Storing the cutter
If you intend to store the cutter for longer than 30 days, it must
be prepared accordingly; otherwise, the fuel still remaining in the
carburettor will evaporate and leave a rubbery sediment. This can
cause problems when starting up the machine 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 carburettor, start the engine and let it
run until the cutter stops.
Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
Remove the spark plug (see section Change and clean the spark
plug).
Add one teaspoon of 2-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 cutter in a dry place and far away from possible
ignition sources.
Putting the cutter back into operation
Remove the spark plug (see section 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 the relevant mixture of fuel and oil (see the
section Fuel and oil mixture).
Transport
To transport the machine, first empty the petrol tank.
Clean coarse dirt off the cutter with a brush or hand brush.
Always assemble the transport protection to all cutting tools.
To prevent damage and injuries, the cutter must be secured
against tipping over and slipping during transport in vehicles.
