SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Don't touch the engine when it is hot.
• Avoid touching the engine and muffler with
any part of your body or clothing during
inspection or repair, while hey are still hot.
• Pump failure will occur if the suction
strainer is not properly fitted.
The strainer keeps the size of the sus-
pended solids entering the pump to the
predetermined size the pump has been
designed to handle.
The strainer should be installed in the
position where water accumulates most
easily.
When installing on soft ground, such as
gravel or sand, position wooden boards or
blocks, etc. below the strainer to prevent it
from sinking into the ground.
• Never run the engine if the ambient tem-
perature is above 40 °C (104 °F) or below
5 °C (41 °F).
NOTICE
· Clear water refers to water-supply water,
well-water with no heavy filth (such as slit,
clay, heavy mud).
Also, it is not suitable for seawater.
· Seawater refers to water that contains salt.
· Sandy and muddy water (suspended solids)
are defined as debris "floating" within the wa-
ter.
Also, it is not suitable for seawater.
· Trash Pumps/Semi-Trash Pumps are designed
to pump water with up to 25%/10% suspended
solid* solution. If the suspended solid percent-
age is higher, premature wear and failure will
occur. To properly pump water with any debris,
any solids must be in a suspension.
CAUTION
• Never run the engine If the humidity is
over 80%.
• Avoid operating in the presence of chemi-
cal gases or fumes.
• Never run the engine in a hazardous area.
• Never run the engine If a sandstorm oc-
curs.
• Never run the engine If an earthquake
occurs.
• Avoid operating in the presence of ma-
chine that generates vibration.
• The engine should be used under an alti-
tude of 1000 m.
• Never install the engine in a floodplain un-
less proper precautions are taken to avoid
being subject to a flood.
• Follow the instructions for disposal in each
country.
* Suspended solids are defined as debris "float-
ing" within the water. The size of the suspend-
ed solid that can be pumped is determined by
the size of the pump. Refer to the chart below
for maximum suspended size.
· Use correct type of suction hose. Water tem-
perature tolerance: 5 to 45°C (41 to 113 °F).
May cause breakage if use outside the men-
tioned range.
· Please use suction hose for suction side.
Please purchase suitable hose to fit to connec-
tion dia and suitable length.
· Do not run pump without water inside the
pump.
This will cause pump damage.
· Please firmly connect hose with coupling
and hose band when you connect suction or
discharge hose to pump.
