Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Refer to the following
equipment for storage.
• DO NOT place a storage cover on a hot
water pump. Allow equipment to cool to
room temperature before storage.
• DO NOT store fuel from one season to
another unless properly treated.
• Replace fuel container if rust is present.
Rust in fuel will cause fuel system problems.
• Cover equipment with a suitable protective,
moisture resistant cover.
• Store equipment in a clean and dry area.
• Always store water pump and fuel away
from heat and ignition sources.

Prepare Fuel System for Storage

Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and
damage fuel system components. Keep fuel
fresh, use fuel stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system,
prepare and run engine according to
the Engine" Run engine for 10-15 minutes to
circulate stabilizer throughout fuel system.
Adequately prepared fuel can be stored up to
24 months.
CAUTION
Equipment damage. Always run engine with water
in the pump priming chamber. Failure to do so could
result in equipment damage.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run engine until it stops from lack
of fuel. Use of fuel stabilizer in fuel storage
container is recommended to keep fuel fresh.
