SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

To safely realize the full potential of this pump, you need a complete
understanding of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its
controls.

For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area, such

flammable liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a fire or explosion,
causing serious injury. Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions,
or any other liquid that promotes corrosion can damage the pump.
