OPERATING YOUR PUMP
1. STARTING (See Fig. 3 3)
1. DAILY INSPECTION
3. STOPPING (See Fig. 5 5)
(1) Open the fuel cock. (See Fig. 3-q)
(2) Turn the STOP SWITCH to the position
“ I ” (ON). (See Fig. 3-w)
(3) Set the speed control lever 1/3 of the way
towards the high speed position.
(See Fig. 3-e)
(4) Close the choke lever. (See Fig. 3-r)
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.
(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-t)
(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-y)
2. RUNNING (See Fig. 4 4)
(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-q)
(2) Gradually move the speed control lever toward
the high speed position (H) and set it at the
required engine speed.
(See Fig. 4-w)
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.
(1) Set the speed control lever at the low speed
position and allow the engine to run at low
speed for 1 or 2 minutes before stopping.
(See Fig. 5-q)
(2) Turn the STOP SWITCH counterclockwise to
the position “ ” (OFF). (See Fig. 5-w)
(3) Close the fuel cock. (See Fig. 5-e)
(4) Pull the starter handle slowly and return the
handle to its original position when resistance
is felt. This operation is necessary to prevent
outside moist air from intruding into the
combustion chamber. (See Fig. 5-r)
STOPPING ENGINE

Close the fuel cock and wait for a while until the
engine stops. Avoid to let the fuel remain in the
