Transportation and Storage
Always ensure that the machine is cool enough to touch before transporting or storing. Petrol/fuel/gasoline is
extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources. Always transport the machine
with the fuel tap and engine ON/OFF switch in the “OFF” position. Drain the fuel tank before transportation or
storage.
•
Drain the fuel system by allowing the engine to run until it stops.
•
Ensure the fuel tap, engine ON/OFF switch (or key switch, if applicable) are in the “OFF” position.
•
Avoid exposing the equipment to direct sunlight, particularly during transportation.
•
Ensure the equipment is secure and upright during transport.
•
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
Long Term Storage
Follow the normal procedures for storage, then:
•
Drain the fuel system. It is advised to have the fuel tank as empty as possible before draining.
01.
Unscrew (rotate left) the carburettor drain plug. Use a suitable container to catch the draining fuel, and allow the fuel to drain. Store
the drained fuel in a properly sealed container.
02.
Re-install (rotate right) the carburettor drain plug and tighten.
•
Remove the spark plug and put 30ml of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Re-install
the spark plug.
•
Cover the equipment to protect it from dirt and dust.
