Most of the controls and indicators
necessary for the operation of the pump
are located on the operator panel.
The pump operator should become
thoroughly familiar with the location and
function of all pump controls and

The controls and indicators along with
their functions are as follows:

is located on the left side of the
instrument panel and controls the

to obtain the required flow. The lever
is a slide type "T"-handle that is
infinitely adjustable from SLOW

button and is used to close the
electrical circuits on the pump to
enable operation. This is a rocker
type switch which when the (❍ ❍ ❍ ❍ ❍) side
is depressed energizes the electrical
system to enable pump operation.
When the (—)side is depressed the
electrical system is disconnected and
the pump stops.
3. START BUTTON ( ): The start
button is located to the right of the
throttle lever and is used to start the
engine. Depressing the button after

starter on the pump engine. After
the button is released the button will
return to the normal position to
disengage the starter.

handle located to the right of
the start switch and master
