spark plug, in order to ensure the truck loader vac cannot be started in a
storage location or by untrained persons or children.
Start truck loader
vac every 4 weeks
The truck loader vac should be started regularly. At least every four
weeks, start the engine and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes.
Monthly exercising of the truck loader vac will dry out any moisture that
has accumulated, lubricate cylinders, and clean out old gas in the
carburetor. Moisture, old gas, and dry mechanical parts cause
deterioration in stored engines.
Prepare engine for
long term (seasonal)
storage if needed
If you will not be able to start the truck loader vac regularly, you must
prepare the engine for long term storage to prevent gum deposits from
forming and causing malfunction of the engine.
Prepare engine for long term storage by:
o Removing all gasoline from the tank and carburetor
OR
o Adding fuel stabilizer to the gasoline (following manufacturer’s
instructions)
Fuel stabilizer steps:
1. Ensure gas tank is full.
2. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.
3. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow it to enter the fuel system.
4. Shut off engine
5. Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark plug
6. Add one teaspoon oil through spark plug hole
7. Place rag over spark plug hole and turn starter (or pull the
recoil) a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.
8. Replace spark plug, but do not reconnect the spark plug
wire.
WARNING: Gasoline fire/explosion hazard
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Drain the fuel into an
approved container OUTDOORS and far away from open flame.
NEVER store an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel vapor can come in contact with
• static electric sparks
• sparks from electric wiring, batteries, or running engines
• sources of heat (such as a hot engine or exhaust)
•
open flames, including pilot lights
