danger of becoming caught in
moving parts. Avoid loose jackets,
shirts, sleeves and ties. Make sure
all nuts and bolts are secure. Keep
power shields and guards in
place. If adjustment MUST be
made while the unit is running,
use extreme caution around
hot manifolds, moving parts,
etc.
3. Do not work with this equipment
when mentally or physically
fatigued.
4. Be careful not to touch the exterior
of the engine, especially the muffler
and the area around it. It is hot
enough to be painful or cause
injury.
5. To prevent accidental starting,
always remove the spark plug, or
disconnect and ground the spark
plug wire before working on the
engine or the equipment driven by
the engine.
6. DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE
IN AN ENCLOSED AREA!!
Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide which is an odorless and
deadly gas that will cause death if
breathed too long. If equipment is
located in an enclosed area with an
exhaust line to the outside, regularly
check the exhaust system for leaks.
Be sure the area is well ventilated.
7. If the gas engine is equipped with a
spark arrester screen in the muffler,
it should be inspected for wear
periodically and replaced when
necessary.
Specific Safety Information for
Electric Motor Driven Pump
1. This unit is not waterproof and is
not intended to be used in
potentially wet locations. The motor
is designed to be used in a clean
dry location with access to an
adequate supply of cooling air.
Ambient temperature around the
motor should not exceed 104º F
(40º C). For outdoor installations,
motor must be protected by a cover
that does not block air flow to and
around the motor. This unit is not
weatherproof nor is it able to be
submersed in water.
2. When wiring an electrically driven
pump, follow all electrical and safety
codes as well as he most recent
United States National Electrical
Code (NEC) and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Risk of electrical
shock! Never
connect the green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, the motor must be
securely and adequately
grounded!. This can be
accomplished by either: (1)
inserting plug (portable) directly
into a properly installed and
grounded 3-prong grounding-type
receptacle (as shown in Figure
2); (2) permanently wiring the unit
with a grounded metal raceway
system; (3) using a separate
ground wire connected to the
bare metal of the motor frame; or
(4) other suitable means. The
green (or green and yellow)
conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. The motor must
be securely and adequately
grounded for your protection
against shock hazards!
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle with
a grounded 3- prong receptacle
installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances.
To ensure a proper ground,
the grounding means must
be tested by a qualified
electrician. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-
prong, grounding-type plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the equipment plug.
4. All wiring should be performed by
a qualified electrician.

Methods
An incorrect
connection may
cause an electric short, produce an
electrical shock or burn out the
pump motor, resulting in property
damage and/or personal injury.
5. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or
worn cords immediately.
6. Provide safety shields on all
moving and electrical parts to
prevent personal injury.
7. Keep fingers and foreign objects
away from ventilation and other
openings. Do not insert any
objects into the motor.
8. Use wire of adequate size to
minimize voltage drop at a the
motor.
9. Disconnect power before servicing
a motor or its load. If the power
disconnect is out of sight, lock it in
the open position and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of
power.
10. Do not touch an operating motor.
Modern motors are designed to
operate at high temperatures.
General Safety Information (All
Units)
1. Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
Do not use to
pump flammable
or explosive
fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, or
kerosene, etc. Do not use in
flammable and/or explosive
atmospheres. Pump should only be
used with liquids compatible with
pump component materials. Failure
to follow this warning can result in
personal injury and/or property
damage.
2. Make certain that the power
source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
3. Provide adequate protection and
guarding around moving parts.
4. Disconnect power before
servicing.
5. Release all pressure within the
system before servicing any
component.
6. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
7. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
8. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.
9. Periodically inspect pump and
