SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOR

WESTINGHOUSE WP160 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOR - 1

DANGER

Fire and explosion hazard. Gasoline

is highly explosive and flammable and can cause severe burns or death.

WESTINGHOUSE WP160 - DANGER - 1

WARNING

Fire and Burn Hazard. NEVER loosen

or remove the fuel cap while the unit is running. Turn the unit off and allow it to cool for at least five minutes before adding gasoline. Loosen the fuel cap slowly.

WESTINGHOUSE WP160 - WARNING - 1

WARNING

In case of a gasoline fire, do not at-

tempt to extinguish the flame unless the engine/fuel control switch is in the OFF position. Introducing an extinguisher to a unit with an open fuel switch could create an explosion hazard.

- Fire Hazard. Gasoline is highly flammable. Handle with care.

  • Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
  • Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.
  • Do not store gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
  • Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
  • Store any containers containing gasoline in a well-ventilated area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition.
  • ALWAYS store gasoline in a container approved for gasoline. Unapproved containers can break or deteriorate allowing gasoline or gasoline vapors to escape which can create a serious hazard.
  • Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential leaks quickly.
    • Gas vapors can cause a fire if ignited.
  • Do not smoke when handling fuel, adding fuel to the unit, or emptying the gas tank.

FIG. 4
WESTINGHOUSE WP160 - NOTICE - 1

text_image Exploded view diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered parts for identification

Locate the water pump on a flat, level, sturdy surface capable of supporting the weight of the unit.

  1. For the best performance, place the unit near the water level and use hoses that are no longer than necessary. See the diagram below.

WESTINGHOUSE WP160 - NOTICE - 2

text_image Discharge Head Water Pump Suction Head Total Head

As the head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. A non-collapsible suction hose must be used. The length, type, and size of the suction and discharge hoses can significantly affect output.

The discharge head capability is always greater than suction head capability. This means the pumping height for the intake hose (suction head) should be shorter than the pumping height for the Discharge Hose.

Minimizing the suction head (placing the unit closer to the water level) will also help make it easier to prime the pump (fill it with water).

  1. See Figure 5. Route the intake hose (2) with the strainer (1) fully immersed in the water supply source.

  2. Place the strainer into water to be pumped.

NOTE: Failure to use or appropriately attach the strainer may void the warranty.

FIG. 5
WESTINGHOUSE WP160 - NOTICE - 3

text_image Technical diagram of a mechanical device with labeled parts 1 and 2, showing internal components and fluid flow path.

NOTE: Immerse the strainer fully in water. Do not operate the pump without the strainer connected to end of suction hose. Keep the strainer out of sand or silt by placing the strainer in a bucket or on stones.

NOTE: Air leaks must not appear in the suction line. If there is an air leak in the suction line, you will not be able to prime the pump. Use a thread sealant to seal air leaks.

  1. Secure the intake hose in place to keep it from moving once the Pump is turned on. The Intake Hose should be as short as possible for more efficient operation.

  2. Route the discharge hose to the desired discharge location. If necessary, connect additional discharge hoses to direct the discharge to the desired location. Make sure to secure the discharge hose in place to keep it from moving once the unit is turned on. The discharge hose should be kept as short as possible for more efficient operation.
