they are worn down to the limit value on
the underside of the machine or if they no
longer fully cover the housing.
14.13 Storage and periods of
inoperation (winter break)
Store the machine in a dry, locked, dust-
free place. Make sure that it is out of the
reach of children.
Any faults must be remedied prior to
storage. The machine must always be in a
safe operating condition.
Empty the fuel tank and carburettor prior to
storage (e.g. by running empty).
Also note the following points when storing
the machine for long periods (winter
break):
● Clean all external parts of the machine
with care.
● Thoroughly lubricate/grease all moving
parts.
● Unscrew the spark plug (see engine
instruction manual) and pour approx.
3 cm³ of engine oil into the engine via
the spark plug hole. Turn the engine
several times with the spark plug
removed (pull the recoil starter rope).
● Screw the spark plug back in (see
engine instruction manual).
● Perform an oil change (see engine
instruction manual).
RM 650 VE:
● Remove the battery and store
separately from the machine out of
reach of unauthorised persons in a dry,
dust-free and frost-free room.
● Charge the battery completely before
the start of the season. ( 9.5)
