Section III. OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
2-4. INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS AND DAILY CHECKS
Perform preventive maintenance checks and services listed in table 2-1.
a. Preliminary Procedures
(1) Release air pressure by turning globe valve (1) to open
position, and then depressing inflator gage handle (2).
Close globe valve (1).
(2) Drain air receiver of water by opening drain cock (3).
When water has drained out, close drain cock.
b. Starting Gasoline Engine
(1) Open fuel valve (under fuel tank).
A warm engine requires less choking than
a cold engine.
(2) Manually close choke (4).
If fuel drips out of carburetor while trying
to start engine, engine is overcooked. Open
choke and pull starter several times.
(3) Be sure ON-OFF switch (5) is "ON". Grasp starter grip
(6) and pull out rapidly to overcome compression and pre-
vent kickback. Repeat if necessary with choke opened
slightly. When engine starts, open choke gradually.
