Storage
For short and long-term storage, please follow these
guidelines.
Flushing the Pump
Flush the pump with clean water after each used is
advised. This will help to extend the life of the pump as
some materials pumped may leave residue that could
corrode parts, build up over time, or cause harm to any
plants, animals or humans. Flushing the pump will help
to reduce any damage and dangers caused by pumping
chemicals and pesticides.
Drain Plug
Make sure to unscrew and use the drain plug after each
use. By draining the pump, this will help to ensure little
to no water is left in the pump and will help prevent
damage to the pump if water residue freezes. DO NOT
use the Drain Plug during pump operation, as this may
cause injury or death.
Engine switch should be in the “OFF” position while pulling
the recoil cord, and performing storage maintenance steps.
NOTE
