Storage - BG2800, BG5000, BG7000E 

 

Storage Preparation 

 
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine trouble-free and looking good. 
The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your engine’s function 
and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use it again. 

Cleaning  

 
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean 
all exterior surfaces, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a 
light film of oil. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Fuel 

 
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated gasoline will cause hard starting, 
and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates 
during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components 
serviced or replaced. 
 
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing 
functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, 
and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank 
promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel 
deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not 
fresh when you filled the fuel tank. 
 
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage 
preparation are not covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into 
the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air 
filter, and water that passes through the air filter or muffler can enter the 
cylinder, causing damage. 

Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel formulations 
may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in 
as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the carburetor and/or fuel system. 
Please check with your servicing dealer for local storage recommendations.
