5. Move ignition switch to ON position.
6. Place foot on frame or skid to prevent movement.
7. Pull the starting handle slowly to bleed off some compression; then, pull with a quick
short stroke. Repeat as necessary.
8. When engine starts, slowly open choke. 9. Slowly open discharge valve.
10. Set throttle to desired operating point.
NOTE: When operating from draft, especially
on
high lifts, do not increase engine
speed without a corresponding increase in pump pressure. If the engine speed
increases with no increase in flow or pressure reduce the throttle setting until the
pressure of flow decreases slightly and operate at that point.
STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Idle engine by pushing throttle lever down.
2. Move ON/OFF switch to off position.
3. Disconnect fuel caddie quick disconnect coupling, close cap and store fuel line (skid
unit). Simply close the fuel tank vent on the frame unit.
4. Restart engine, with water flowing through pump, and allow to idle until it stops from
lack of fuel (skid unit).
5. Allow lines to drain. Disconnect hoses.
CAUTION: Be careful not to touch the, exterior of the engine, especially the
muffler and the surrounding area. The engine is hot enough to cause injury.
6. Without inlet and discharge caps in place, drain pump by tilting inlet end of pump
downward. Open the priming valve and operate the priming pump until all water is
discharged. When pump is drained, replace caps to prevent damage to threads.
RELAY PROCEDURE
For pumping water over long distances or up high vertical rises, it may be
necessary to use several pumps in series.
When this is done, pressure, (not exceeding 100 PSI), should be maintained at
the inlet of the second and subsequent pumps. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE:
