Winter Storage
Protect your semi-trash pump parts from freezing.
1. Apply all storage instructions from previous sections.
2. Make sure semi-trash pump hose is free of all water
before storing for winter.
3. In order to prevent the pump from freezing you will
need to insert RV antifreeze.
4. You will need approximately 6 ounces (177.4 ml) of
RV Antifreeze, a funnel, and approximately 12 in.
(30.5 cm) of garden hose or equivalent. See diagram
below.
5. Pour the antifreeze into the funnel, then pull on the
engine recoil starter to create suction in the pump
housing. Pull the recoil several times until antifreeze
comes out of the pump outlet. DO NOT START THE
ENGINE WHEN DOING THIS. Only pull the recoil
cord if the fuel valve and engine switch are in the
OFF position.
Semi-trash pump exhaust contains odorless and
colorless carbon monoxide gas.
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your
Semi-trash pump during periods of storage, the
following precautions should be followed:
– When storing the Semi-trash pump for short or
extended periods of time make sure that the
Engine Switch and the Fuel Valve are set in the
OFF position.
DANGER
