Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety.
Faulty or worn-out parts must always
be replaced and never repaired. Only
use original spare parts: the use of non-
original and/or incorrectly tted parts will
compromise the safety of the machine,
may cause accidents or personal injuries
for which the Manufacturer is under no
circumstance liable or responsible.

this should be done outdoors and
when the engine is cool.
• To reduce the risk of re, regularly check
the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
Storage

machine is stored in a building where
fuel vapours come in contact with the
open ame, sparks or heat sources.
• Let the engine cool down before
storing the machine indoors.
• Always refer to the instructions for use for
important details if the machine needs
to be stored for a long period of time
Transport

on a truck or trailer, use ramps with
suitable resistance, width and length.
• Load the machine with the engine
switched o and pushed by an
adequate number of people.
• During transport, close the fuel cock (if there
is one) and adequately secure the machine to
the means of transport using cables or chains.
2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benet to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to
the neighbourhood.
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, lters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste should not be
disposed of along with standard household
waste, but must be disposed of separately
