1. SAFETY INFORMATION
Water pumps are designed to pump only water that is not intended for human consumption, and
other uses can result in injury to the operator or damage to the pump and other property.
Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the pump.
The most common hazards are discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and
others.
Operator Responsibility
It is the operator’s responsibility to provide the necessary safeguards to protect people and
property. Know how to stop the pump quickly in case of emergency. If you leave the pump for any
reason, always turn the engine off. Understand the use of all controls and connections.
Be sure that anyone who operates the pump receives proper instruction. Do not let children operate
the pump. Keep children and pets away from the area of operation.
Pump Operation
Pump only water that is not intended for human consumption. Pumping flammable liquids, such as
gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a fire or explosion, causing serious injury. Pumping sea water,
beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion can damage the
pump.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Refuel outdoors, in a
well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped and the pump on a level surface. Do not fill the fuel
tank above the fuel strainer shoulder. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks
away. Always store gasoline in an approved container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been
wiped up before starting the engine.
Hot Exhaust
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the
engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before transporting the
pump or storing it indoors.
To prevent fire hazards, keep the pump at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from building walls and other
equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Never run the
engine in a closed garage or confined area.
In an emergency, the engine can be quickly stopped by turning the engine switch
Proper maintenance ensures safe, economical and trouble-free operation. Improper maintenance
may cause the Trash Pump to malfunction and can lead to serious injuries. Contact daewoo Power
