STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your machine
trouble free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust
and corrosion from impairing your pump's function and appearance,
and will make the machine easier to start when you next use it again.
If possible avoid storage areas with high humidity because that
promotes rust and corrosion.

machine away The exhaust pipe continues to be hot after the engine
stops. Never place the machine near flammable material (dry grass,
etc.) gas, or liquid fuel. Make sure the machine stays out of the reach of
children.

vapours may come into contact with a flame, a spark or a source of
intense heat. If the machine is not to be used for an extended time
period, empty all the fuel from the fuel tank and the carburettor, clean
up any fuel spillages and put the machine in a safe, dry place.
