4. USING YOUR PUMP
DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE
WATER PUMP EXHAUST CONTAINS HIGH LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
(CO), A POISONOUS GAS YOU CANNOT SEE OR SMELL. IF YOU CAN
SMELL THE EXHAUST YOU ARE BREATHING CO. EVEN IF YOU CANNOT
SMELL THE EXHAUST, YOU COULD BE BREATHING CO.
NEVER RUN THE PUMP INSIDE A HOME, GARAGE, CRAWLSPACE,
OR OTHER PARTLY ENCLOSED AREA, DEADLY LEVELS OF CARBON
MONOXIDE CAN BUILD UP IN THESE AREAS. USING A FAN OR OPENING
WINDOWS AND DOORS WILL NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH FRESH AIR.
IF YOU START TO FEEL SICK, DIZZY, OR WEAK AFTER THE PUMP HAS
BEEN RUNNING, MOVE TO FRESH AIR RIGHT AWAY AND SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. YOU COULD HAVE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. NEVER
RUN THE WATER PUMP IN AN ENCLOSED OR EVEN PARTIALLY ENCLOSED
AREA WHERE PEOPLE MAY BE PRESENT.
Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation
At high altitudes, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich.
Fuel consumption will increase and performance will decrease. A very
rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
If using the generator at high altitudes, change the main-nozzle or adjust
the idling-screw of the carburetor. If always operating the generator at
altitudes above 1,000 meters, contact an authorized service center to
have the carburetor modified.
Conversely, if the carburetor has been modified for high altitude
operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use.
Operation at low altitude my cause the engine to overheat and result in
serious engine damage. In this case the carburetor needs to be returned
to its original specifications.
