Operating Precautions
1. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
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.
2. Keep children away from the equipment,
especially while it is operating.
3. Do not touch Pump engine during use.
4. Never store fuel or other flammable
materials near the Pump engine.
5. Industrial applications must follow
OSHA requirements.
6. Do not leave the equipment unattended when it is
running. Turn off the equipment (and remove safety
keys, if available) before leaving the work area.
7. Engine can produce high noise levels.
Prolonged exposure to noise levels above
85 dBA is hazardous to hearing. Always wear
ear protection when operating or working
around the gas engine while it is operating.
8. Wear ANSI‑approved safety glasses, hearing
protection, and NIOSH‑approved dust mask/
respirator under a full face shield along
with steel‑toed work boots during use.
9. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
Caution is necessary when near the
engine’s magneto or recoil starter.
10. Use only accessories that are recommended
by Harbor Freight Tools for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one
piece of equipment may become hazardous
when used on another piece of equipment.
11. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Gasoline‑powered
engines may ignite the dust or fumes.
