• Do not attempt to carry pump when engine is running.
• Do not operate pump on an incline. It should be placed on a firm, dry, level surface for proper engine
operation and lubrication. Keep the area free of any flammable material such as leaves, brush or fuels.
• Do not aim engine exhaust at materials that could catch fire.
• Face cooling air intake (recoil start area) and muffler side of engine 3.3 ft. (1m) away from buildings,
obstructions and other combustible objects.
• Do not enclose unit, as it relies on free air circulation to cool the engine. Enclosing the unit can create a fire
hazard resulting from entrapped gas fumes and overheating which can result in damage to the engine and
other components.
• Avoid accidental fires and engine overheating.
• Do not operate equipment when mentally or physically stressed.
• Do not, under any circumstances, use the pump for purposes that exceed its rated capacity.
• Do not leave pump unattended. If not securely fastened, pump may shift during operation.
