NOTE

•There is no need to operate the primer when restart- ing immediately after stopping the engine, provided there is fuel left in the fuel tank.

2.Lift the choke lever on the right of the air cleaner until it is in the "closed" position, then open the throttle le- ver on the main unit side about 1/3-1/2 from the "slow" position.

IMPORTANT

•If the rope is pulled continuously with the choke closed, the spark plugs may become flooded and the engine may fail to start. If so, you should first remove the spark plugs and dry the electrodes, then repeat the starting procedure.

5.Operate the engine at a half throttle until the water in suction hose reaches the pump. As water discharge is started, adjust the throttle according to your required flow rate within the capacity.

■Stopping engine

WARNING

• Stop the engine immediately in the event of an emergency.

1.Lower the throttle lever fully and cool the engine down for 1-2 minutes at low speed.

2.Shift the engine stop switch to the STOP position.

IMPORTANT

•Do not pull the rope out completely or release the knob so that the rope returns, as this can cause starter mal- function.

4.Once the engine has started, gradually open the choke, warm up at low speed for 1-2 minutes, then return the throttle lever to the "slow" position.

GB-8

•Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine while pulling the throttle trigger.

•If the water resource tank becomes empty while operat- ing, reduce the engine to low speed immediately. Empty running of the engine may cause the pump to break.

■AFTER USE

1.Release a drain plug at lower part of the pump and drain the water out of the pump.

2.Disconnect the hoses, clean them for storage.

IMPORTANT

•During cold climate, be sure to drain the pump after every use. At an ambient temperature below freezing point, the water in the pump casing may freeze and damage the pump.

■Disposal

When disposing your machine, fuel or oil for the machine, be sure to allow your local regulations.
