1.Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards. Read these rules and the instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

NEVER run engine in

an enclosed area. Exhaust gases contain deadly poisonous carbon monoxide, which has no odor or taste.

Do NOT use to pump

flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do NOT use in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres. Pump SHOULD only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. Failure to follow this warning CAN result in personal injury and/or property damage.

2.Observe all safety precautions for the handling of the fuel.

Do NOT refuel a hot engine. Fuel spilled on a

hot engine could result in a fire or explosion. Do NOT refuel a running engine.

3.Pump should be located and should rest on a level solid foundation. Do NOT suspend pump by means of the discharge pipe.

Be sure pump is on secure footing so it

doesn’t fall over.

4.Do NOT use torches or apply excessive heat, fire or flames to this pump as an explosion may result.

5.Before working on the unit, insulate the wire from the spark plug, by disconnecting the spark plug wire from the spark plug.

Complete pump and piping system

MUST be protected against below freezing temperature. Failure to do so COULD cause serious damage and WILL void the warranty.

6.Do NOT run pump dry. Water is required to lubricate the shaft seal.

7.Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids with this pump will shorten the life of the pump and may be hazardous to the operator and void the warranty.

8.Personal Safety:

a.Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.

b.Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted; replace all unused tools and equipment.

c.Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.

d.Make workshop child-proof with padlocks, master switches, and by removing starter keys.

9.This pump is designed for non-abrasive fluid transfer; do NOT use as a trash pump. ALWAYS use a suction strainer with this pump to filter abrasive material. Abrasive materials such as sand and gravel will shorten the life of the pump.

Installation

This pump is designed to be self-priming when installed and operated as specified below.
