Pumping Using the Tank Water Supply
1. Ensure that all valves are in the proper position.
a. The tank to pump
valve should be open to pull water from the tank.
(
Figure 2, Item 6
)
b.
The 1” pump to tank should be cracked open slightly. (
Figure ,2 Item 4
)
c.
The 1” NPSH Discharge should be fully closed. (
Figure 2, Item 3
)
2. Start the engine (see next page)
3. Water can now be discharged through the reel line.
(To operate the
1” NPSH discharge, see page 14)
CAUTION! During pumping operations, the operator MUST either a) leave the
pump to tank valve open slightly to bypass water through the pump (reference
Figure 2, Item 4), or b) leave the nozzle at least partially open at all times. Doing
so ensures that there is always water circulating through the pump to keep it
from overheating. Closing both the nozzle and the pump to tank line will result
in overheating the pump and pump failure.
Starting the Engine
1. Ensure that the engine has a sufficient amount of fuel in the gas tank. (
Figure 3,
Item 1
)
2. Ensure that the fuel shut-off valve is open. (
Figure 3, Item 4
)
3. Turn the Engine switch to the on position. (
Figure 3, Item 6
)
4. If the Honda engine is cold, apply the choke. (
Figure 3, Item 3
)
5. Pull the hand starter cord until the engine starts. (
Figure 3, Item 7
