4.3 STORAGE
To prepare and / or remove your skid or trailer (engine, axle assembly, trailer,

Hale Pump and Gearbox Assemblies
❑ Thoroughly drain water from the pump.
❑ After the flow from the drain has ceased, the engine should be started for
approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) revolutions so all water drains from the
impeller.
❑ Close the drain valve(s).
❑ Pour one quart of motor oil into the pump discharge, then start the engine
again for approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) revolutions.
❑ Thoroughly drain the oil from the drain cock at the volute bottom, then close
the drain cock.
❑ This coats the inside of the pump, delays rust formation, and tends to pre-
vent clearance rings from sticking due to corrosion.
