STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Align notch on pulley with
hole at the top of cover.
Change the engine oil (see page ).
Pull the recoil starter grip slowly until resistance is felt and the notch
on the starter pulley aligns with the hole at the top of the recoil
starter cover. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the
engine cylinder. Return the recoil starter grip gently.
Reinstall the spark plug.
Pull the starter grip several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
Pour a teaspoon (5 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
Remove the spark plug (see page ).
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.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
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.
