-OR-

4. Prepare engine for long-term (seasonal) storage if needed.

1. Inspect for worn or damaged parts:

Inspect the Hydraulic Power Pack for worn or damaged parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may have

become loose. Check for any fuel or hydraulic system leaks.

2. Choose a covered storage location:

Store the Hydraulic Power Pack in a location that is:

 Clean and dry.

 Away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks, and pilot lights, even if the gas tank is empty.

(Residual gasoline fumes can still ignite)

 Away from extreme high or low temperatures.

 Cover for extra protection.

WARNING: Stored Gasoline Vapor Fire 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 hot engine or exhaust);

Open flames, including pilot lights.

3. Start engine every 4 weeks:

For future easy starting and to minimize maintenance requirements, the Hydraulic Power Pack should be

started at least every four weeks and run for 10 to 15 minutes.

Monthly exercising of the engine 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.

4. Prepare engine for long-term (seasonal) storage if needed:

If you will not be able to start the engine 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 either removing all gasoline from the tank and carburetor, OR by

adding fuel stabilizer to the gasoline. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s instructions, which usually include

these steps:
