GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into

this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
·Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents.
·Do not use your water pump where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Gasoline engines can create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
·Keep children and bystanders away while operating a water pump. Distractions can cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
·Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.
·Be alert of your surroundings. Using water pumps in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SAFETY
WARNING: Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine Owner’s Manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.
·DO NOT run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a deep trench unless adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust fans or hoses, is provided. Exhaust gas from the engine contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
·DO NOT smoke while operating the machine.
·DO NOT smoke when refueling the engine.
·DO NOT refuel a hot or running engine.
·DO NOT refuel the engine near an open flame.
·DO NOT spill fuel when refueling the engine.
·DO NOT run the engine near open flames.
·ALWAYS refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
·ALWAYS replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.
·ALWAYS check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks before starting the engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are present or the fuel lines are loose.
·ALWAYS avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and solid surfaces.
PERSONAL SAFETY
·Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a water pump while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating water pumps may result in serious personal injury.

·Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
·Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
·Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
·Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
TOOL USE AND CARE
WARNING: This pump is designed to pump water only. Never pump flammable liquids like gasoline or diesel.
·Do not force the water pump. Pumps do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are designed.
·Never use a water pump with a malfunctioning switch. A water pump that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
·Disconnect spark plug from engine before servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting accidentally.
·Store idle water pumps. When pumps are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect water pumps for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
·Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one water pump may create a risk of injury when used on another pump.
·Keep guards in place and in working order.
·Never leave tool running unattended.
·Theoretically, air pressure and the suction head of pump will decrease while the altitude increases. The value of decrease can be estimated by minus local atmosphere value from 10m (meter water column).
·The filter net must be immersed in water at least a foot (0.3m) to avoid sucking air. When used outdoors, immerse filter not less than 47 inches (1.2m) from river bottom and river bank to avoid suction of stone or weeds.
·Always be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precautions and operation techniques before using machine.
·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.
·Always close fuel valve on engines when machine is not being operated.
·Always operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place and in working order. DO NOT modify or defeat safety devices. DO NOT operate machine if any safety devices or guards are missing or inoperative.
·NOTE: All Federal and State laws and any regulation having jurisdiction covering the safety requirements for use of the machine take precedence over the statements in this manual. Users of this machine must adhere to such regulations.
