Safety instructions

It is very important that you read and understand this handbook and the

owner’s manual of the engine before you start the pump.

oNEVER run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gases contain carbon

monoxide which is an odorless and potentially deadly gas. You can run it if

using the exhaust hoses extensions.

oNEVER run the pump in a radius of 3 ft (1m) of a building or combustible

object.

oNEVER operate the engine if there is an accumulation of grass, leaves, or

other combustible material around, behind or under the muffler.

oNEVER run the engine without a muffler or proper exhaust system.

oNEVER operate the engine if the fuel tank cap is removed, do not fill the tank

while the engine is running. If fuel is spilled, move machine away from the

area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until it has

completely evaporated.

oNEVER run the engine in an explosive environment.

oNEVER touch the spark plug or its components while running the engine; it

could give you an electric shock.

oNEVER put your foot or hand near moving parts.

oNEVER wear loose, bulky or torn clothing while operating the pump, it could

catch on moving parts and lead to serious injury.

oNEVER let your pump run unattended. It must always be operated by

trained personnel assuring the stability and direction of discharge hose.

oNEVER operate this machine while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

oNEVER spray the pressurised flow of water at a person or animal.

DANGER

C.E.T. Fire Pumps Mfg. This handbook is subject to change without notice,

Contact your local C.E.T. dealer or C.E.T. direct to ensure you have the latest version.

oNot following the instruction handbook directives and operating procedure

can lead to serious injuries, or even death. The operator and all other

members or personnel handling the hoses connected to the pump must be

trained and familiar with this type of product, know its limitations and have

read and understood the Instruction Handbook and engine manual.

oRisk of injuries resulting from pressure hazard.

Before you disconnect a hose or take off a cap on the inlet or outlet,

make sure the engine is stopped and open the drain valve to relieve

pressure.

NEVER touch a pressurized flow of water, it is abrasive and could lead

to serious injury.

oRisk of injuries resulting from very hot water, scald and burn hazards.

NEVER let the pump run for more than one minute with discharge

valve(s) completely closed. When the pump is running make sure to

always leave the discharge valve slightly opened, to avoid overheating

of the pump. If the pump runs completely closed with water flowing for

a few minutes, the water inside may heat-up and scald or burn the

operator when he opens the valve. The mechanical seal and other

components could also be damaged.

oRisk of injuries resulting from high temperature components, burn hazard.

NEVER touch the exhaust system, the muffler or the engine while it is

running. All these components get very hot and touching them may

cause burns.

oRisk of injuries resulting from kickback from the recoil starter.

To prevent injuries from kickback from the recoil starter, pull slowly on

the rope until you feel a resistance, then pull quickly.

oRisk of injuries resulting from tipping hazard.

NEVER operate the engine if the pump is not stable. Always chose a flat,

stable surface to operate the pump. The maximal slope for operation is

15°.

General instructions

This pump must only be operated by trained personnel.

WARNING: The hydraulic power of the pump discharge can cause

severe damage, even death. Never, upper any circumstance, point the

discharge hose toward a person or an animal, handle with care.

Highly contaminated water containing sand or rocks of diameters larger than

0.200” (5mm) could damage and shorten the lifespan of your pump. Always use a

strainer at the end of the suction hose. If you are not sure of the quality of the

pumped water, use a floating strainer to prevent drawing the sand or stone from

bottom source.

The Kawasaki FJ180V engine runs on clean, fresh, unleaded regular grade

gasoline fuel (conform with the Octane rating of a gasoline is a measure of its

resistance to “knocking” use a minimum of 87 octane of the antiknock index is

recommended) and requires a quantity of 0.6qt (0.6L) of oil (SAE10W-30/SAE10W-

40/SAE5W-20/SAE40/SAE30) for a running temperature range of -18°F (-28°C) to

118°F (48°C). (Refer to the engine manual)

WARNING: Always stop the engine before refilling the fuel tank.

WARNING: The exhaust system will get very hot. If the engine

manufacturer recommendations are not followed it could also emit

sparks, which could set the nearby environment on fire

CAUTION: Read and understand the engine owner’s manual and this

instruction handbook before you start the engine.

The pump and its frame have been designed to be easily transported by two adults

or more.

The pump shouldn’t be inclined by more than 35° during transport, especially if

the engine has oil in it.

Storage:

Warning: It is important to take into account the dangerous materials and

components, such as diesel, oil and the battery. Store away from heat

source, flames and sparks (e.g. heater using a pilot).

The pump should be stored in a cool, dry place away from salty air. If the pump is

to be stored for over 30 days, you should completely drain the fuel and carefully

follow the steps written in your engine owner’s manual. It is important to

disconnect the battery and charge it at least once every 3 months if you don’t use

the pump for that period of time.
