Step 3.

Drain all petrol from the fuel tank and carburettor into an approved petrol container using a funnel

to avoid spilling.

a). With the fuel tap in the OFF position, remove the carburettor drain screw and drain

the carburettor.

b). Turn the fuel tap to the ON position and drain the petrol from the carburettor into a

suitable container.

c). After all the petrol has been drained, re-install the carburettor drain screw. Tighten securely.

d). Turn the fuel tap to the OFF position.

Step 4. Change the engine oil – use recommended SAE10W-30 grade oil.

Step 5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, and then re-install the

spark plug.

Cover the water pump to keep out dust and dirt.

7. TRANSPORTING and STORAGE

To prevent any fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the water pump should

be secured upright in its normal operating position with the engine switch OFF. Keep the pump

level and ensure the tank cap is tightly secured. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour may ignite.

Turn the fuel tap to the OFF position.

Before storing the water pump for an extended period:

•

To avoid severe burns or fire hazard, let the engine cool down before transporting or storing

indoors.

•

If you must transport the water pump in a vehicle, drain all fuel.

•

Tie down the water pump securely in an upright position while transporting.

•

Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

•

Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.

Before storing the water pump for an extended period:

Step 1. Ensure that the storage area is level and free of excessive dust and humidity.

Step 2. Clean inside pump. Due to sediment collecting and settling inside the pump, prior to shut

down, pump clean fresh water through the water pump. After flushing, remove the pump

drain plug and drain water from pump housing. Re-install drain plug securely.
