SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION

„NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running machine.

„NEVER block or restrict flow from discharge hose. Remove kinks from discharge line before starting pump. Operation with a blocked discharge line can cause water inside pump to overheat.

NOTICE

„ALWAYS fi ll the pump casing with water before starting the engine. Failure to maintain water inside the pump housing will cause severe damage to the pump and mechanical seal.

„In winter drain water from pump housing to prevent freezing.

„NEVER start the pump with the clean-out cover removed. The rotating impeller inside the pump can cut or sever objects caught in it. Before starting the pump, check that the clean-out cover is securely fastened.

„ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.

„ALWAYS ensure pump is on level ground before use.

„Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts immediately.

„ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

ENGINE SAFETY

WARNING

„NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or guards removed.

„ DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the oil tank and severely scald any persons in the general area of the pump.

CAUTION

„NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffl er or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool

before servicing equipment.

NOTICE

„NEVER run engine without an air fi lter or with a dirty air fi lter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service air fi lter frequently to prevent engine malfunction.

„DO NOT add fuel to equipment if it is placed inside truck bed with plastic liner. Possibility exists of explosion or fi re due to static electricity.

„DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fl uids. Fuel is extremely fl ammable and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited.

„ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open fl ames.

„ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.

„DO NOT fi ll the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
