Operation

If you have any problems operating your water pump,
please contact the store at which you purchased the
unit or any authorized dealer.
Safe Operating Considerations
Clearances and Air Movement
WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft) of clearance on all sides of
water pump including overhead.
Place water pump outdoors in an area that will not
accumulate deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place water
pump where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter
inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building.
Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows,
doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings that
can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area.
Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into
consideration when positioning water pump.
WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous
gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT
see it, smell it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell
exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon
monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak
while using this product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY.
See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of
carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and
potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-
up according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening
doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon
monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and
can linger for hours, even after the product has shut
off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
