100742 - 2 IN. (5 CM) SEMI-TRASH PUMP
OPERATION
 DANGER
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot
see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and
windows are open.
ONLY use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,
and vents.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in
carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
 WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible
materials.
Place the water pump on a flat, level surface. The pump should
be placed close to the water level to ensure maximum pump
performance.
Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and size of the
suction and discharge hoses. The pumping height, also known as
the total head, is the distance from the water level to the point of
discharge. As this distance increases, pump output decreases.
The discharge capacity is greater than the suction capacity.
Therefore, it is important that the suction head is less than the
discharge head. The time required to draw water from the source
to the pump (self-priming time) can be decreased by minimizing
the suction head.
