2. Dip the sponge filter in the
engine oil (clean) and squeeze it to
remove excess oil. If there is excess
oil in the sponge, the engine will
produce more smoke than usual.
3. Clean dirt at the base and filter
cover with a damp cloth. Take care
so that no dirt into the carburetor.
Cut the top off pump drain and flush
the pump with clean water. Wait un-
til the chamber is completely empty
and replace the drain cap.
After washing and drying of the
pump, and retouching the paint
cover the damaged areas suscep-
tible to rust with a light film of oil.
Lubricate controls with a corrosion
lubricant silicone based.
PRECAUtIONs
FOR stORAGE
If the pump is stored in the fuel tank
and the carburetor is important to
reduce the risk of ignition of the va-
pors. Pick a well-ventilated storage
area away from any flame producing
equipment (furnace, water heaters,
clothes dryers, etc.).
Also avoid places with electric mo-
tors or where power tools are used.
If possible, avoid storage areas with
high humidity as it favors the ap-
pearance of rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained,
keep the fuel valve closed to prevent
leakage.
Keep the pump on a level surface.
The slope may cause leakage of
fuel or oil.
With the engine cold, and the
exhaust system, the pump cover
to prevent accumulation of dirt.
Hot components can ignite or melt
some materials. Do not use plastic
as cover. A waterproof cover will
keep the hu,idity around the pump,
facilitating the rust and corrosion
formation.

Preparation storage
A preparation is essential for main-
taining proper pump functioning in
conditions of perfect. The following
steps will help you to prevent the
formation of rust and corrosion in
the pump as well as facilitate the
next pump start.
ClEANING
Wash the engine and the pump.
Wash the engine by hand (avoid
introducing water into the air filter
and exhaust). Avoid wetting the
controls and other places difficult to
dry (water stimulates the onset of
corrosion).
NOtE: Using a washing machine
hose or high pressure facilitates the
introduction of water into the filter
and the exhaust. The water in filter
or exhaust may eventually enter the
cylinder, causing engine damage.
Avoid wetting the engine if it is hot
it may cause engine damage. Let it
cool ½ hour before washing.
Dry all accessible surfaces.
Fill the pump chamber with clean
water, start the engine outdoors
and let it run until it reaches normal
operating temperature in order to
evaporate any water on the outside.
NOtE: dry operation will destroy
the seal of the pump. Make sure
that the pump chamber is filled with
water before starting the engine.
Stop the engine and let it cool
Cut the top off pump drain and flush
the pump with clean water. Wait un-
til the chamber is completely empty
and replace the drain cap.
After washing and drying of the
pump, and retouching the paint
cover the damaged areas suscep-
tible to rust with a light film of oil.
Lubricate controls with a corrosion
lubricant silicone based.

tRANsPORtAtION
If the pump has been in operation,
allow the engine to cool for 15 minutes
before putting the pump in the trans-
port vehicle. The heat generated by the
engine and exhaust system can burn
you and ignite some materials.
Keep the pump level during transport
to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Keep the fuel valve closed.
