MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
For storage of the unit for over 30 days, the following is
required:
Drain the fuel tank completely.
Run the engine until the fuel in the carburetor is
completely consumed.
Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase
and fill with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedure
described in the engine manual for engine storage.
Remove the drain plug from the pump and drain out any
water left in the housing.
Remove the pump cover and clean inside of pump
housing. Coat inside of pump housing with a light film
of oil to reduce corrosion. A spray can of oil works well
for this application.
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.
Drain water tank completely.
