OPERATION
DO NOT operate the pump in a dry state.
Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. If the pump has
been operated dry, stop the engine immediately, and allow the
pump to cool before priming.
5.3.
Priming the pump.
5.1.1.
Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump
chamber, and completely fill the pump chamber with water. Reinstall the
filler cap, and tighten it securely.
5.2.
Starting engine.
5.2.1.
Rest the unit on a flat, firm place.
5.2.2.
To start a cold engine, move the choke lever (2)
UP to the CLOSED position.
5.2.3.
Move the throttle lever (1) away from the IDLE
position, but no further than the halfway point.
5.2.4.
While holding the unit firmly, pull out the starter
rope quickly until engine fires.
5.2.5.
Move the choke lever (2) DOWN to the open
position, and pull out the starter rope quickly to
start engine. DO NOT let go of the recoil starter
handle instead allow it to return slowly.
5.2.6.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before starting
operation.
When restarting the engine immediately after stopping it, leave the
choke open and push the primer pump several times.
Over-choking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel.
When the engine fails to start after several attempts, open the choke
and repeat pulling the rope, or remove the spark plug and dry it.
