3. PRE-OPERA TION FOR ST ARTING

(See Fig.

)

1. CONNECT SUCTION HOSE

(See Fig.

Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction collapse. Since the pump self-priming time is directly proportional to hose length, a short hose is recommended.

CAUTION

Always use a strainer with the suction hose. Gravel or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious damage to the impeller and the pump casting.

2. CONNECT DELIVERY HOSE

(See Fig.

When using a fabric hose, always use a hose band to prevent the hose from disconnecting under high pressure.

3. CHECK ENGINE OIL (See Fig.

Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the engine is located on stable, level surface and stopped.



■

Do not screw the oil gauge into the oil filler neck to check

oil level. If the oil level is low, refill to the upper level with the following recommended oil.



■

Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class SF or higher grade.

If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, close the choke lever fully.



■

If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high, open the choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open.

(4) Push the primer pump 7 to 10 times to feed the fuel to

the carburetor. (See Fig.3

(5) Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. This

is the “compression” point. Return the handle to its original position and pull swiftly. Do not pull out the rope all the way. After starting the engine, allow the starter handle to return to its original position while still holding the handle. (See Fig.3

(6) After starting the engine, gradually open choke by turning

the choke lever and finally keep it fully opened. Do not fully open the choke lever immediately when the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, because the engine may stop. (See Fig.3

2. RUNNING (See Fig.

(1) After the engine starts, set the speed control lever at the

low speed position (L) and warm it up without load for a few minutes. (See Fig.4

(2) Gradually move the speed control lever toward the high

speed position (H) and set it at the required engine speed. (See Fig.4



■

Whenever high speed operation is not required, slow the engine down (idle) by moving the speed control lever to save fuel and extend engine life.

NOTE

If the engine is operated at upside down, white smoke may be exhausted from the muffler.
