8. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
m When transporting the pump, turn the fuel valve OFF and keep
the pump level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may
ignite.
Before storing the pump for an extended period;
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Clean the pump interior before shutting down or the impeller may be
damaged when restarting. After flushing, remove the pump drain plug,
drain as much water as possible from the pump housing and replace the
plug.
3. Drain the fuel . . .
a. With the fuel valve in the ON position, remove the carburetor drain
screw, and drain all the gasoline from the fuel tank into a suitable
container.
b. Reinstall the carburetor drain screw.
m Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Perform this task in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or
allow fla’mes or sparks in the area during this procedure.
