4.7 Fuel Mixture and Refueling
WARNING
￭ This water pump requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and
two-stroke engine oil. Fuel mixture and gasoline are
extremely flammable. If fuel mixture or gasoline make
contact with open fire or hot objects, they can cause a fire
or explosions. This can result in serious or fatal injuries
and damage to property.
► Protect fuel mixture and gasoline from heat and fire.
► Do not spill fuel mixture and gasoline.
► If fuel has been spilled: Wipe up the fuel with a cloth and
do not attempt to start the engine until all parts of the
water pump and the area around it are dry.
► Do not smoke.
► Never refuel near a fire.
► Shut off the engine and allow it to cool down before
refueling.
￭ Inhaling fuel fumes and gasoline fumes can have toxic
effects.
► Avoid inhaling fuel fumes or gasoline fumes.
► Refuel in a well-ventilated location.
￭ The water pump becomes hot during operation. The fuel
expands and excess pressure can build up in the tank.
Fuel can escape as a spray when the fuel tank cap is
opened. The escaping fuel can ignite. This can result in
serious injuries.
► Allow the water pump to cool down first and then open
the tank cap carefully.
￭ Clothing that has been in contact with fuel or gasoline is
more easily flammable. This can result in serious or fatal
injuries and damage to property.
► If your clothing comes into contact with fuel or gasoline:
Change your clothing.
