Operate semi-trash pump outdoors only in a well ventilated area DO NOT operate the semi-trash pump inside any building, enclosure or compartment. DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a conﬁned area through windows, doors, vents or other openings.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on contact. Combustible material can catch ﬁre on contact.

DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases. Allow equipment to cool before touching. Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to ensure adequate cooling. Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible materials.

66525 ENGLISH

SAFETY RULES

DANGER

Fuel and fuel vapors are highly ﬂammable and extremely explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.

When adding or removing fuel:

Turn the engine off and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank. Only ﬁll or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump gas directly into the engine at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the engine. DO NOT overﬁll the fuel tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition. DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.

When starting the engine:

DO NOT attempt to start a damaged engine. Make certain that the gas cap, air ﬁlter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place. Allow spilled fuel to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine. Make certain that the semi-trash pump is resting ﬁrmly on level ground.

When operating the semi-trash pump:

DO NOT move or tip the semi-trash pump during operation. DO NOT tip the semi-trash pump or allow fuel or oil to spill from the engine. Block the wheels to prevent unintended movement.

When transporting or servicing the semi-trash pump:

Make certain that the fuel shutoff valve is in the off position and the fuel tank is empty. Disconnect the spark plug wire.

When storing the semi-trash pump:

Store away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

WARNING

DO NOT pump salt, sludge, sewer, sea, or any other type of water containing solid material.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

CAUTION

Exceeding the semi-trash pump’s speciﬁcation for maximum head can damage the semi-trash pump and/or hose kits connected to it.

DO NOT modify the semi-trash pump in any way. DO NOT attempt to exceed the rated ﬂow. Attempting to increase the rated ﬂow may damage the unit and/or shorten its life.

CAUTION

Improper treatment or use of the semi-trash pump can damage it, shorten its life and void your warranty.

Use the semi-trash pump only for intended uses. Operate only on level surfaces. DO NOT expose semi-trash pump to excessive moisture, dust, or dirt. DO NOT allow any material to block the cooling slots. DO NOT use the semi-trash pump if:

– Equipment sparks, smokes or emits ﬂames – Equipment vibrates excessively

Water pumped through this unit shall NOT be used as drinking water.

CAUTION

Lay sturdy planking along each side of the hose or pipe, when the hose or pipe runs across any type of roadway. Make sure that the planking length will run the length of the roadway. This will ensure some protection of the hose or pipe from any passing vehicles.
