Product Manual

SERVICE
 Have your water pump serviced by a qualified repair person using only factory approved
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the water pump is maintained.
Incorrectly fitted parts will void your warranty.
 The equipment may only be used, maintained or repaired by those persons who
understand and have been instructed about the potential dangers. Independent changes
in the equipment cancel any manufacturer’s liability for any damages that result from
these changes.
APPROPRIATE USE
 Use the equipment only when it is in technically perfect condition and only for appropriate
jobs, with an awareness of safety and possible dangers, based on observation of the
operating instructions. In particular, problems which could influence the operational
safety must be dealt with immediately.
 All of the manufacture’s safety, work and maintenance regulations as well as the given
norms in the Technical Data must be observed.
STATIC ELECTRICITY AND FILLING THE PETROL TANK
Static electricity can initiate from un-grounded petrol tanks or containers from flowing petrol and
persons carrying a static electric charge. Static electricity can explosively ignite petrol vapours that
are present during the fuelling process, resulting in serious burns to nearby persons.
Many objects can accumulate and retain a static electric charge. Objects made of non-conductive
materials (eg. plastics) easily accumulate and retain static electrical charge, as can objects made
of conductive material (eg. metal, water) if they are not electrically grounded.
To avoid static electricity while fuelling, certain steps must be followed before and during the
fuelling process in order to minimise and safely dissipate static charge build-up:
 Touch a grounded metal object before starting. Always dissipate static charge from your
body before beginning the fuelling process by touching a grounded metal object at a safe
distance away from the fuel source.
 Use a portable container to fill the tank. NEVER fill the engine’s petrol tank directly from
the fuel pump – the engine’s tank is not grounded and the high velocity flow of petrol
from a fuel pump can cause static electric build-up. Use an approved portable container to
transfer to the engine’s tank.
TYPICAL SOURCES OF STATIC ELECTRIC HAZARDS DURING FUELLING
The following objects can accumulate a static electric charge and cause an ignition spark in typical
fuelling situations:
 Ungrounded tanks/containers.
