10 STORING THE APPLIANCE
Thoroughly clean the appliance after each use
and – if present – attach all covers. Store the ap-
pliance in a dry, lockable place out of the reach of
children.
If the appliance is not going to be used for more
than 2 – 3 months, the following work is neces-
sary to avoid any damage:
1. Empty the fuel tank:
■
Allow the engine to run until it stops itself.
Then there is no longer any petrol/oil mix-
ture in the fuel tank or carburettor and
deposits cannot form.
2. Cleaning the appliance:
■
Wipe the entire appliance and accessory
parts with a cleaning rag. Do not use pet-
rol or other solvents!
■
Remove any dirt from all appliance open-
ings (including cooling openings for the
engine).
3. Oiling the cylinder:
■
Allow the appliance to cool down com-
pletely.
■
Remove the spark plug connector and
unscrew the spark plug.
■
Drop a little oil into the spark plug open-
ing.
■
Slowly pull on the starter handle so the
piston moves and the oil is distributed in
the cylinder.
4. Set down the appliance on the transport
wheel and do not stored in a tilted position.
5. Store the appliance in a cool, dry place.
11 DISPOSAL
