Storage - BG2800, BG5000, BG7000E
Storage Preparation
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine trouble-free and looking good.
The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your engine’s function
and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use it again.
Cleaning
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean
all exterior surfaces, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a
light film of oil.
Fuel
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated gasoline will cause hard starting,
and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates
during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components
serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing
functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures,
and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank
promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel
deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not
fresh when you filled the fuel tank.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage
preparation are not covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into
the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air
filter, and water that passes through the air filter or muffler can enter the
cylinder, causing damage.
Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel formulations
may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in
as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the carburetor and/or fuel system.
Please check with your servicing dealer for local storage recommendations.
