emergency.
PUMP SAFETY
DANGER
NEVER
pump volatile, explosive, flammable or low flash
point fluids. These fluids could ignite or explode.

The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can
cause death if inhaled.

The engine of this equipment requires an adequate free
flow of cooling air. NEVER
operate this equipment in any
enclosed or narrow area
where free flow of the air is
restricted. If the air flow is
restricted it will cause injury
to people and property and
serious damage to the
equipment or engine.
NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible materials. An
explosion or fire could result causing severe
bodily harm or even death.
WARNING
NEVER
pump corrosive chemicals or water containing
toxic substances. These fluids could create serious
health and environmental hazards. Contact local
authorities for assistance.
NEVER open the priming plug when pump
is hot. Hot water inside could be pressurized
much like the radiator of an automobile.
Allow pump to cool to the touch before
loosening plug. The possibility exists of
scalding, resulting in severe bodily harm.

SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION

NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a
running machine.

NEVER block or restrict flow from discharge hose.
Remove kinks from discharge line before starting pump.
Operation with a blocked discharge line can cause water
inside pump to overheat.
NOTICE

ALWAYS fill the pump casing with water before starting
the engine. Failure to maintain water inside the pump
housing will cause severe damage to the pump and
mechanical seal.

In winter drain water from pump housing to prevent
freezing.

NEVER start the pump with the clean-out cover removed.
The rotating impeller inside the pump can cut or sever
objects caught in it. Before starting the pump, check that
the clean-out cover is securely fastened.

add fuel to equipment if it is placed inside truck
bed with plastic liner. Possibility exists of explosion or
fire due to static electricity.
DO NOT
start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible
fluids. Fuel is extremely flammable and its vapors can
cause an explosion if ignited.
ALWAYS
refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from
sparks and open flames.
ALWAYS
use extreme caution when working with
flammable liquids.
DO NOT
fill the fuel tank while the engine is running
or hot.
DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system.

SAFETY INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONING
NOTICE
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely
retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable.
If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable
safety risk due to wear or damage or is no longer cost
effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to
be decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement),be
sure to follow rules below.

DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down
a drain or into any water source.

Contact your country's Department of
Public Works or recycling agency in your
area and arrange for proper disposal of
any electrical components, waste or oil
associated with this equipment.

When the life cycle of this equipment is over, remove
battery and bring to appropriate facility for lead
reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling
batteries that contain sulfuric acid.

When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it is
recommended that the trowel frame and all other metal
parts be sent to a recycling center.
Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from
discarded products and its transformation into raw
materials to use in manufacturing a new product.
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process
of recycling metal. Using a metal recycling center
promotes energy cost savings.
EMISSIONS INFORMATION
NOTICE

(CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)
contained in gasoline exhaust emissions.
This engine has been certified to meet US EPA Evaporative
emissions requirements in the installed configuration.
Attempting to modify or make adjustments to the engine
emmission system by unauthorized personnel without
proper training could damage the equipment or create an
unsafe condition.
Additionally, modifying the fuel system may adversely affect
evaporative emissions, resulting in fines or other penalties.
Emission Control Label
The emission control label is an integral part of the emission
system and is strictly controlled by regulation(s).
The label must remain with the engine for its entire life.
