CARBON MONOXIDE. The running engine gives off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can
kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using
the pump, shut off the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
OTHER EXHAUST DANGERS. Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain vehicle
components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Avoid inhalation of exhaust. The muffler becomes very hot
during operation and remains hot after stopping the engine. DO NOT touch the muffler while it is
hot.
Let the engine cool before storing the pump indoors.
See the troubleshooting section of this manual before attempting any repairs. Wear personal
protective equipment such as ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety glasses and follow safety instructions.
CHECK and TEST the completed assembly as directed in this manual. Serious injury could result from
water leaks if the pump is improperly assembled. DO NOT MODIFY the pump’s design.
