STARTING THE PUMP UNIT
WARNING
The engine and water heater exhausts are lethal. Do not inhale these gases. A chemical-biological mask
does not protect against carbon monoxide. When the decontaminating apparatus is to be operated, the
exhaust gases must be vented away from the operator and outside of an enclosed area to prevent carbon
monoxide poisoning.
To avoid injury or electrical shock, keep the HEATER RECEPTACLE AND SWITCH on the pump unit
control panel to OFF when the water heater is not in use.
Wear hearing protection when operating the decontaminating apparatus.
