SAFETY

Do not operate an internal combustion
engine in an explosive atmosphere.
When operating internal combustion
engines in an enclosed area, make cer-
tain that exhaust fumes are piped to the
outside. These fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas that is color-
less, tasteless, and odorless.

Fuel used by internal combustion en-
gines presents an extreme explosion
and fire hazard. Make certain that all
fuel lines are securely connected and
free of leaks. Never refuel a hot or run-
ning engine. Avoid overfilling the fuel
tank. Always use the correct type of fuel.

Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. The maximum continuous
operating speed for this pump is 3600
RPM.
