ATTENZIONE: la mancata osservanza di queste istruzioni di sicurezza potrebbe causare lesioni gravi o mortali.

• Leggi il manuale: Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the pump.
• Sicurezza del carburante: Diesel fuel is flammable. Store fuel in approved containers away from ignition sources. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke while refueling.
• Fumi di scarico: Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operate the pump only in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Never operate indoors or in enclosed spaces.
• Superfici calde: The engine and pump components become very hot during operation and remain hot for some time after shutdown. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• Electrical Safety (Electric Start Models): Ensure battery connections are secure and correct. Do not short-circuit battery terminals. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling batteries.
• Parti mobili: Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts such as the flywheel, fan, and recoil starter.
• Superficie stabile: Operate the pump on a level, stable surface to prevent tipping.
• Fonte d'acqua: Ensure the suction hose is securely connected and submerged in clean water, free of debris that could damage the pump.
