The water pump needs adequate, unobstructed flow of air to allow for proper cooling of the
engine and water pump head.
Never place the water pump immediately adjacent to a building or other structure – allow at least
2 metres clearance.
Do not run the water pump in close proximity to other heat-generating equipment, such as a
water pump. The combined heat that is generated may raise air temperature in the immediate
area and there will not be adequate cooling ventilation.
Do not allow debris to accumulate and block airflow.
Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover surrounding the water pump.
HOT EXHAUST CLEARANCE
Make sure your water pumps exhaust system is at least 2 meters from all combustible materials
and buildings/structures.
Equip the engine with a spark arrestor if the water pump will be used near any ignitable forestry,
brush, bush or grassy land. (see the “Specifications” section of this manual to determine if your
water pump is already equipped). Make sure you comply with applicable local, state and federal
codes. Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby. Keep it properly charged and be familiar with
its use.
OPERATE AWAY FROM DUST/DIRT
Do not use the water pump in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. Excessive dust and dirt can
cause premature failure of the machine.
HEARING PROTECTION
Water Pumps can product noise levels >70dB in close proximity, which can be dangerous to
human hearing with prolonged exposure to the running water pump for an extended period of
time.
An Important Message about Temperatures
Your water pump is designed and rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to
40 degrees Celsius. When your water pump is needed, it may be operated at temperatures
ranging from -15 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius for short periods. If the water pump is
exposed to temperatures outside this range during storage, it should be brought back within this
Heat build up from inadequate ventilation can result in fire, posting
a serious risk to nearby persons and structures. Situate so there is
adequate clearance around the water pump to allow for cooling
WARNING
airflow so that heat does not build up.
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler system to lower
noise levels. This could cause hot air deflection, heat build up and
increased exhaust back pressure, resulting in possible exhaust leakage
WARNING
to damage to the water pump.
