WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
• Turn water pump OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in
tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT
• Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner are in place.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
• DO NOT pump flammable liquids, such as fuel or fuel oils.
• This water pump is not for use in mobile equipment or marine
applications.
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to
spill.
• Secure water pump. Loads from hoses may cause tipover.
• DO NOT stop engine by moving choke lever to “Choke” position.
WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT
• Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve
OFF.
• Disconnect spark plug wire.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers,
or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
WARNING
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache,
fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures,
nausea, fainting or death.
• Operate water pump ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.
• DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even
if windows and doors are open.
WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result
in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
Keep hands and body clear from discharge of
pump.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• Secure discharge hose to avoid whipping.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR WATER
PUMP
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place
the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
