STORAGE

STORAGE PREPARATION

Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your pump
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 engine easier to start when you use
the pump again.
OFF
Cleaning the Engine
Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from
entering the air cleaner or muffler.
NOTICE
• Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force
water into the air cleaner. Water in the air cleaner will soak the
filter and can enter the carburetor or engine, causing damage.
• Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine
has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before
washing.
Cleaning the Pump
1. Wash the pump with a garden hose or other low pressure
equipment. Keep water away from controls and all other places
that are difficult to dry, as water may promote rust.
2. After washing, remove as much standing water as possible with a
dry cloth. Fill the pump chamber with water. Start the engine
outdoors and let it run until it reaches normal operating
temperature to evaporate any water remaining on the engine.
NOTICE
Operating the pump dry will damage the pump seal. Be sure the
pump chamber is filled with water before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
4. If the pump was filled
with a chemical, follow
the chemical
manufacturer's handling
procedures.
Clean the pump interior
by removing the pump
drain plug [1] and
flushing with fresh water.
After flushing, drain the
water from the pump
chamber. Install the
pump drain plug.
5. After the pump is clean
and dry, touch up any
damaged paint, and coat
other areas that may rust
with a light film of oil.
