STORAGE
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Place the pump on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the pump to keep out
dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some
materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover
will trap moisture around the pump, promoting rust and corrosion.
Check your pump as described in the
BEFORE OPERATION
chapter of
this manual.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with
fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be
sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and
deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
