The FloodRite’s diesel pump engine is started as follows, refer to Figure 6:

Figure 6 – Engine Start-up (Typical for both Diesel and Petrol Engines)
3. Switch ON the control box on-off switch – the red indicator lamp will illuminate.
CAUTION! Ensure the engine’s throttle is set to idle or just above if the engine
is cold. Do not adjust the throttle to maximum speed until the engine has
warmed up.
4. If starting cold, set the engine’s throttle to idle (low revs). If restarting a warm engine, the throttle can be
set at normal engine operating speed.
NOTE! The remote control unit must be within range of the FloodRite™ unit.
Typically, it would be kept in the vehicle’s cab, handy to the operator.
5. Turn ON the remote control unit by pressing the ON/OFF button (refer to Figure 5).
6. Press and hold the START button for about 3 seconds. The engine should crank and start. Release the
button as soon as it starts.
7. When the engine needs to be stopped, press the STOP button.
If the FloodRite™ is not going to be used within the next few hours, shut the system down as follows:
1. Turn the control box on-off switch to OFF.
2. Switch the battery isolator to OFF.
3. Turn the fuel tap to OFF.
