PUMP SAFETY
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.
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. If you leave the pump for any reason, always turn
the engine off. Understand the use of all controls and connections.
Be sure that anyone who operates the pump receives proper
instruction. Do not let children operate the pump. Keep children and
pets away from the area of operation.
Pump only water that is not intended for human consumption.
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.
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.
The Honda WX10 pump is designed to pump only water that is not
intended for human consumption, and other uses can result in injury
to the operator or damage to the pump and other property.
