The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your pump set for periods of 6 months
or longer:
•
Remove priming plug and drain plug, flush the chamber with clean water, reinstall the priming plug
and drain plug. After stopping the engine, cool for half an hour at least, then flush all outer surfaces
and wipe it.
Higher pressure flushing water can enter into the air filter and muffler, even
entering into the cylinder along the air path, resulting in corrosion and
damage. So, operation must be performed only after stopping and cooling.
•
After drain away the pump-barrel, stop the engine out of gas by closing the gasoline carburetor
faucet to evacuate the gasoline in the carburetor.
•
Remove drain plug of the carburetor and sediment cup, then open the fuel lever. Completely drain
the fuel from the carburetor and fuel tank, then install the sediment cup and drain plug back and
tighten them.
•
Change the engine oil.
•
Remove drain plug as previously. Pour a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the
engine several revolutions to distribute oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug back.
•
Pull the starter grip slowly until resistance is felt. During such a process, intake and exhaust valves
keep closed to restrict the moisture entering into cylinder head, then, return the starter grip gently.
•
Repair damaged enamel paint, and apply a thin film of grease to the areas likely to be rusty.
•
Cover a dust-proof sleeve on the water pump and place it in the ventilated area.
