2.1 Operating Safety
Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes
specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal
combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a
device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by
the United States Forest Service for this purpose.
In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult
the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of
equipment. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both
this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment before
being allowed to operate the machine.
2.1.1 NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper
training. People operating this equipment must be familiar with the
risks and hazards associated with it.
2.1.2 NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by
Wacker. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may result.
2.1.3 NEVER touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or
immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may
cause burns.
2.1.4 NEVER pump volatile, flammable or low flash point fluids. These fluids
could ignite or explode.
2.1.5 NEVER pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic
substances. These fluids could create serious health and
environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for assistance.
2.1.6 NEVER open the priming plug when the pump is hot. Never loosen or
remove inlet or discharge hose fittings when the pump is hot. Hot water
inside could be pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile.
Allow the pump to cool to the touch before loosening the plug and
before loosening or removing the inlet or discharge hose fittings.
2.1.7 NEVER open pump housing cover while pump is operating, or start
pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump can cut
or sever objects caught in it.
2.1.8 NEVER block or restrict flow from inlet line or discharge line. Remove
kinks from discharge line before starting pump. Operation with a
blocked inlet line or discharge line can cause water inside pump to
overheat.
2.1.9 ALWAYS be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precautions
and operation techniques before using machine.
WARNING

Safety Information PT 2/3 /...
wc_si000003gb.fm 6
2.1.10 ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in the Operator’s
Manual before attempting to operate the equipment.
2.1.11 ALWAYS be sure the machine is on a firm, level surface and will not
tip, roll, slide, or fall while operating.
2.1.12 ALWAYS close fuel valve on engines equipped with one when
machine is not being operated.
2.1.13 ALWAYS store the equipment properly when it is not being used.
Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of
children.
2.2 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation
and fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine
owner’s manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the
warnings and safety guidelines could result in severe injury or death.
2.2.1 DO NOT smoke while operating the machine.
2.2.2 DO NOT smoke when refueling the engine.
2.2.3 DO NOT refuel a hot or running engine.
2.2.4 DO NOT refuel the engine near an open flame.
2.2.5 DO NOT run the engine near open flames.
2.2.6 DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
the fumes.
2.2.7 NEVER operate pump in enclosed or confined area.
2.2.8 ALWAYS refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
2.2.9 ALWAYS replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

2.3 Service Safety
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order
for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
2.3.1 DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
2.3.2 DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.
2.3.3 ALWAYS keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as
leaves, paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and
start a fire.
2.3.4 ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts
designed and recommended by Wacker Corporation.
2.3.5 ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with
gasoline engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
2.3.6 DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.
2.3.7 ALWAYS handle impeller carefully. The impeller can develop sharp
edges which can cut.

3.3 Sound Measurements
3.3.1
The required sound specification, per paragraph 1.7.4.f of 89/392/EEC
Machinery Directive, is:
Guaranteed sound power level (LWA) = PT 3A 110 dB(A), PT 3V 103
dB(A), PT 3H 108 dB(A), PT 3 104 dB(A).
The sound pressure level at operator’s location (LpA) = PT 3A 101
dB(A), PT 3V 91 dB(A), PT 3H 99 dB(A), PT 3 92 dB(A).
These sound values were determined according to ISO 3744 for the
sound power level (LWA) and ISO 6081 for the sound pressure level
(LpA) at the operator’s location.

4. Operation
4.1 Application
This pump is intended for removing clean water and water containing
some debris and solids. Refer to “Technical Data” for maximum solid
size.
4.1.1 NEVER pump volatile, flammable or low flash point fluids. These fluids
could ignite or explode.
4.1.2 NEVER pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic
substances. These fluids could create serious health and
environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for assistance.
4.2 Recommended Fuel (Wacker / Honda / Vanguard)
The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,
clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel
system. Consult engine Owner’s Manual for complete fuel
specifications.
4.3 Recommended Fuel (Hatz)
The engine requires No. 2 diesel fuel. Use only fresh, clean fuel. Fuel
containing water or dirt will damage the fuel system. Consult the
engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications.

4.4 Before Starting
See Graphic: wc_gr000013
4.4.1 Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.
4.4.2 Place pump as near to water as possible, on a firm, flat, level surface.
4.4.3 To prime pump, remove prime plug (a) and fill pump case with water.
If the pump case is not filled with water before starting, it will not begin
pumping.
DO NOT open priming plug, discharge plug, or loosen hose fittings if
pump is hot! Water or vapor inside pump may be under pressure.
4.4.4 Check for leaks between pump and engine. If water is leaking, the seal
inside pump is worn or damaged. Continued operation may cause
water damage to engine.
4.4.5 Check that hoses are securely attached to pump. Suction hose (b)
must not have any air leaks. Tighten hose clamps (c) and couplings
(d). Check that discharge hose (e) is not restricted. Lay hose out as
straight as possible. Remove any twists or sharp bends from hose
which may block the flow of water.
4.4.6 Make sure suction strainer (f) is clean and securely attached to end of
hose. The strainer is designed to protect the pump by preventing large
objects from being pulled into the pump.
NOTICE: Strainer should be positioned so it will remain completely
under water. Running the pump with the strainer above water for long
periods can damage the pump.
4.4.7 Check fuel level, engine oil level, and condition of air cleaner.
