1.4 OTHER SAFETY TIPS

WARNING!
To avoid breathing in poisonous carbon monoxide from the exhaust
gases, adequate ventilation should be provided if the engine is running
in a partially enclosed space.
Water and trash pumps vibrate in normal use. During and after use,
inspect the entire unit as well as water hoses and power supply cords
connected to it for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged
items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords
that show signs of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or
damaged blades.
When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in tank: store away from
furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have a pilot
light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
Note
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the unit has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
TOXIC FUMES HAZARD. Running engines give off
carbon monoxide, an odourless poisonous gas
that can cause nausea, fainting, or death. Do
not start engine indoors or in an enclosed area,
even if the windows and doors are open.
DANGER TOXIQUE. Faire fonctionner un moteur dégage de
l'oxyde de carbone, un gaz inodore toxique qui peut
provoquer la nausée, évanouissement ou la mort. Ne
démarrer pas le moteur à l'intérieur ou dans une espace clos,
meme si les fenêtres et les portes sont ouvertes.
