and adjust throttle for desired output.
b) Alternate Priming Method: If the inlet hose is fitted with a foot valve, the pump may be primed
by jabbing the end of the inlet hose in and out of the water until water expands the discharge
hose. The discharge line MUST be open when this method is used. Be sure the priming valve is
closed before starting engine.
OPERATION STARTING PROCEDURE
WARNING: DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA! Exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide which is an odorless and poisonous gas. Be
sure the area is well ventilated.
1. Make sure there is a FRESH mixture of gasoline and oil in the tank. Refer to “Fuel Specifications,” for proper
amounts and type.
2. Connect fuel caddie to fuel line connector on engine base. Squeeze and release the priming bulb until
resistance is felt, indicating the fuel line is full. Further action will pump fuel past the check valve into the
carburetor, flooding it.
3. Close Choke
4. Open throttle slightly (1/4). Closed is down
5. Move ignition switch to “ON” position
6. Place foot on frame 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 further increase in flow or pressure, reduce the throttle setting until the pressure or
flow decreases slightly and operate at that point.
WARNING: Do not change or fill fuel while the engine running. Fill fuel tank out-of-
doors and away from any source of ignition. Wipe up any spills.
