Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for 2 pulls of
the recoil starter. After 2 pulls, move choke lever to
the “Run” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the
recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug
fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming
air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
Pump performance can be adjusted using the
throttle. To decrease pump output, slide the throttle
to the right. To increase it, slide the throttle to the
left.
NOTE
DO NOT remove either top, or drain (bottom) plugs
while the semi-trash pump is on and running
Loss of pressure and suction will occur. Injury may
also occur.
