5-1. Procedures for Storing Pump
WARNING
•
To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the engine cool before transporting it or storing
it indoors.
•
When transporting the pump, turn the fuel shutoff valve to the OFF position and keep the
engine level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite.
A. The following procedures should be followed before storing your pump for periods of 6
months or longer.
(1)
Carefully drain fuel from the fuel tank; gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually dete-
riorate making engine start difficult.
(2) Remove the carburetor float chamber and also drain the carburetor.
(3) Change engine oil.
(4) Check for loose bolts and screws; tighten if necessary.
(5) Clean pump thoroughly with oiled cloth. Spray with preservative if available.
NEVER
USE WATER TO CLEAN PUMP!
(6) Pull starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that position.
(7) Store pump in a well-ventilated, low humidity area.
