2 Owner’s Manual for Water Pump
Safety Symbols and Meanings
Exhaust Hazards
• The water pump MUST be operated
outdoors.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after
the water pump has been running, move to
fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as
you could have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined
area through windows, doors, ventilation
intakes, or other openings. Warn any
occupants inside about the symptoms of
carbon monoxide so they know to move to
fresh air if they begin to feel ill.
• The use of a carbon monoxide detector
inside any occupied premises between the
water pump and the occupant is
recommended.
• If operating the water pump in a trench or
pit, do not enter the area while the engine is
running. Carbon monoxide will accumulate
in enclosed areas.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is
a chance that harmful gas or vapors might
be inhaled.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and
ventilating air is critical to correct water
pump operation. Do not alter the installation
or permit even partial blockage of
ventilation provisions, as this can seriously
affect safe operation of the water pump.
