smaller  diameters  of  hose  may  degrade 
performance. 

If  greater  hose   lengths  are 

required, larger diameter hose must be used.

Connect  the  gun  to  the  high  pressure 
hose  (Figure  15)  and  submerge  the  gun  
in water.

Restart the feed pump (Figure 13).

It is recommended that the gun trigger  
be in the open or “ON” position   (Figure 
19)  when  starting  the  engine.  This  will 
prevent  a  pressure  shock  wave  from 
damaging  the  pump  in  the  instant  that  
the engine is started.

Apply appropriate hearing protection prior to starting the engine

Insert the key into the ignition  switch on the side of the engine (Figure 16). Pull the choke 
knob (Figure 17) out to close the choke if the engine is cold or has not been running. If the 
engine has been running and is warm, leave the choke open. Adjust the throttle lever   (Figure 
18) one-third of the way from “MIN” toward “MAX” for correct engine RPM. Turn the key 
clockwise to the “START” position. If the engine does not start within 5 seconds, release the 
key  and wait at  least  10  seconds  before operating the starter  again.  When  the engine starts, 
release the key, allowing it to return to the “ON” position and open the choke if it is closed.
