CAUTION

„ Be careful of discharge whipping under pressure.

NOTICE

„ NEVER leave an open pump chamber unattended.

„ ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.

„ DO NOT attempt to thaw out a frozen pump by using a torch or other source of flame. Application of heat in this manner may heat the oil in the seal cavity above the critical point, causing pump damage.

„ DO NOT pump water greater than 140°F.

„ DO NOT pump liquids containing acid or alkali.

„ DO NOT fill/pump heavy debris laden water.

„ Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts immediately.

„ 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 and unauthorized personnel.

„ NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running machine.

„ ALWAYS allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool before servicing.

„ Keep machine in proper running condition.

ENGINE SAFETY

WARNING

„ DO NOT place hands or fingers inside engine compartment when engine is running.

„ NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or guards removed.

„ DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the oil tank and severely scald any persons in the general area of the pump.

CAUTION

„ NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool before servicing equipment.

NOTICE

„ NEVER run engine without an air filter or with a dirty air filter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service air filter frequently to prevent engine malfunction.

„ NEVER tamper with the factory settings of the engine or engine governor. Damage to the engine or equipment can result if operating in speed ranges above the maximum allowable

FUEL SAFETY

DANGER

„ DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids. Fuel is extremely flammable and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited.

„ ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.

„ ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.

„ DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.

„ DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from the ignition system.

„ Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

„ NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.

„ DO NOT smoke around or near the equipment. Fire or explosion could result
from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

TOWING SAFETY

CAUTION

„ Check with your local county or state safety towing regulations, in addition to meeting Department of Transportation (DOT) Safety Towing Regulations, before towing your water trailer.

„ In order to reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the water trailer on public roads, ALWAYS make sure the trailer and the towing vehicle are
mechanically sound and in good operating condition.

„ ALWAYS shut down engine before transporting.

„ Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross vehicle weight rating.”

„ ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.

„ Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and trailer. Trailer tires should be inflated to 50 psi cold.
Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

„ ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a safety chain.

„ ALWAYS properly attach trailer’s safety chains to towing vehicle.

„ ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional, backup, brake and trailer lights are connected and working properly.

„ DOT Requirements include the following:
• Connect and test electric brake operation.
• Secure portable power cables in cable tray with tie wraps.

„ The maximum speed for highway towing is 55 MPH unless posted otherwise. Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.

„ Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding or jack-knifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve towing.

„ Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

„ For Hydraulic Brake Models ALWAYS ensure that when backing up it is done in a slow, straight, and steady manner to safeguard the brakes from locking up.

„ Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times when towing.

„ Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in up position when towing.

„ Place chock blocks underneath wheels to prevent rolling while parked.

„ Place support blocks underneath the trailer’s bumper to prevent tipping while parked.

„ Use the trailer’s swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to a level position while parked.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONING

NOTICE

Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable.
If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable safety risk due to wear or damage or is no longer cost effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to be decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement), be
sure to follow rules below.

„ DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source.

„ Contact your country’s Department of Public Works or recycling agency in your area and arrange for proper disposal of any electrical components, waste or oil associated with this equipment.

„When the life cycle of this equipment is over, remove battery, if any, and bring to appropriate facility for lead reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling batteries that contain sulfuric acid.

„When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it is recommended that the water trailer frame and all other metal parts be sent to a recycling center.
Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from discarded products and its transformation into raw materials to use in manufacturing a new product.
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process of recycling metal. Using a metal recycling center promotes energy cost savings.

The gasoline engine used in this equipment has been designed to reduce harmful levels of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)
contained in gasoline exhaust emissions.

This engine has been certified to meet US EPA evaporative emissions requirements in the installed configuration.

Attempting to modify or make adjustments to the engine emission system by unauthorized personnel without proper training could damage the equipment or create an unsafe condition.

Additionally, modifying the fuel system may adversely affect evaporative emissions, resulting in fines or other penalties.
