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°.

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 Honda GXH50 engine runs on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating
of 86 or higher (a research octane rating of 1 or higher) and requires a quantity
of 0.26 qt (0.25 L) of oil SAE10W-30 API SH or SJ oil (or equivalent) for a running
temperature range of 23°F (-5°C) to 104°F (40°C). (Refer to the engine manual)
