Honda WT20X Owner's Manual page 7

To ensure safe operation —
• Never attempt to modify the water pump. It can cause an accident as well
as damage to the water pump and appliances. Tampering with the
engine voids the EU type-approval of this engine.
– Do not connect an extension to the muffler.
– Do not modify the intake system.
– Do not adjust the governor.
• Always make a pre-operation inspection (page 12) before you start the
engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
• For safety, never pump flammable or corrosive liquids such as gasoline
or acid. Also, to avoid pump corrosion, never pump sea water, chemical
solutions, or caustic liquids such as used oil, wine, or milk.
• Place the pump on a firm, level surface. If the pump is tilted or
overturned, fuel spillage may result.
• To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the
pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from building walls and other
equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the
pump.
• Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation due to a
possibility of burns from the hot engine components.
• Know how to stop the pump quickly, and understand the operation of all
controls. Never permit anyone to operate the pump without proper
instructions.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death.
