- Page 6 OPERATION 1. Location DANGER! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. Operate pump only outdoors, at least 20 ft.(6 m) from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide accumulating.

- Page 8 2. Oil and Gasoline Add Engine Oil We recommend using FIRMAN SAE 10W-30 API SJ oil for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils (API SJ or higher) are acceptable. Do not use special additives. Ambient temperature determines the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the proper oil for the outdoor temperature range expected.
- Page 9 If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be high enough to deactivate the internal low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is completely full of oil to the upper limit (H). Do not operate engine until oil level issue is corrected. Contact FIRMAN customer service. Add Gasoline WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury.
- Page 10 High altitude may cause hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling. To operate at high altitudes FIRMAN can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting Customer Support.

- Page 21 Maintenance - Storage Long Term Storage It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system components such as the carburetor, fuel hoses or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
