• Never attempt to modify the water pump. It can cause an accident as
well as damage to the water pump and appliances. Tampering with the
engine voids the EU type-approval of this engine.
– Do not connect an extension to the muffler.
– Do not modify the intake system.
– Do not adjust the governor.
• Always make a pre-operation check (see page 11) before you start the
engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
• For safety, never pump flammable or corrosive liquids such as gasoline
or acid. Also, to avoid pump corrosion, never pump sea water, chemical
solutions, or caustic liquids such as used oil, wine, or milk.
• Place the pump on a firm, level surface lest the pump should overturn.
• To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the
pump at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from building walls and other
equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the
pump.
• Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation to
reduce a possibility of burns from the hot engine components.
• Know how to stop the pump quickly, and understand the operation of all
controls. Never permit anyone to operate the pump without proper
instructions.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death.
• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or
gasoline leaks.

• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be
careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the
engine cool before storing the water pump indoors.
• The engine exhaust system will be heated during
operation and remain hot immediately after
stopping the engine.
To prevent scalding, pay attention to the warning
marks attached to the water pump.
