3. Handling and operating method
Preparations for starting
1) Check that screws of equipment are not loose.
2) Connect hoses to pump as shown below. Connect discharge hose first, then bypass hose, and then
intake hose. Then connect discharge hose to applicator (spray gun, spray wand, etc.).
3) Remove the nozzle handle to disable spraying.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seri-ouslyinjured
when handiing fuel. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.

hose is submerged in water. The water
provides lubrication for the pump and will
prevent damage to the pump.
5) Tie the water intake hose and bypass hose
together with a band so that they will not pop
out of the chemical liquid tank during
operation.

2. Hold chemical tank with left hand.
3. Pull starting rope slowly until resistance is felt.
4. Pull starting rope straight from entrance of

If the engine does not start by repeated action,
try pulling the rope after fully opening the choke.
CAUTION
※If the engine still does not start, refer to
page 23.
・Frequent operation of choke when starting the
engine causes too much fuel to be sucked in,
making the engine difficult to start. In that
case, start after making the choke fully open.
・After starting the engine, accelerate bit by bit
quickly by opening and closing the throttle
lever several times.
・This operation is to bleed air in the carburetor.
When there is air present, there is the possi-
bility of poor acceleration and engine stalling.
・Supply fuel prior to use if possible. This will
make starting next time easy.
