This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this
symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

2.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes

specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal
combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a
device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by
the United States Forest Service for this purpose.

In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult
the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

2.2 Operating Safety

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of
equipment! Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous! Read the operating instructions contained in both
this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment before
being allowed to operate the machine.

2.2.1 NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper
training. People operating this equipment must be familiar with the
risks and hazards associated with it.

2.2.2 NEVER touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or
immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may
cause burns.

2.2.3 NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by
Wacker. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may result.

2.2.4 NEVER pump volatile, flammable or low flash point fluids. These fluids
could ignite or explode.

2.2.5 NEVER pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic
substances. These fluids could create serious health and
environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for assistance.

2.2.6 NEVER open priming plug when pump is hot. Never loosen or remove
inlet or discharge hose fittings when pump is hot. Hot water inside
could be pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile. Allow
pump to cool to the touch before loosening plug and before loosening
or removing inlet or discharge hose fittings.

2.2.7 NEVER open pump housing cover while pump is operating, or start
pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump can cut
or sever objects caught in it.

2.2.8 NEVER block or restrict flow from inlet line or discharge line. Remove
kinks from discharge line before starting pump. Operation with a
blocked inlet line or discharge line can cause water inside pump to
overheat.

2.2.9 ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in Operator's
Manual before attempting to operate equipment.

2.2.10 ALWAYS be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precautions
and operation techniques before using machine.

2.2.11 ALWAYS be sure machine is on a firm, level surface and will not tip,
roll, slide, or fall while operating.

2.2.12 ALWAYS close fuel valve on engines equipped with one when
machine is not being operated.

2.2.13 ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used.
Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of
children.

2.3 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation
and fueling! Read and follow warning instructions in engine owner's
manual and safety guidelines below. Failure to follow warnings and
safety guidelines could result in severe injury or death.

2.3.1 DO NOT smoke while operating machine.

2.3.2 DO NOT smoke when refueling engine.

2.3.3 DO NOT refuel hot or running engine.

2.3.4 DO NOT refuel engine near open flame.

2.3.5 DO NOT spill fuel when refueling engine.

2.3.6 DO NOT run engine near open flames.

2.3.7 ALWAYS refill fuel tank in well-ventilated area.

2.3.8 ALWAYS replace fuel tank cap after refueling.

2.4 Service Safety

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order
for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

2.4.1 DO NOT attempt to clean or service machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.

2.4.2 DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.

2.4.3 DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines, if engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
fumes.

2.4.4 DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.

2.4.5 ALWAYS keep area around muffler free of debris such as leaves,
paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite them, starting a fire.

2.4.6 ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts
designed and recommended by Wacker.

2.4.7 ALWAYS disconnect spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
