Operating Safety
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of
equipment! Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous! Read the operating instructions contained in both
this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment before
being allowed to operate the machine.
2.2.1
NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper
training. People operating this equipment must be familiar with the
risks and hazards associated with it.
2.2.2
NEVER touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or
immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may
cause burns.
2.2.3
NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by
Wacker. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may result.
2.2.4
NEVER pump volatile, flammable or low flash point fluids. These fluids
could ignite or explode.
2.2.5
NEVER pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic
substances. These fluids could create serious health and
environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for assistance.
2.2.6
NEVER open priming plug when pump is hot. Never loosen or remove
inlet or discharge hose fittings when pump is hot. Hot water inside
could be pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile. Allow
pump to cool to the touch before loosening plug and before loosening
or removing inlet or discharge hose fittings.
2.2.7
NEVER open pump housing cover while pump is operating, or start
pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump can cut
or sever objects caught in it.
2.2.8
NEVER block or restrict flow from inlet line or discharge line. Remove
kinks from discharge line before starting pump. Operation with a
blocked inlet line or discharge line can cause water inside pump to
overheat.
2.2.9
ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in Operator's
Manual before attempting to operate equipment.
2.2.10
ALWAYS be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precautions
and operation techniques before using machine.
2.2.11
ALWAYS be sure machine is on a firm, level surface and will not tip,
roll, slide, or fall while operating.
2.2.12
ALWAYS close fuel valve on engines equipped with one when
machine is not being operated.
2.2.13
ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used.
Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of
children.
