2.2 Operating Safety
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of
equipment. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both
this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment before
being allowed to operate the machine.
2.2.1 NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper
training. People operating this equipment must be familiar with the
risks and hazards associated with it.
2.2.2 NEVER touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or
immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may
cause burns.
2.2.3 NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by
Wacker. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may result.
2.2.4 NEVER leave machine running unattended.
2.2.5 NEVER operate this machine in applications for which it is not
intended.
2.2.6 NEVER open the priming plug when the pump is hot. Never loosen or
remove inlet or discharge hose fittings when the pump is hot. Hot water
inside could be pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile.
Allow the pump to cool to the touch before loosening the plug and
before loosening or removing the inlet or discharge hose fittings.
2.2.7 NEVER position the pump on a loose, uneven, or unstable surface
where it can tip, roll, slide or fall! The pump must be secure before
operating. Position the pump on a firm, flat surface; adjust the trailer
jacks to be sure the pump is level and supported firmly.
2.2.8 NEVER open the pump housing cover while the pump is operating or
start the pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump
can cut or sever objects caught in it.
2.2.9 NEVER block or restrict flow from the inlet line or the discharge line.
Remove kinks from the discharge line before starting the pump.
Operation with a blocked inlet line or discharge line can cause water
inside the pump to overheat.
2.2.10 NEVER reach into or insert anything into the pump while the engine is
on! The impeller inside the pump housing is turning at all times while
the engine is running.
2.2.11 DO NOT allow anyone to stand in front of the discharge port when
starting the engine or while priming the pump! The sudden out-rush of
water could push or knock a person down.
