Any ungrounded fuel tank or container can accumulate a static electric charge as a result of
contact with other objects or friction during transportation. This static electricity can discharge as
a spark to the grounded petrol dispenser nozzle as the nozzle is first brought close to the
tank/container at the beginning of the fuelling process.

Flowing petrol. Most people are not aware that petrol accumulates static electric charge
while flowing through a hose or pipe. This charge then transfers to and accumulates in the
gas tank or container that is being filled. The total amount of charge accumulation
depends on the amount of gas pumped into the container, the speed with which it is
pumped, and whether or not the tank/ container is grounded. If sufficient static electric
charge accumulates in the fuel tank or container during the fuelling process, the
tank/container may discharge a spark to the grounded petrol dispenser nozzle.

A person dispensing the petrol can carry a static electric charge on their body, typically
resulting from contact with their car seat or electronics. The static electricity can discharge
a spark between that person’s hand and either the grounded dispenser nozzle or the fuel
tank opening.

Before using the water pump, you must select a suitable OUTDOOR location for
installation and operation that meets the following criteria:
DRY, LEVEL SURFACE
The water pump should be positioned on a dry, firm and level surface. Ensure that the water
pump sits level and will not slide or shift during operation.
OUTDOORS ONLY
Follow the directions below for choosing a location to operate your water pump in order to avoid
carbon monoxide poisoning:

The location you choose to operate the water pump must be OUTDOORS and away from
all building air intakes.

Never run the water pump inside any closed or semi-enclosed spaces (even if outdoors),
including homes, garages, basements, sheds or boxes. These spaces can trap poisonous
gases, even if you run a fan or open windows.

Ensure that working, battery-operated or battery back-up carbon monoxide alarms are
used in any dwelling/structure that is in close proximity to the running operator.
ADEQUATE COOLING VENTILATION
The exhaust from your water pump contains carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas that
can kill. You cannot smell it, see it or taste it. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death. Never run your water pump in a closed or even
partially enclosed areas or near open windows or doors. Never attempt to attach ductwork
to the muffler system to allow for installation inside an enclosre. This could cause hot air,
WARNING
heat build up and increased exhaust back pressure, resulting in possible exhaust leackage
or damage to the water pump.
