Operation

High Altitude Operation

This equipment produces maximum suction lift
at elevations below 1000 ft (305 m). For every
increase of 1000 ft (305 m) above sea level:
• the engine will lose about 3% of its power
• total head will be reduced by about 10 in
(25 cm).
Lower atmospheric pressure results in slower
engine speeds and reduced flow through the
pump.

Transporting / Tipping

Do not operate, store or transport the equip-
ment at an angle greater than 15 degrees.

Before Starting Engine

1. Verify engine oil level is correct.
2. Verify fresh fuel level is correct.
3. Verify all fittings, gaskets, and couplers
are properly secured.
4. Verify hoses are properly connected.
5. Verify equipment is secure on level
ground, with proper clearance and is in a
well ventilated area.
NOTE: Pumping substances with solids larger
than the maximum stated particle size can
damage the pump and void the warranty.
Maximum particle size is listed on the product
specifications sheet. Ensure that correct
strainer is attached to the suction hose to
prevent pumping larger solids.

Starting the Engine

CAUTION
Equipment damage. Before starting engine, verify
pump is primed with liquid and suction strainer is
submerged. Failure to do so will cause pump damage
and void the warranty.
1. Remove priming cap and fill the pump.
Replace priming cap.
2. See Figure 3-3. Move fuel valve lever (A)
to ON position.
Figure 3-3.Starting the Engine
3. Move choke lever (B) to CLOSED posi-
tion.
NOTE: For warm engine, leave choke lever in
OPEN position.

E
Recoil Hazard. Recoil could retract unexpectedly.
Kickback could result in death or serious injury.
6. Grasp recoil handle (E) and pull slowly
until you feel some resistance. Then pull
rapidly to start engine. Return recoil han-
dle slowly. DO NOT let recoil snap back
against recoil housing.

7. When engine starts, slowly move choke
lever to OPEN position as engine warms.
If engine falters, move choke lever to
CLOSE position, then to OPEN position.
If engine fails to start after six pulls, move
choke lever to "OPEN" position, and repeat
B
step 6.
8. When the engine is running smoothly,
adjust the throttle lever to set the desired
engine speed.
