   • Gloves to protect hands from fuel, hot surfaces, and sharp edges

   • Respiratory mask if working in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas to avoid inhaling exhaust fumes

2. Operate in a Well-Ventilated Area:

   • Use the pump outdoors or in a space with adequate ventilation to prevent buildup of harmful exhaust gases

   • Avoid running the engine in enclosed spaces to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning

3. Fuel Handling and Storage:

   • Use the correct type of fuel as specified by the manufacturer

   • Store fuel in approved containers away from heat sources or flames

   • Refuel the pump only when the engine is off and cooled down to prevent fire hazards

   • Avoid spilling fuel and clean up any spills immediately

4. Inspect Equipment Before Use:

   • Check hoses, clamps, and connections for leaks or damage

   • Inspect the pump body and engine for cracks, loose parts, or wear

   • Ensure the fuel cap is secure and venting properly

5. Safe Operation:

   • Place the pump on a stable, level surface before starting

   • Do not overload the pump beyond its capacity

   • Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from moving parts

   • Avoid running the pump dry to prevent damage

   • Keep bystanders, especially children and pets, away from the operating area

6. Engine and Pump Maintenance:

   • Follow manufacturer’s maintenance schedule for oil changes, air filter cleaning, and spark plug inspection

   • Allow the engine and pump to cool before performing maintenance or storage

   • Disconnect the spark plug wire before servicing to prevent accidental starts

7. Emergency Preparedness:
