Figure 3-12. Engine Recoil

6. Grasp recoil handle (E) and pull slowly

until you feel some resistance. Then pull

rapidly to start engine. Return recoil

handle slowly. DO NOT let recoil snap

back against recoil housing.

7. When engine starts, slowly move choke

lever to OPEN position as engine warms.

If engine falters, move choke lever to

CLOSE position, then to OPEN position.

If engine fails to start after six pulls, move

choke lever to “OPEN” position, and repeat

step 6.
8. When the engine is running smoothly,

adjust the throttle lever to set the desired

engine speed.

.

Preventing Water Hammer

Water hammer occurs when the discharge

flow is suddenly blocked or stopped.

Pressurized water trapped inside the pump

can crack the pump housing. To prevent water

hammer:
• Do not close the discharge valve while the

pump is operating.

• Do not allow vehicles to drive over the

discharge hose.

• Do not abruptly compress the discharge

hose.

Water Pump Shut Down

1. Move throttle lever from fast to slow.
2. Turn engine switch OFF.
3. Move fuel valve lever to OFF position.
4. Allow the engine to cool thoroughly.
