GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Engine may create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
b) Never run engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gases contain deadly, poisonous carbon monoxide,
which has no odor or taste. Exposure may cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
c) Keep by-standers, children and visitors away while installing pump. Distractions can result in mistakes.
d) Keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during
operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine. Procedure should be followed to prevent
fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation.
2) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this pump. Do not
attempt to use pump while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
c) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the pump in unexpected situations.
d) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard hat must be
used for appropriate conditions.
3) PUMP USE AND CARE
a) Store idle pump out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Pumps are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
b) Maintain pump. Keep hoses in proper operating condition. Properly maintained pumps are less likely to
malfunction and cause injury.
c) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the pumps operation. If damaged, have the pump serviced before using. Accidents can be caused
by poorly maintained pumps.
d) Always shut off the engine, allow the engine to cool and remove the spark plug before performing any
maintenance. Such preventative measures reduce the risk of starting the pump accidentally.
e) Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of the pump.
4) SERVICE
a) Pump service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
b) When servicing a pump, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of injury and may void your warranty.

1) Never refuel while engine is running or hot. Fuel spilled on a hot engine could result in a fire or explosion.
2) Use caution when handling petrol. Refuel in well-ventilated area. Do not overfill fuel tank and do
not spill fuel. Make sure tank cap is closed properly. Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
3) Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas;
exposure may cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
4) Do not use to pump flammable or explosive liquids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, solvents or
thinners. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. Failure
to follow to this warning can result in serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.
5) Pump must be located on a solid level surface. Pump could tip or fall causing serious injury.
6) Do not hold or suspend pump by means of a discharge pipe. Pipe could break or come loose.
7) Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the
engine cool before transporting or storing it indoors. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Exhaust may contain chemicals that may cause cancer or
reproductive harm.
This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
