WARNING: Prevent accidental starting by always removing spark
plug or by disconnecting and grounding spark plug wire before
working on engine or pump.
NOTE: Replace the spark plug or wire only after all preparation is completed on
both pump and engine.
1. Fuel System:
If the unit is to be stored for any length of time, drain the fuel system by running
until it stops as instructed in STOPPING PROCEDURE. The wraparound frame unit
can be run until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel.
2. Engine:
See engine manual for storage instructions.
3. Pump:
a) Follow the procedure under Maintenance-Daily or every 8 Hours, item 2
Pump inlet.
b) Drain water from pump thoroughly. After the flow has ceased, pump should be
turned over a few revolutions so that all water will drain from impeller.
c) While turning the pump over, using the starting handle spray into the pump
inlet and discharge tube with a white lithium or silicone type lubricant.
This treatment coats the inside of the pump and tends to prevent the clearance
ring and impeller hub from sticking due to corrosion.
d) Spray the threads of the inlet and discharge connections with either a white
lithium or silicone type lubricant.
