PRE START CHECKLIST
•
Once you reach this point ensure you have done the following:
•
All safety instructions read and understood
•
All hose connections are tightened and hoses free of kinks
•
Adequate amounts of lubrication and fuel have been added to
the engine & pump drive, breath plug fitted to pump.
•
Water source connected and turned on; Note: cold water only
•
All operation instructions read and understood
* P
ump oiled at factory – Replace transport plug with breather.
Preparation before starting:
•
Add SAE 30 oil (SAE 10W30 multigrade for cold climates) to the engine (1100ml)
Note: There will be a residual amount of oil in the engine from factory testing
•
Check the engine has an adequate fuel supply (unleaded, regular gasoline)
•
Make sure that the work area has sufficient ventilation
•
Ensure the ignition cable is secured to the spark plug
•
Ensure water supply is turned on
1. Turn the fuel cock to the on position
2. Move the engine switch to the “on” position
3. Move the choke lever to the on position
ON
OFF
TO START:
4. Pull the trigger gun lever, to prevent pressure build up within the pump while starting. For safety reasons
ensure the nozzle is removed whenever starting the unit. Note * Failure to open the trigger valve while
starting, may overload the recoil starter causing damage to the mechanism.
5. Engage the recoil starter by pulling the rope handle out 25 to 50mm (1 to 2”).
6. Then deliver a short sharp pull to crank the engine over. In general most units will
fire and start on choke after two or three pulls. Do not let rope “snap back” against
starter.
7. Reduce choke as the engine warms up. The choke should be completely off after 2 or 3 minutes.
