1. ALWAYS obey all safety precautions for the handling of fuel.
2. ALWAYS make sure that you are familiar with this pump and follow all
instructions in this manual.
3. ALWAYS make sure that the pump is positioned correctly to prevent it from
moving during operation.
4. Keep the area adjacent to the pump clear.
5. ALWAYS connect the strainer to the suction hose to stop stones and other
solids from being pulled into the pump. These can cause damage to the
pump.
6. ALWAYS keep the pump dry and clear of the discharge hose.
7. Only use parts supplied by the manufacturer. Using non-standard parts can
be dangerous.
8. ALWAYS use at least 300mm of flexible hose to make plumbing connections
to the pump. Rigid piping can put stress on the pump, causing damage. If
you use rigid piping, it must be supported to eliminate strain on the
connections.
9. DO NOT refuel the engine while it is operating, let the engine cool before
refuelling.
10. DO NOT use to pump petrol (or other flammable liquids), or corrosive
chemicals. The function of this pump is to pump WATER ONLY.

13. DO NOT run the pump dry. Always fill the pump with water before starting.
14. DO NOT direct the discharge flow towards another person.
15. DO NOT over-tighten drain or filler plugs. Excessive force can damage the
threads or the pump body.
16. DO NOT direct the water discharge towards electrical wiring or equipment.
1. Always keep work area clean & tidy. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
2. Never over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

The oil in the engine must be changed after the first 20 hours use and then
every 6 months or 100 running hours.
1. Unscrew and remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
2. Put an oil collection tray below
the drain plug.
3. Unscrew the drain plug and let
the used engine oil drain from the
crankcase into the oil collection
tray.
