PUMP SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Husqvarna W 50P and W 80P pumps are designed to pump only fresh
water that is not intended for human consumption; other uses can result
in injury to the operator or damage to the pump and other property.
Most injuries or property damage can be prevented if you follow all
instructions in this manual and on the pump. The most common hazards
are discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and
others.
Operator Responsibility
It is the operator's responsibility to provide the necessary safeguards to
protect people and property. Know how to stop the pump quickly in case
of emergency. If you leave the pump for any reason, always turn the
engine off. Understand the use of all controls and connections.
Be sure that anyone who operates the pump receives proper instruction.
Do not let children operate the pump. Keep children and pets away from
the area of operation.
Pump Operation
Pump only fresh water that is not intended for human consumption.
Pumping flammable liquids, such as gasoline or fuel oils, can result in a
fire or explosion, causing serious injury. Pumping sea water, beverages,
acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion
can damage the pump.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped and
the pump on a level surface. Do not fill the fuel tank above the fuel
strainer shoulder. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames
and sparks away. Always store gasoline in an approved container.
Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the
engine.
