NOTE: It is normal for the Water Pump to fluctuate
speed while the system is self priming due to air
pockets in the suction hose.
Contact with muffler area can result in
serious burns. Exhaust heat/gases can
ignite combustibles, structures or
damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust
gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 feet (152 cm) of clearance on all sides
of water pump including overhead.
• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code,
Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any for-
est-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land
unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark
arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in
effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdic-
tions may have similar laws.
