IMPORTANT
•
If the rope is pulled continuously with the choke closed, the
spark plugs may become flooded and the engine may fail
to start. If so, you should first remove the spark plugs and
dry the electrodes, then repeat the starting procedure.
5. Operate the engine at a half throttle until the water in
suction hose reaches the pump. As water discharge
is started, adjust the throttle according to your required
flow rate within the capacity.
■ Stopping engine
WARNING
• Stop the engine immediately in the event of an emergency.
1. Lower the throttle lever fully and cool the engine down
for 1-2 minutes at low speed.
2. Shift the engine stop switch to the STOP position.

IMPORTANT
• Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine
while pulling the throttle trigger.
•
If the water resource tank becomes empty while operat-
ing, reduce the engine to low speed immediately. Empty
running of the engine may cause the pump to break.
■ AFTER USE
1. Release a drain plug at lower part of the pump and
drain the water out of the pump.
2. Disconnect the hoses, clean them for storage.
IMPORTANT
• During cold climate, be sure to drain the pump after
every use. At an ambient temperature below freezing
point, the water in the pump casing may freeze and
damage the pump.
1. Press the primer at the bottom of the carburetor a few
