Starting the Engine
1. Ensure that the engine has a sufficient amount of fuel in the gas tank. (Figure 3,
Item 3)
2. Turn the Engine switch to the on position. (Figure 3, Item 6)
3. If the Honda engine is cold, apply the choke. (Figure 3, Item 1)
4. Prime the pump engine with fuel by pumping the carburetor fuel primer. (Figure 3,
Item 2)
5. Pull the hand starter cord until the engine starts. (Figure 3, Item 4)
6. Apply throttle (Figure 3, Item 5) and decrease the choke until it is no longer
needed. The output of the pump is regulated by how much throttle is applied, as
well as the shut-off at the nozzle.
Pumping Using the Tank Water Supply
1. The pump intake selection valve should be open to pull water from the tank.
(Figure 2, Item 2)
2. Start the engine (see previous page)
3. Water can now be discharged through the discharge hose.
