QUICK GUIDE
5. Start the engine.
a. With all valves closed, turn the on/off ignition key or switch (if
equipped with a Control Panel) to the “ON” position.
b. Open fuel valve.
c. Close/engage choke, if engine is cold.
d. Increase throttle past the idle position.
e. Start the engine using the key switch or the start button. Hold until
engine starts. DO NOT HOLD for more than 5 seconds. If starting
using the rewind starter, ensure that the key switch or ignition
switch (if equipped with a Control Panel) is on the "ON" position.
Give starter rope a quick steady pull until engine starts.
f. Open/disengage choke.
g.
Allow the engine to warm up for at least 2 minutes before using
full throttle.

6. Engage the exhaust primer.
a. Open priming valve (located off the top port of the pump intake).
b. Adjust the THROTTLE to the full speed position.
c. Close and press down firmly on muffler-lever-handle or pull
priming knob (if supplied with a panel mount control panel) until a
solid stream of water flows from priming ejector.
d.
Close the priming valve
and re-open the muffler-lever-
handle/butterfly valve. The check valve will open automatically
under the water pressure when priming occurs.
e.
Slowly
open a discharge valve to validate that the pump has
been primed. If pressure does not build in the discharge hose, the
pump has not been fully primed. The valve should be closed and
the pump primed again. Continue this process until the pump has
been fully primed.
f. Reduce throttle setting and allow engine to warm up for at least 2
minutes before using full throttle.
Exhaust Primer (optional)
7. 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.
