Safe Operating Considerations

WARNING

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) clearance on all sides of water transfer pump including overhead.

Clearances and Air Movement

Place water transfer pump outdoors in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place water transfer pump where exhaust gas (A) could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area. Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning water transfer pump.

WARNING

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or death.

•Operate water transfer pump ONLY outdoors.

•Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.

•DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if windows and doors are open.

A

What is “Head”?

Head refers to the height of a column of water that can be delivered by the discharge of the pump.

Suction Head is the vertical distance between the center of the pump and the surface of the liquid on the suction side of the pump. May also be referred to as “suction lift”. The atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi at sea level limits suction head lift to less than approximately 26 feet for any pump.

Discharge Head is the vertical distance between the pump’s discharge port and the point of discharge, which is the liquid surface if the hose is submerged or pumping into the bottom of a tank.

Total Head is the sum of the suction head value plus the discharge head value.

As water pumping height increases, pump output decreases. The length, type, and size of the suction and discharge hoses can also significantly affect pump output.

It is important for the suction operation to be the shorter part of the total pumping action. This will decrease the priming time and improve pump performance by increasing the discharge head.

Suction head is a maximum of 25 feet and discharge head should be a maximum of 81 feet. Total head can not be more than 106 feet as shown on next page.

Move Water Pump to Safe Operating Location

For best pump performance, locate the pump on a flat, level surface as close as possible to the water to be pumped. Secure water pump to avoid tipover. Use hoses that are no longer than necessary.

IMPORTANT: Direct open end of discharge hose away from home, electrical devices or anything not desired to get wet.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

•This water pump is not for use in mobile equipment or marine applications.

•DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.

•Secure water pump. Loads from hoses may cause tip over.
