Transporting/Storage - Honda WB 15 Owner's Manual

8.TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
When transporting the water pump, turn the engine switch and the
fuel valve OFF. Keep the water pump level to prevent fuel spillage.
Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite.
Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious burns
or fires. Let the engine cool before transporting or storing the water
pump.
Before storing the pump for an extended period;
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Clean the pump interior.....
Sediment will settle in the pump if it has been used in muddy or
sandy water, or water containing heavy debris. Pump clean water
through the pump before shutting down or the impeller may be
damaged when restarting. After flushing, remove the pump drain
plug, and drain as much water as possible from the pump housing.
After the pump is dry, spray HONDA MULTI PURPOSE LUBE AND
RUST PENETRANT into the pump housing through the inlet port,
outlet port, and drain hole, then install the drain plug.
