Storage Precautions
If your pump will be stored with gasoline in
the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to
reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition.
Select a well-ventilated storage area away from
anyappliancethatoperateswithaame,such
as a furnace ,water heater, or clothes dryer.
Also avoid any area with a spark-producing
electric motor, or where power tools are
operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high
humidity, because that promotes rust and
corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the
fuel tank, leave the fuel valve lever in the
OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage.
Position the pump so that it is level. Tilting can
cause fuel or oil leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool,
cover the pump to keep out dust. A hot
engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt
some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as
a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap
moisture around the engine, promoting rust
and corrosion.
Removal From Storage
Check your engine as described in the
BEFORE OPERATION chapter of this manual.
If the fuel was drained during storage
preparation,llthetankwithfreshgasoline.If
you keep a container of gasoline for refueling,
be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time,
causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during
storage preparation, the engine may smoke
brieyatstartup.Thisisnormal.
Transporting
If the pump has been running, allow it to cool
for at least 15 minutes before loading the
pump on the transport vehicle. A hot engine
and exhaust system can burn you and can
ignite some materials.
Keep the pump level when transporting to
reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Move
the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
