STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Align notch on pulley with
hole at top of cover.
Change the engine oil (see page ).
Remove the spark plug (see page ).
Pour a tablespoon (5 10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
Pull the starter grip several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
Reinstall the spark plug.
Pull the starter grip slowly until resistance is felt and the notch on
the starter pulley aligns with the hole at the top of the recoil starter
cover. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine
cylinder. Return the starter grip gently.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve
lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
If your pump will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor
ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance
that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
