOSED position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 5.

15.Before the pump is put into operation run the engine for 3-5 minutes.

16.Check for fuel leaks and noises that would be associated with a loose component.Check for leaks between pump and engine. If water is leaking between the pump and engine housing, the seal inside the pump may be worn or damaged. Continued operation of the pump is not recommended. Further usage of the pump under these conditions may cause severe water damage to engine.

OPERATION

1.Once the engine has started, move the engine throttle lever quickly to the fast position to begin pumping. If water is not fl owing out of the discharge port, turn off the engine and check for and clear any obstructions within the suction hose.

WARNING

Water must always be flowing through the pump casing while the engine is running. Loss of fl ow may be the result of a loss of prime, restricted water flow or a dead- head situation. Please note that in such a condition, water in the pump can reach temperatures of 150-200°F in 15 to 20 minutes. This can cause serious burns if this hot water comes into contact with unprotected skin. Before touching or opening the fi ll plug or drain plug,

first turn off the engine and allow the pump casing to cool to the touch, and then open the pump carefully. Be cautious of any built up water pressure.

CAUTION

ALWAYS run engine at full speed while pumping.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Place the throttle lever (Figure 9) in slow position, and listen for the engine speed to decrease.

2.Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 7) in the "OFF" position.

3.Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 6) in the "OFF" position.
