OPERATION

Ensuring the site, and pump is prepared as detailed on pages 5 & 6, proceed as

follows:

1. STARTING.

Ensuring there is sufficient fuel in the tank,

press the priming pump, see illustration

opposite, at least 10 times.

NOTE: This is NOT necessary if the unit has

not previously been drained of fuel.

1.1 Set the choke lever to ‘Start’, see Fig.5.

If the engine is warm, set to ‘Normal

Running position.....

If the engine and ambience is cold,

set to ‘Cold Start’ position.....

1.2 Set the Throttle to approximately half open...midway between cold start and normal.

2. CONTROLS.

On high suction lifts, a higher engine speed is necessary than on low lifts. On shallow

lifts therefore, or when there is little water to pump, preserve fuel and engine wear,

by reducing engine speed. NEVER run at an unnecessarily high speed.

3. STOPPING.

GRADUALLY reduce engine speed to minimum, and stop the engine by switching

OFF the ignition switch.

4. BLOCKAGES

In the event of blockages, where debris has entered the suction chamber, remove the

suction chamber bolts, disconnect the suction hose and flush out the pump body.

1.3 Switch ON at the ON/OFF switch.

1.4 Hold down the pump and pull the starter

recoil rope firmly until the engine starts.

IMPORTANT: Do not snatch at the starter rope, and

allow it to retract slowly after each pull.

1.5 Once the engine starts, set the choke

progressively to the ‘Normal Running position’,

and the engine throttle to a low speed setting,

and allow to run for about 1 minute.

NEVER set the throttle to a high speed position

until the engine has warmed up.
