Safety Information PG1
1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a centrifugal de-watering pump. The Wacker Neuson Pump
consists of a gasoline engine, handle, frame, and an impeller with ports for water
suction and discharge. The engine rotates the impeller during operation. Water is
drawn into the pump through the suction port and expelled through the discharge
port. The operator connects hoses to the pump and routes them so that water is
drained from the work area and discharged into an appropriate location.
This machine is intended to be used for general de-watering applications. This machine
is intended for the pumping of clear water up to the flow, head, and suction lift limits also
stated within the product specifications.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
■
Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids
■
Pumping water containing solids
■
Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation
■
Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to incorrect diameter
hoses, incorrect length hoses, other inlet or outlet restrictions, or excessive
suction lift or head
■
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
■
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
■
Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
■
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
■
Fuel and its fumes
■
Projectile hazard from discharge
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.
