9. Storage and transport
9.1 Storage
Important:
Never put the equipment into storage for
longer than 30 days without carrying out the following
steps.
Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30
days, the equipment must be prepared accordingly.
Otherwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will
evaporate and leave a rubbery sediment. This can
cause problems when starting up the equipment and
may require expensive repairs.
1.
Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any
pressure that may have formed in the tank.
Carefully empty the tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the equipment
stops in order to remove any fuel from the
carburetor.
3. Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Remove the spark plug (8.3).
5. 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 equipment in a dry place and far
away from possible ignition sources such as an oven,
a gas-fired hot water boiler, a gas-fired dryer, etc.
Putting the equipment back into operation
1. Remove the spark plug (8.3).
2. Quickly tug on the starter cord to remove excess
oil from the combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode
gap is correct.
4. Prepare the equipment for operation.
5. Fill the tank with the relevant mixture of fuel and
oil. See the section entitled “Fuel and oil”.
9.2 Transport
To transport the equipment, empty the petrol tank as
described in the section entitled “Storage”. Clean
coarse dirt off the equipment with a brush or hand
brush. Dismantle the steady grip as described in
section 6.1.1.
10. Disposal and recycling
The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it
from being damaged in transit. The raw materials in
this packaging can be reused or recycled. The
equipment and its accessories are made of various
types of material, such as metal and plastic. Defective
components must be disposed of as special waste.
Ask your dealer or your local council.
