Safety
Introduction
Safety is the most important element of any repair
procedure. Knowledge of the procedure to be performed
and safe work habits are essential to preventing death,
personal injury, or property damage. Use the following
statements as a common-sense guide to proper work
and tool-use habits.
Preparing for the Job
Preparation is essential to complete a procedure in a
safe and efficient manner.

use of all controls and safety devices.
• Only trained personnel shall troubleshoot or repair
problems occurring with the pump. Contact

Repair Person Qualifications
Work on the electric system, equipment on the
undercarriage, and the steering and brake systems may
be performed only by skilled individuals who have been
specially trained for such work.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
PPE while servicing or maintaining this pump:
•
Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder
movement.
• Safety glasses with side shields.
• Hearing protection.
• Safety-toed footwear.

pump:
• Tie back long hair.
• Remove all jewelry (including rings).
Personal Safety Measures
• Follow the specific safety instructions in this
manual.
•
Apply special care when working on the fuel
system due to increased risk of fire.
• Engine block and muffler system become very hot
during operation and require cool-down time after
pump is shut off. Avoid contact with hot parts.
•
Retainer pins can fly out or splinter when struck
with force. Use a brass hammer or a suitable
material between the hammer and pin.
• To reduce the risk of explosions, do not use
starting fluid (for example, ether), especially in
those cases in which a heater or glow plug (intake
air pre-heating) is used at the same time.
Precautions
• Read and understand the service procedures
before performing any service on the pump.
• Remain aware of the pump’s moving parts. Keep
hands, feet, and loose clothing away from the
pump’s moving parts.
• Reinstall the safety devices and guards after
repair and maintenance procedures are complete.
Cleaning
• Ensure the pump is clean and free of debris such
as leaves, paper, cartons, etc.
• Ensure all labels are legible.
• Do not clean the pump while it is running.
• Never use gasoline or other types of fuels or
flammable solvents to clean the pump. Fumes
from fuels and solvents can become explosive.
Preparing Pump for Maintenance
• Prior to performing assembly work on the pump,
make sure no movable parts will roll away or start
moving.
•
Position on firm and level ground.
• Secure pump against unintentional movement.
• Stop engine unless maintenance or repair is
required with engine running.
• Attach warning tag (Do Not Operate) to pump
unless maintenance or repair is required with
engine running.
• Prior to performing assembly work on the pump,
stabilize the area under repair and use proper
lifting and support devices.
General Maintenance Notes
• Make sure all tools and service center equipment
are capable of performing the tasks prescribed.
Do not use malfunctioning or broken tools. Use
certified measuring devices that are routinely
calibrated for accuracy (for example torque
wrench, pressure gauge, or multimeter).
