and let the engine run at this speed for at least 2
minutes. This will allow the engine to cool-down.

where it will not get lost.
PUMP INSPECTION AFTER USE
It is recommended that the pump be inspected after each
use for damage or wear.

damage. Replace any worn or defective components
as specified in the maintenance section of this manual.
2. Open pump clean-out cover and remove any foreign
debris that may have accumulated.
3. Inspect all hoses, fittings and clamps. If defective
replace immediately.
4. Inspect impeller for wear or damage and measure
impeller clearance if it appears worn. Inspect interval
should be about every 1000 hours. This inspection
should be done when the pump is scheduled for
maintenance inspection.

PUMP STORAGE
For storage of the pump for over 30 days, the following is
required:
Drain the fuel tank completely.
Run the engine until the fuel in the injection system is
completely consumed.
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.
Remove the drain plug from the pump and drain out any
water from left in the housing.
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.
Cover suction and discharge ports with duct tape to
prevent any foreign matter from falling into pump.
Cover pump and engine with plastic covering or
equivalent and store in a clean, dry place.
