Storage
m IMPORTANT! Never put the equipment into storage for longer than 30 days without carry-
ing out the following steps.
Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30 days, the equipment must be prepared
accordingly. Otherwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will evaporate and leave a
rubbery sediment. This can cause problems when starting up the equipment and may require
expensive repairs.
• Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any pressure that may have formed in the tank.
Carefully empty the tank.
• To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start the engine and let it run until the equipment stops.
• Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
• Remove the spark plug (see section 9 Change and clean the spark plug).
• Add one teaspoon of 4-stroke engine oil into the combustion chamber. Slowly pull the starter
cord several times to apply a layer of oil to all internal components. Fit the spark plug again.
Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and far away from possible ignition sources such as
an oven, a gas-fired hot water boiler, a gas-fired dryer, etc.
Putting the equipment back into operation
• Remove the spark plug (see section 9 Change and clean the spark plug).
• Quickly tug on the starter cord to remove excess oil from the combustion chamber.
• Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap is correct, or insert a new spark plug
with the correct electrode gap.
• Prepare the equipment for operation.
• Fill the tank with proper fuel.
• Check the oil level.
Transport
To transport the machine, empty the petrol tank as described in section 7.2.2 Draining Fuel.
Clean coarse dirt off the equipment with a brush or hand brush.
