WARNING

As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation

and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of

personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or

ignored, personal injury to the operator, or damage to property may result.

1. These pumps are designed to pump WATER ONLY. Never use for pumping petrol

(or other flammable liquids), or chemicals.

2. Before operating this pump, you should thoroughly familiarise yourself with all

aspects of its’ operation, and follow all instructions in this manual.

3. Never operate an engine driven unit in an explosive atmosphere, near

combustible materials, or where there is insufficient ventilation.

4. Always ensure that the pump is properly secured and anchored where

necessary to prevent it from moving during operation, and that the immediate

area surrounding the pump is kept clear.

5. Do not over tighten drain or filler plugs. Excessive force may damage the

threads or the pump body.

6. Observe all safety precautions for the handling of fuel. Never refuel the engine

whilst it is running, and allow the engine to cool sufficiently before refuelling.

7. Whenever carrying out maintenance or making adjustments, the engine must

be stopped.

8. Use at least 1ft (3OOmm) of flexible hose to make plumbing connections to

the pump. Rigid piping will put stress on the pump, causing eventual damage.

9. Use only replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer. The use of non

standard parts could be hazardous.

10. NEVER run the pump dry. Always fill the pump body with water before starting.

When in regular use, it is not necessary to drain the pump body each time it is

used, unless there is danger of freezing

11. ALWAYS use the strainer connected to the suction hose, to prevent stones

and other solids from being drawn up, which could cause severe damage.

12. NEVER carry or transport the pump with the engine running.

13. ALWAYS check the pump for loose or missing screws before use.

14. Take great care when handling the pump after it has been in operation, the

cylinder head and silencer will become very hot.

15. NEVER allow children or untrained persons to use this equipment.
