MQ-D306HA — PREPARATION FOR LONG -TERM STORAGE
Pump Storage
For storage of the pump for over 30 days, the following is
required:
z
Drain the fuel tank completely.
z
Run the engine until the fuel is completely consumed.
z
Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase
and fill with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedures
described in the engine manual for engine storage.
z
Remove the pump cover and clean inside of pump
housing. Coat inside of pump housing with a light film of
oil to reduce corrosion. A spray can of oil works well for
this application.
z
Cover suction and discharge ports with duct tape to
prevent any foreign matter from falling into pump.
z
Cover pump and engine with plastic covering or
equivalent and store in a clean, dry place.
z
To protect the water cooled-seals, place one-half pint of
lubricating oil (new or used) through the discharge opening
on the pump and crank the engine several times. This
will prevent excessive corrosion and also keep the
mechanical seal lubricated.
