BEFORE STARTING THIS WATER PUMP, MAKE SURE THE INSPECTION AND SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS ON
THE 2 PREVIOUS PAGES HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED OR ELSE YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR WATER PUMP
AND VOIDING WARRANTY.
STARTING YOUR WATER PUMP
Warning! Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas!
NOTE: IF ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS TOO LOW, ENGINE WILL NOT START. CHECK
OIL LEVEL AND ADD OIL IF NECESSARY.
Turning the water pump engine on;
1) Open the fuel shut-off valve lever (A) Fig.10 by moving it completely to the right.
2) Turn the On/Off switch (A) Fig.11 to the "On" position.
3) Close the choke control lever (B) Fig.10 (located on top of the fuel shut-off lever)
by moving it completely to the left "Off" position.
NOTE: No choke is required on warm engines. Make sure choke lever is moved
all the way to the right "On" position for warm engine starts.
4) Move the throttle lever (C) Fig.10 a little from the left side towards to the right side.
5) Pull the recoil starter handle (D) Fig.10 until resistance is felt, then pull it out with
a rapid full arm stroke. Let the starter rope rewind slowly, repeat if necessary until
the engine starts.
6) Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever all the way to the right "On"
position. It is recommended to warm up the engine for 3 minutes upon each initial
start-up to allow engine to stabilize. After 3 minutes, move the throttle lever all the
way to the left position for maximum engine RPM and maximum pumping force.
7) If you notice that the water pump is not pumping water, this is probably because
there is air trapped in the water pump. Loosen the priming cap (A) Fig.9 to release
trapped air and retighten cap once the correct flow of water is obtained.
Stopping the water pump engine;
1) Move the throttle lever completely to the right "Off" position.
2) Turn the engine power "ON" switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Close the fuel shut-off valve lever by moving it completely to the left.
In case of emergency, turn the switch to the "Off" position to stop the engine.
