SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

! WARNING

x

Stop the engine in the following cases:

¡

Before checking, cleaning or working on the PowerPack.

¡

If the PowerPack starts to vibrate abnormally. Check immediately and carry out any repair
work necessary before re-use.

¡

Whenever leaving the PowerPack unattended.

¡

Before refuelling. 

x

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the PowerPack is in safe working condition.

x

When using the backpack, ensure that the PowerPack frame is correctly located on the 
backpack frame and securely fixed by the retaining clip before transportation.

x

Allow the engine to cool before attempting to attach the PowerPack to the backpack.

x

Do not use the PowerPack with worn or damaged parts.  Parts must be replaced, not repaired.
Replace with genuine parts approved by the manufacturer.  Contact Waterra for all
maintenance.  Non-equivalent quality parts may damage the machine and be prejudicial to your 
safety.

x

Do not hold the upper tubular carrying frame when the machine is in operation as prolonged
and regular contact with the hand could result in injury caused by vibration. 

x

Do not smoke while working.

Fire and Burn Hazard 

Petrol/gasoline is extremely flammable and petrol/gasoline vapour can explode.  Use extreme care 
when handling petrol/gasoline.  Keep out of the reach of children. 

x

Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.

x

Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke or use a mobile phone while refuelling or handling fuel.

x

Add fuel before starting the engine and before mounting above a borehole.  Never remove the 
cap from the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. 

x

If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the PowerPack away from the area 
of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until the gasoline vapours have dissipated.

x

Tighten all fuel tanks and container caps securely.  When starting the engine after refuelling, be
sure to start the engine at least 3m away from the refuelling spot.

x

Never store the PowerPack with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or high temperature source. 

x

Allow the engine to cool before transportation or before storing in any enclosure.

x

If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors, with a cold engine.
