OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2-1 Operating Controls
A.
The centrifugal pump is operated using the engine operating controls. The engine controls
are located at the engine end of the pump frame.
B.
The controls consist of a throttle lever (for speed control), choke lever (for cold weather
starting), fuel shutoff lever (to prevent fuel spills), and a recoil starter (to turnover engine
by hand). (Refer to Figure 2-1.)
2-2. Check the Engine Oil Level
CAUTION:
•
ENGINE OIL IS A MAJOR FACTOR AFFECTING PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE LIFE.
NON-DETERGENT OILS AND 2-STROKE OILS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE
THEY HAVE INADEQUATE LUBRICATING CHARACTERISTICS
•
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL WITH THE ENGINE ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND THE ENGINE
STOPPED.
A.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or use an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil cer-
tified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service
Classification SG, SF. Motor oils classified SG, SF will show this designation on the con-
tainer. SAE 10W/30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use.
B.
Other viscosity grades (see Figure 2-2) may be used when the average temperature in your
area is within the indicated range.
