Briggs & Stratton Water Transfer Pump manual Storage

Page 19

Storage

The water pump should be started at least once every seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare it for storage.

Long Term Storage Instructions

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

Protect Fuel System

Fuel Additive:

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs

&Stratton FRESH START™ fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to

24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WHEN DRAINING FUEL

•Turn water pump OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

•Drain fuel tank outdoors.

•Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Change Engine Oil

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil in Engine Maintenance.

Oil Cylinder Bore

•Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

•Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to distribute oil.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

• NEVER pull starter handle with spark plug removed.

Water Pump

1.Drain water pump as described in Drain and Flush Water Pump.

2.Clean water pump as described in Cleaning.

3.Check that openings on water pump are open and unobstructed.

Other Storage Tips

1.DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.

2.Replace fuel can if it starts to rust. Contaminated fuel will cause engine problems.

3.Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.

WARNING

Storage covers can be flammable.

•DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot water pump.

•Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover on the equipment.

4.Store water pump in clean, dry area.
