Operation of Water Pump (continued)
Starting the Engine:
Refer to the Controls and Features section for
additional diagrams and definitions.
1.
PRIME THE PUMP.
2. Move the fuel cock to the “ON” position.
3. To start a cold engine, refer to instruction in the Controls and Features section – “2.
Choke lever”. To restart a warm engine, leave the choke level in the “OPEN” position.
4. Move the throttle valve lever away from the “LOWER” position, about 1/3 of the way
toward the “UPPER” position.
5. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.
6. Pull the recoil starting handle lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly. Do NOT
allow the starter handle to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent
damage to the starter.
Setting the Engine Speed
1. After starting the engine, move the throttle valve lever to the “UPPER” position for self-priming,
then check the pump output.
2. To adjust the pump output (which is controlled by the engine speed), move the throttle valve
lever as needed to attain desired pump output. Moving the throttle valve in the “UPPER” direction
will increase the pump output and moving the throttle valve in the “LOWER” direction will
decrease pump output.
