PUMP SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda WDP20X and WDP30X pumps are not designed to pump
drinking water. Pump only non-potable water, muddy water, and
water containing solids. Other uses can result in injury to the operator
or damage to the pump and other property.
Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this
manual and on the pump. The most common hazards are discussed
below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others.
Opecator Responsibility
It is the operator’s responsibility to provide the necessary safeguards
to protect people and property. Know how to stop the pump quickly in
case of emergency. Understand the use of all controls and
connections. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all shields
in place when the engine is running.
Be sure that anyone who operates the pump receives proper
instruction. Do not let children operate the pump. Keep children, pets,
and bystanders away from the area of operation.
Pump Operation
Do not pump drinking water. Pumps are designed to only pump
non-potable water, muddy water, and water containing solids.
Pumping flammable liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in
a fire or explosion, causing serious injury. Pumping sea water,
beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that
promotes corrosion can damage the pump.
Operate pump on a level surface. If engine is tilted, fuel may spill.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped
and the pump on a level surface. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Never
smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away.
Always store gasoline in an approved container. Make sure that any
spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the engine.
