STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
If your pump will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the
hazard of gasoline vapor
ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance
that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve
lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
