QP- 40TE — PREPARATION FOR LONG -TERM STORAGE

Pump Storage

For storage of the pump for over 30 days, the following is required:

zDrain the fuel tank completely.

zRun the engine until the fuel in the injection system is completely consumed.

zCompletely drain used oil from the engine crankcase and fill with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedures described in the engine manual for engine storage.

zRemove the drain plug from the pump and drain out any water from left in the housing.

zRemove the pump cover and clean inside of pump housing. Coat inside of pump housing with a light film of oil to reduce corrosion. A spray can of oil works well for this application.

zCover suction and discharge ports with duct tape to prevent any foreign matter from falling into pump.

zCover pump and engine with plastic covering or equivalent and store in a clean, dry place.

zTo protect the water cooled-seals, place one-half pint of lubricating oil (new or used) through the discharge opening on the pump and crank the engine several times. This will prevent excessive corrosion and also keep the mechanical seal lubricated.
