Starting the Engine
1. Ensure that the engine has a sufficient amount of fuel in the gas tank. (
Figure 3,
Item 1
)
2. Ensure that the fuel shut-off valve is open. (
Figure 3, Item 4
)
3. Turn the Engine switch to the on position. (
Figure 3, Item 6
)
4. If the Honda engine is cold, apply the choke. (
Figure 3, Item 3
)
5. Pull the hand starter cord until the engine starts. (
Figure 3, Item 7
)
6. Apply throttle (
Figure 3, Item 2
) and decrease the choke until it is no longer
needed. The output of the pump is regulated by how much throttle is applied (as
well as the shut-off at the nozzle, and the pump to tank return).
DRAFT PROCEDURES
Drafting From an Auxiliary Water Source

can either draft in order to fill the tank, or draft straight into the pump and out a discharge
line, bypassing the tank.
Connecting the Draft Hose
Remove the Camlock cap covering the draft hose port. Secure the draft hose Camlock
coupling to the draft hose port. (
Figure 2, Item 7
)
Drafting to Fill the Water Tank
