1.2.1

General advice

On receipt of the electric pump, check that the equipment is in good condition and that the order is complete. The handling of a
motor pump should be done smoothly without brute force, taking care to prepare its installation or storage location in advance.
Before each use:
- learn how to stop the motor pump in an emergency,
- fully understand all the commands and manoeuvres.
Warning
In the interests of safety, always adhere to the maintenance schedule (see maintenance table). Never carry out repairs or
maintenance operations without the necessary experience and/or correct tools.
Never allow any other person to use the motor pump without having been given the necessary instructions beforehand.
Never allow a child to touch the motor pump, even when it is shut down. Avoid operating the motor pump in the presence of animals
(fear, aggravation, etc.).
Never start the engine without an air filter or exhaust.
Never invert the positive & negative terminals while installing the batteries (if equipped): an inversion can cause serious damage to
the electrical equipment.
Never cover the motor pump with any material during its operation or immediately after stoppage (wait for the engine to cool down).
Never coat the motor pump with oil, even to protect it from corrosion; preservative oils are inflammable & dangerous if inhaled.
In all situations, follow current local regulations concerning the usage of motor pumps.
1.2.2 Safety guidelines to prevent fire
Danger
1.2.3 Safety guidelines against burns
Never touch the engine or the exhaust silencer during operation of the motor pump or immediately after its
stoppage.
Warning
Hot oil causes burns, avoid contact with the skin. Before any intervention, ensure that the system is no longer under pressure.
Never start or run the engine without the oil filler plug (oil discharge risk).
1.2.4 Danger of moving parts
Danger
1.2.5 Safety guidelines for exhaust gases
Danger
Keeping safety in mind and for the proper operation of the motor pump, good ventilation is essential (risk of intoxication, engine
overheating, accidents or damage to surrounding equipment and assets). If operation inside a building is necessary, it is absolutely
imperative that exhaust gases are evacuated to the exterior, and that adequate ventilation is provided so that any people or animals
present are in no way affected.
1.2.6

Protecting the environment

Drain the engine oil into a container provided for that purpose: never drain or spill engine oil onto the floor.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberation onto the walls or other structures (amplification of volume).
For motor pump usage in wooded or scrub areas or on grassy terrain, and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester,
clear a sufficiently large area and take extra care that the sparks cannot cause a fire.
1.2.7

Filling with fuel

Danger
Storage and handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time
the tank has been filled. Never top up with fuel when the electric pump is in operation or hot.
Always position the electric pump on level, flat and horizontal ground to avoid fuel spillage on the engine. Top up the fuel tank with
a funnel while taking care not to spill any fuel, then retighten the fuel tank cap.
Never operate the motor pump in an area containing explosive materials (risk of sparks).
Remove all inflammable or explosive material (petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) during operation of
the motor pump.
Never cover the motor pump with any material during its operation or immediately after its
stoppage: always wait for the engine to cool down.
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that
is not enclosed in a protective hair net.
Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.
Carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases may lead to death if the concentration ratio is high
than in the air that one breathes.
Always use the motor pump in a well ventilated area where the gases will not accumulate.
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Filling should be carried out with the engine turned off. Smoking, using a naked flame or
producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
