WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes.
You CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste it. Even
if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could
still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start
to feel sick, dizzy or weak while using this product,
get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You
may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of
carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and
potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-
up according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawls paces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening
doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide
can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger
for hours, even after the product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point
the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
WARNING Use of water pump could create
puddles and slippery surfaces causing you
to fall resulting in death or serious injury.
• Operate water pump from a stable surface.
• The area should have adequate slopes and
drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due to
slippery surfaces.
WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine faster
than you can let go which could cause
broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
resulting in serious injury.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance
is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• Keep hands and body clear from discharge of pump.
• Secure discharge hose to avoid whipping.
WARNING Starter and other rotating parts could
entangle hands, hair, clothing, or accessories
resulting in serious injury.
• NEVER place hands or body parts inside of running
pump or hoses.
• NEVER operate water pump without protective
housing or covers.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that
may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
NOTICE This water pump is manufactured to
pump ONLY water that is not intended for human
consumption.
NOTICE Improper treatment of water pump could
damage it and shorten its life.
• If you have questions about intended use, ask
dealer or contact qualified service center.
• Be sure pump chamber is filled with water before
starting the engine. Never run pump without priming.
• Use a non-collapsible hose on the suction side of pump.
• Use water pump only for intended uses.
• Pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical
solutions, or any other liquid that promotes
corrosion can damage the pump.
• Ensure all connections are air tight.
• DO NOT obstruct suction or discharge hose in
any way.
• NEVER operate pump without strainer basket
connected to end of suction hose.
• DO NOT exceed suction head maximum (see
Specifications). Use shortest suction head possible.
• NEVER allow vehicles to drive over hoses. If a hose
must be positioned across a roadway, use planking
on each side of hose to allow vehicles to pass over
without obstructing or collapsing hose.
• Anchor pump to avoid "walking" or equipment
movement, especially if located near a ditch or edge
of open ravine. The equipment could fall in.
• Keep equipment away from edge of river or lake
where it could cause the bank to collapse.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
• NEVER operate units with broken or missing parts,
or without protective housing or covers.
• DO NOT by-pass any safety device on this machine.
• NEVER move machine by pulling on hoses - use frame
on unit.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to
operate or service water pump.
• Check fuel system for leaks or signs of deterioration,
such as chafed or spongy hose, loose or missing
clamps, or damaged tank or cap. Correct all defects
before operating water pump.

& Stratton Power Products authorized parts only. If
equipment is used with parts that DO NOT comply
with minimum specifications, user assumes all risks
and liabilities.
