IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER:

Carbon Monoxide. Using a water pump indoors CAN

KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Water pump exhaust contains high levels of carbon

monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or

smell. If you can smell the water pump exhaust, you are

breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust,

you could be breathing CO.

Never use a water pump inside homes, garages,

crawl-spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly

levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.

Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT

supply enough fresh air.

ONLY use a water pump outdoors and at least 20 feet

away from open windows, doors, and vents with the

engine exhaust directed away. These openings can

pull in water pump exhaust.

Even when you use a water pump correctly, CO may

leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or

battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to

feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the water pump has been

running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.

You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or carbon monoxide poisoning which will cause death

or serious personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

 Know your water pump. Read the operator’s manual

carefully. Learn the machine’s applications and limitations

as well as the specific potential hazards related to this

water pump.

Keep guards in place and in working order. Never

operate the water pump with any guard, hose, or cover

removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly

and hoses are securely attached before each use.

 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of

checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are

removed from water pump before starting the engine.

 To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and

bystanders away. All bystanders should wear safety

glasses and be kept at least 20 feet away.

Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,

particularly small children, and pets.

Do not start or operate the engine in a confined

space, building, near open windows, or in other

unventilated space where dangerous carbon monoxide

fumes can collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless,

odorless, and extremely dangerous gas, can cause

unconsciousness or death.

 Use the right equipment. Don’t force water pump or

hoses to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for

a purpose not intended.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,

scarfs, neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and

draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid

footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also

wear protective hair covering to contain long hair above

shoulder level.

Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when

wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear

protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve

your footing on slippery surfaces.

Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.

 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked

to comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing

protection. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

serious personal injury.

 Don’t overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep

proper footing and balance at all times.

 Use only recommended accessories. The use of

improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

 Follow the maintenance instructions specified in this

manual.

 Check damaged parts. Before further use of the

tool, a

guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate properly and

perform its intended function. Check for alignment of

moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its

operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must

be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service

center to avoid risk of personal injury.

 Never leave water pump running unattended. Turn

power off. Don’t leave water pump until engine comes

to a complete stop.

Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves, or

grease to reduce the chance of a fire hazard.

 Keep the muffler’s exhaust pipe free of foreign

objects.

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for

safeloading, unloading, transport, and storage of

machine.

Page 4 — English

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

 Use caution when positioning the water pump for

use. Warm air from the engine could cause discolored

spots on grass, fences, decks, etc.

 Never direct a water stream toward people or pets,

or any electrical device.

Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is

running.

 Never start the machine if ice has formed in any part

of the equipment.

 Always operate the machine on a level surface. If the

engine is on an incline, it could seize due to improper

lubrication (even at the maximum oil level).

Never attempt to make any adjustments while the

engine (motor) is running (except where specifically

recommended by the manufacturer).

 Protective covers must always cover rotating parts

when the engine is running.

Keep cooling air intake (recoil starter area) and muffler

side of the engine at least 3 feet away from buildings,

obstructions, and other combustible objects.

Keep the engine away from flammables and other

hazardous materials.

Keep away from hot parts. The muffler and other engine

parts become very hot even after the engine has been

shut off; use caution.

Do not touch the spark plug and ignition cable when

starting and operating the engine.

 Check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and fuel

leakage before each use.

 Check bolts and nuts for looseness before each use.

A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine problems.

Always refuel outdoors. Never refuel indoors or in a

poorly ventilated area.

Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank

inside a building where ignition sources are present,

such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and

the like.

If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel

with care. It is highly flammable.

Do not smoke while handling fuel.

Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the

cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running

or when the engine is hot.

Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep

fuel from escaping around the cap.

Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30 feet away from

refueling site before starting engine.

Ensure all hoses are properly connected before using

the product. Never operate the water pump without all

hoses connected.

OPERATION

DANGER:

Carbon Monoxide. Using a water pump indoors CAN

KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Water pump exhaust contains high levels of carbon

monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or

smell. If you can smell the water pump exhaust, you are

breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust,

you could be breathing CO.

Never use a water pump inside homes, garages,

crawl-spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly

levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.

Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT

supply enough fresh air.

ONLY use a water pump outdoors and at least 20 feet

away from open windows, doors, and vents with the

engine exhaust directed away. These openings can

pull in water pump exhaust.

Even when you use a water pump correctly, CO may

leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or

battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to

feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the water pump has been

running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.

You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.

Remember that a careless fraction of a second is

sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to

comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing protection.

Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into

your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not

recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use

of attachments or accessories not recommended can

result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Secure the discharge hose during water pump

operation. Never direct a water stream toward people

or pets, or any electrical device. Failure to heed this

warning could result in serious injury. Discharging

water into electrical devices could result in death by

electrocution or electric shock. Directing water towards

people or pets could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:
