o
Not following the instruction handbook directives and operating procedure
can lead to serious injuries, or even death. The operator and all other
members or personnel handling the hoses connected to the pump must be
trained and familiar with this type of product, know its limitations and have
read and understood the Instruction Handbook and engine manual.
o
Risk of injuries resulting from pressure hazard.
Before you disconnect a hose or take off a cap on the inlet or outlet,
make sure the engine is stopped and open the drain valve to relieve
pressure.
NEVER touch a pressurized flow of water, it is abrasive and could lead
to serious injury.
o
Risk of injuries resulting from very hot water, scald and burn hazards.
NEVER let the pump run for more than one minute with discharge
valve(s) completely closed. When the pump is running make sure to
always leave the discharge valve slightly opened, to avoid overheating
of the pump. If the pump runs completely closed with water flowing for
a few minutes, the water inside may heat-up and scald or burn the
operator when he opens the valve. The mechanical seal and other
components could also be damaged.
o
Risk of injuries resulting from high temperature components, burn hazard.
NEVER touch the exhaust system, the muffler or the engine while it is
running. All these components get very hot and touching them may
cause burns.
o
Risk of injuries resulting from kickback from the recoil starter.
To prevent injuries from kickback from the recoil starter, pull slowly on
the rope until you feel a resistance, then pull quickly.
o
Risk of injuries resulting from tipping hazard.
NEVER operate the engine if the pump is not stable. Always chose a flat,
stable surface to operate the pump. The maximal slope for operation is
15°.
