Engine Oil (See Fig 17)
• For long term storage (over 90 days) change engine oil (See pg 15)
• Remove spark plug (See pg 17) and pour 1 tablespoon of clean engine oil into cylinder.
• To distribute oil in the cylinder, pull the recoil starter several times.
• Reinstall spark plug (See pg 17)
• Slowly pull recoil starter grip until the the top hole of the recoil starter cover aligns with the notch on the pulley. This
keeps the valve closed during storage so that moisture cannot enter the engine cylinder.
Storage Location
• If pump is stored with gasoline, store pump in a well-ventilated area away from anything that operates with an open
flame or generates sparks. To prevent leakage, store pump on a level surface with the Fuel Valve lever in the "OFF"
position.
• To prevent rust, avoid storing pump in areas with high humidity.
• To protect from dust, cover with a tarp or plastic sheet.
WARNING! Storage cover could be flammable. Let engine cool before covering pump.
Remove from Storage
See pg 10 Pre-Operation Checklist
Transporting Pump
• Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" postion.
