EMPTYING THE RECOVERY TANK
Simply lower the drain hose, telescope out to a drain and let the
recovery tank drain. The farther you telescope the hose the faster
the water will drain.
When finished draining recovery tank loosen both knobs on the
recovery clean out door. The door will pivot on the left knob, allowing
room to let any debris to be sprayed out of the recovery tank with a
water hose or pressure washer.
MACHINE STORAGE
GASOLINE POWERED MACHINES
Machines to be stored over 30 days should be completely drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits from forming on
essential carburetor parts, fuel filter, and tank.
The use of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL, or an equivalent, will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. Such an additive may be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the engine.
The following procedures should be used to prepare the machine for storage:
1.
Remove all fuel from the tank. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
2.
While the engine is still warm, drain oil from the crankcase. Refill with fresh oil.
3.
Remove spark plug, pour approximately ½ ounce (15 grams) of engine oil into the cylinder and crank slowly
to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.
4.
Store in a clean and dry area.
