PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your pump trouble
free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and
corrosion from impairing your pump s function and appearance, and will
make the engine easier to start when you use the pump again.
Cleaning
1. Wash the engine and pump.
Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from
entering the air cleaner or muffler opening. Keep water away from
controls and all other places that are difficult to dry, as water
promotes rust.
NOTICE
• Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force
water into the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the air
cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the air
filter or muffler can enter the cylinder, causing damage.
• Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has
been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before
washing.
2. Wipe dry all accessible surfaces.
3. Fill the pump chamber with clean, fresh water, start the engine
outdoors, and let it run until it reaches normal operatingtemperature
to evaporate any external water.
NOTICE
Dry operation will damage the pump seal. Be sure the pump chamber is
filled with water before starting the engine.
