QUICK GUIDE
5. Start the engine.
a. Close/engage choke, if engine is cold.
b. Increase throttle past the idle position.
c. Position the ignition switch to the ON position.
d. Turn the engine switch to START position until the engine starts. DO NOT hold for more than 5 seconds.
e. Open/disengage choke.
f. Allow the engine to warm up for at least 2 minutes before using full throttle.
6. Discharge water.
Once the pump is primed, and with the engine running, you can begin to discharge water.
a. If pressure does not build in the discharge hose, the pump has not been fully primed. The discharge valve
should be closed and the pump primed again.
b. Adjust the pump performance by throttling the engine up or down, or opening or closing discharge valves at
various positions, or any combination of the two.
!!
DO NOT
leave the pump running with all the discharge valves closed for more than one minute, or else the pump
may overheat and become damaged. To avoid this, a re-circulation line (if provided) should be opened or a discharge
line left slightly open to allow fresh water to continue to enter the pump.
