MQ41TDH TRASH PUMP — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #3 (04/02/07) — PAGE 9
■
Always make sure pump is correctly secured to the trailer.
Check all supports attaching the pump to the trailer and make
sure they are tight.
■
Always make sure that the pump's trailer is placed on solid
level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering
workers. Place blocks under the trailer's bumper to make it
level (prevents tipping), and use a chocked block underneath
the wheels to prevents rolling. Also keep the immediate area
free of bystanders.
■
High Temperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
with
hot
components can cause serious burns.
Emergencies
■
Always know the location of the nearest
fire extinguisher
and
first aid kit
. Know the location of the nearest telephone.
Also know the phone numbers of the nearest
ambulance
,
doctor
and
fire department
. This information will be
invaluable in the case of an emergency.
Maintenance Safety
■
NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running
machine.
■
Always allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool
before servicing.
■
Keep the machinery in proper running condition.
■
Fix damage to the machine immediately and always replace
broken parts.
■
Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Examples of potentially
hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.
■
DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dispose of
hazardous waste.
■
DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground,
down a drain or into any water source.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not
recommended by Multiquip for this equipment. Damage to
the equipment and/or injury to user may result.
■
NEVER pump volatile, flammable or low flash point fluids.
These fluids could ignite or explode.
■
NEVER pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic
substances. These fluids could create serious health and
environmental hazards. Contact local authorities for
assistance.
■
NEVER open the priming plug when pump is hot. Hot water
inside could be pressurized much like the radiator of an
automobile. Allow pump to cool to the touch before loosening
plug.
■
NEVER open the pump housing during operation or start the
pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump
can cut or sever objects caught in it.
■
NEVER block or restrict flow from discharge hose. Remove
kinks from discharge line before starting pump. Operation
with a blocked discharge line can cause water inside pump to
overheat.
■
NEVER Run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine
damage may occur.
■
Check the
air cleaner blockage indicator
daily. If the rubber
bellows is pulled inwards this indicates restricted air flow,
replace air cleaner.
■
Always read, understand, and follow procedures in
Hatz
Engine Operator’s Manual
before attempting to operate
equipment.
■
Always be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety
precautions and operations techniques before using pump.
■
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.
■
Refer to the
Hatz Engine Owner's Manual
for engine
technical questions or information.
■
Always fill the pump casing with water before starting the
engine. Failure to maintain water inside the pump housing
will cause severe damage to the pump.
■
In winter drain water from pump housing to prevent freezing.
