PUMP STORAGE

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

1.Drain the fuel tank completely.

2.Run the engine until the fuel in the carburetor is completely consumed.

3.Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase and fi ll with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedures described in the engine manual for engine storage.

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

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

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

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

8.To 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.
