1. This unit is designed and manufactured solely for the purpose of carrying and pumping water for dust
suppression. Under no circumstances should it be used for any other purpose. It must never be used for
transporting fuel or chemicals.
2. Only authorised and trained personnel are to operate this equipment. Operators must have read and
fully understood this manual before operating the FloodRite™ unit.
3. Do not operate this equipment while under the influence of alcohol or any drugs that could impair your
capabilities in any way.
4. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) must be worn when refuelling the or operating the pump on the
FloodRite™ unit. Exposure to excessive noise over an extended period can cause impairment or loss of
hearing.
5. Avoid diesel or unleaded petrol contact with skin and eyes, and avoid breathing vapours or mists. Refer
to the relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

materials used in the clean-up disposed of safely and in accordance with relevant regulations applying
to the safe use, storage and disposal of fuel.
7. Ensure the capacity of the vehicle is suitable for the loaded mass of the FloodRite. Refer to the vehicle’s
operator manual for safe working loads, correct secure points and relevant safety instructions. Do not
exceed the carrying and braking capacity as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. As a guide, one
litre of water weights one kilogram (kg), therefore a full 6,000 litre FloodRite unit will weigh in excess of
7,200kg.

are tightened and secure before operation.

to lifting.
11. The FloodRite™ must never be left unattended while being filled with water.
12. Do not operate the pump when there is no water in the tank.
13. Do not use the FloodRite™ in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
14. Do not disconnect any hoses, nozzles or filters while the equipment is operating. Disconnecting any
components while under pressure may result in uncontrolled fluid discharge which may be hazardous.

be aware of fluid surge affecting the centre of gravity.
16. The FloodRite™ has safety labels affixed to various locations on the unit. These labels should be kept
clean and legible, and replaced if damaged.
