STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your water pump troublefree 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.
Cleaning
1. Wash the engine and pump.
Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from entering the air cleaner or muffler opening. Keep water away from
controls and all other places that are difficult to dry, as water promotes rust.
CAUTION
2. Wipe dry all accessible surfaces.
3. Fill the pump chamber with clean, fresh water, start the engine outdoors, and let it run until it reaches normal operating
temperature to evaporate any external water.
4. Stop the engine, and allow it to cool.
5. Remove the pump drain plug, and flush the pump with clean, fresh water. Allow the water to drain from the pump chamber, and
then reinstall the drain plug.
CAUTION
6. After the pump is clean and dry, touch up any damaged paint, and coat areas that may rust with a light film of oil. Lubricate
controls with a silicone spray lubricant.
Fuel
Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate over time whilst in storage. Old petrol will make it harder to start the engine, and it leaves gum
deposits that clog the fuel system. If the petrol in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor
and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.
Fuel deterioration problems can be avoided by draining the fuel tank and carburetor prior to storage the water pump for long periods.
Refer to the engine manuals provided for instructions on
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Refer to the pre-operation checks as mentioned in the Operating Instruction section of this manual.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh petrol.
GB
If the pump has been running, allow the engine 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.
Using a garden hose or high-pressure washing equipment can force water into the engine, causing
damage
ALWAYS drain water from the pump after operating in cold conditions to prevent frost damage
occurring.
