HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS AFTER ENGINE IS STARTED

Push the spark lever No.403 downward to the running position.

After you have the engine started and the fuel valves properly set, start on whatever work you have to do and run on load until water in the hopper steams, then add a little water from time to time until the water hopper is full. The engine will give the best results when the water is hot, as heat helps to vaporize the kerosene.

TURN ON WATER

only after the engine has become hot and is working hard and you notice a slight knocking in the cylinder at each explosion, which is characteristic of all kerosene engines. To overcome this, open the water valve (page 4) in cylinder head, one notch at a time until the pounding has nearly ceased. Be careful not to use too much water in trying to entirely stop the knocking, as a little knock indicates good power, and too much water causes loss of power. This does not apply to the 1¾ and 2½ H. P. kerosene engines.

HOW TO STOP KEROSENE ENGINE

Be sure to drain the Carburetor when stopping engine

First. Close the No. 0165 water valve about five minutes before stopping the engine. This prevents cylinder from rusting and makes the engine easier to start.

Second. Close the fuel valve by turning to the right as far as it will go.

Third. Shut off the oil.

Fourth. Open the drain valve No.0152. (See page 34.)

Fifth. Turn flywheel until exhaust valve closes. This prevents corroding of valve seats and injury to cylinder.

In cold weather be sure to drain all the water out of the water hopper by opening the drain cock underneath the cylinder. Also remove No.27 plug from bottom of cylinder head. Be sure to do this, as even a light frost may crack the cylinder or head by freezing the water.

If you are working your engine on a big job running all day, when you shut down at noon your engine will be very hot. If you do not take more than an hour for lunch-when returning to work you can start the engine on kerosene direct and will not have to use gasoline, as the engine will be hot enough to start on kerosene, in which case it will not be necessary to drain the carburetor reservoir when stopping the engine.

The kerosene carburetor is of the pump feed type. Kerosene being pumped up from the tank in the base by action of cam rod on pump lever.

The fuel is mixed with air drawn in from beneath carburetor and the feed to the cylinder head is regulated by a "butterfly" type valve.

Too little fuel will cause a popping sound at the mixer.

Too much fuel will cause a discharge of black smoke from muffler.

In case engine is not getting enough fuel after you have properly regulated fuel valve, drain carburetor by means of drain valve, remove No. 0158 pump body, taking care not to lose the two check balls, and clean pump body and connection carefully.
