4.4 MOVING THE UNIT-ENGINE NOT

bypass valve levers located on the pumps toward the

4.5 CLEANING AND STORAGE
IMPORTANT:
Never spray unit with water or store unit
outdoors to help prevent sealed bearing rust or
corrosion. Water can seep into sealed bearings and
reduce component life. Bearings are sealed against dirt
and debris only.
A unit that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before
work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover trouble
sources. Dirt and abrasive dust reduce the efficient
work life of parts and can lead to costly replacement.
WARNING:
ALWAYS block wheels and know
that jack stands or blocks used are stable,
strong, or secure and will hold the weight of
the unit during maintenance.
CAUTION:
WHEN OPENING ENGINE
COVER, USE CARE TO PROPERLY
ENGAGE PROP INTO SLOT. Be sure footing
is secure to accommodate weight shift of
hood when rotating to full service position.
