PUMP STORAGE
For storage of the pump for over 30 days, the following is
required:
Drain the fuel tank completely.
Run the engine for about 3 minutes and then stop engine.
With the engine off, drain the engine crankcase oil while
the engine is still warm. Fill engine crankcase with fresh
oil.
Wipe any oil or dirt that may have accumulated on the
engine.
Remove the drain plug from the pump and drain out any
water left in the housing.
Remove the pump cover and clean the inside of pump
housing. Coat the inside of pump housing with a light
film of oil to reduce corrosion. A spray can of oil works
well for this application.
Cover suction and discharge ports with duct tape to
prevent any foreign matter from falling into pump.
Cover pump and engine with plastic covering or
equivalent and store in a clean, dry place.
To protect the water cooled-seals, place one-half pint
of lubricating oil (new or used) through the discharge
opening on the pump and crank the engine several times.
This will prevent excessive corrosion and also keep the
mechanical seal lubricated.
Disconnect the battery cables from the battery.
