Trash Pump Maintenance

Maintenance consists of keeping the trash pump clean. Store
the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. Cooling air slots in the trash pumps engine must not
become clogged with dirt, leaves or any other foreign
material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean trash pump's
engine. Water can enter engine fuel system and cause
problems.
Cleaning
Daily or before use, look around and underneath trash pump
for signs of oil or fuel leaks. Clean accumulated debris from
inside and outside trash pump. Keep linkage, spring and
other engine controls clean. Keep area around and behind
muffler free from any combustible debris. Use low pressure
air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air
slots and opening on trash pump. These openings must be
kept clean and unobstructed.
Trash pump parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of
overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
Remove silt and sludge buildup in pump body.
• Follow the instructions in After Each Use.
