SAFETY RULES

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

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

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of water pump including overhead.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.

WARNING

Starter and other rotating parts can entangle hands, hair, clothing, or accessories.

•NEVER place hands or body parts inside of running pump or hoses.

•DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

CAUTION

Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to water pump.

Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.

•DO NOT tamper with governed speed.

•DO NOT modify water pump in any way.

•DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service water pump.

CAUTION

Improper treatment of water pump can damage it and shorten its life.

•Be sure pump chamber is filled with water before starting the engine. NEVER run pump without priming.

•Use a non-collapsible hose on the suction side of pump.

•Use water pump only for intended uses.

•If you have questions about intended use, ask dealer or call 1-800-743-4115.

•Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion can damage the pump.

•Ensure all connections are air tight.

•DO NOT obstruct the suction or discharge hose in any way.

•NEVER operate pump without strainer basket connected to end of suction hose.

•DO NOT exceed suction head maximum of 7 m (23 ft.) and total head of 35 m (115 ft.). Use shortest suction head possible (see page 8).

•NEVER allow vehicles to drive over hoses. If a hose must be positioned across a roadway, use planking on each side of hose to allow vehicles to pass over without obstructing or collapsing hose.

•Anchor pump to avoid “walking” or equipment movement, especially if located near a ditch or edge of open ravine. The equipment could fall in.

•Keep equipment away from edge of river or lake where it could cause the bank to collapse.

•DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
