 Mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline according to fuel stabilizer
manufacturer's directions.
 Before removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it.
Remove the fuel cap slowly.
 Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly pour
gasoline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 in.
below the top of the tank neck (this allows for fuel
expansion).
 Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap "clicks".
 Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never remove
fuel cap or add fuel to a machine with a running or hot
engine. Make sure the unit is sitting on a flat, level surface
and only add fuel outdoors. If the engine is hot, let the
unit cool for at least five minutes before adding fuel.
After fueling, immediately replace fuel cap and tighten
securely. Move at least 30 ft. from refueling site before
starting engine. Do not smoke and stay away from open
flames and sparks! Failure to follow these instructions
could result in a fire and cause serious personal injury.
PRIMING THE PUMP
See Figure 8.
NOTICE:
Never start the engine if the pump is dry or if there isn't
enough water in the unit to prime the pump.
 Place water pump on a flat, level surface.
 Remove the priming port cap by turning counter-
clockwise.
 Add water until pump chamber is full.
 Replace priming port cap and tighten securely.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE WATER
PUMP
See Figures 9 - 10.
NOTICE:
Do not run the water pump without filtered suction hose
(not included) attached and connected to water source,
as this may damage the pump. Make sure the hose is not
being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other objects that
may lessen or prevent water flow to the pump.
Before starting the engine:
 Connect all hoses.
 Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
 Ensure pump is primed.
OPERATION
To start the engine:
 Move the throttle lever all the way to the right (low speed).
 Move the choke left to the START position.
 Move the fuel lever right to the OPEN position.
 Put the engine switch in the ON position.
 Grasp the starter grip and rope and pull slowly until
resistance is felt. Give the starter grip and rope a short,
brisk pull to start the engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip and rope to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its original place.
 Let engine run for 15-30 seconds, then move choke
right to the RUN position and adjust the throttle lever for
desired speed. See Adjusting Pump Speed.
To stop the engine:
 Move the throttle lever all the way to the right (low speed).
 Put the engine switch in the OFF position.
 Move the fuel lever left to the CLOSED position.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of
clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time
before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust
gases could be hot enough to cause serious burns and/
or ignite combustible objects.
ADJUSTING PUMP SPEED
See Figure 9.
The throttle lever is used to adjust the cycle speed of the
pump. Constantly operating the pump at extreme speeds (high
or low) can cause damage to the tool's internal components.
 Turn the water pump on.
 Let the engine run for several seconds.
 To increase the speed of the pump, move the throttle
lever to the left.
 To decrease the speed of the pump, move the throttle
lever to the right.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Your engine is configured for operation below 3000 feet
altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for
operation above 3000 feet altitude. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade per-
formance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured
for high altitude operation cannot be operated in standard
altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure
that your engine is properly configured for your location.
