ENGINE STARTUP
1. Set the
Engine Speed Control Lever
(Figure 12) to a
position half way between start and stop.
2. Insert ignition key into ignition switch (Figure 13), turn
ignition key clockwise to position I, and verify that all
three status indicator lights (Figure 14) are ON.
3. Continue turning ignition key through positions II and
III while pushing the red button at the same time.
4. Release ignition key and red button as soon as engine
fully starts, and verify that ignition key automatically
returns back to position I. Verify that all three lamp/
LED status indicator lights are OFF when the engine
is started.
STARTUP/OPERATION
8. If charge lamp or LED remains lit, increase engine
speed until lamp/LED goes off. When the charge
indicator lamp/LED goes off, it can then be assumed
that the charging system is working correctly.
9. If the charge lamp or LED remains on while the engine is
running, refer to Table 12 (Engine Troubleshooting) or the
Deutz Engine Repair Manual.
10. Move
speed control lever
to full speed position for
maximum engine speed. (See Figure 12)
OPERATION
1. The pump should begin pumping water within a minute
depending on the length of suction hose and height
the pump is above water.
2. If pump does not begin to pump water after a few
minutes, check for loose connections or air leaks in
suction hose. Make sure there is water in the pump
end and strainer is not clogged with debris, reference
Table 11 (Pump Troubleshooting).
