ngine Start- p
NOTE: The engine will not start without water flowing through the machine!
5. Turn on the gas switch.
6. If the engine is cold, “choke” the engine by pushing the switch to
the left.
7. Start the engine by pulling on starter rope.
8. OR Start the engine turning ignition key clockwise.
Set the choke to a smooth working position by moving the lever to the right.
Increase engine speed until the desired working pressure is obtained.
STOPPING AT THE END OF RUN:
When the gun cart arrives at the
machine at the end of the run, it activates the shut-off valve. When the
valve is closed, the flow switch mounted on the cross pipe senses the loss
of water flow and automatically kills the engine.
Note:
Water should always be running through the pump prior to starting
boost pump, but if for some reason the pump must be started without water
flow (for short duration), the by-pass button can be pressed to override the
flow switch. The switch is located on the engine mount frame. Again, the
pump must not be run for more that 5 seconds without water to lubricate the
mechanical seal.
WARNING!!
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of 120 PSI, at the gauge on the cross
pipe (if boost pump model).
