19 STORAGE
If the machine is to be stored for long periods:
• Drain and clean the fuel and oil tanks in a well-ventilated area.
CAUTION
To drain the carburetor, start the engine and wait for it to stop (leaving the
mixture in the carburetor could damage the membranes).
• Dispose of fuel and oil in accordance with the rules and respecting the environment.
• Follow all the maintenance operations described in this manual.
• Clean machine perfectly and grease metal parts.
• Remove the fuel from the tank and replace the cap.
• Thoroughly clean the cooling slots and air filter.
• Store the machine in a dry place, preferably not in direct contact with the ground and away
from heat sources.
• Store the machine out of the reach of children.
• The procedures for returning the machine to service following winter storage are the same
as for starting up during everyday use (see chapter 9 Starting).
20 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Environmental protection should be a priority of considerable importance when using the
machine, for the benefit of both social cohesion and the environment in which we live.
• Try not to cause any disturbance to the surrounding area.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of packaging, oils,
petrol, gasoline, batteries, filters, deteriorated parts or any elements which have a strong
impact on the environment. This waste must not be disposed of as normal waste, it must be
separated and taken to specified waste disposal centers where the material will be recycled.
20.1 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
When the machine reaches the end of its service life, do not dispose of it into the environment;
instead take it to a waste disposal center.
Most materials used in the manufacture of the machine are recyclable; all metals (steel,
aluminum, brass) can be delivered to a normal recycling station. For information, contact your
local waste recycling service. Waste disposal must be carried out with respect for the
environment, avoiding soil, air and water pollution.
In all cases, applicable local legislation must be complied with.
When the machine is scrapped the CE mark label must also be destroyed together with this
manual.
