Allow the engine to cool down before refilling the fuel tank.
Never refill containers in a vehicle, truck or trailer with synthetic upholstery. Always place containers on the floor away from
your vehicle when refilling. Where possible remove petrol driven equipment from the truck or trailer and refill it on the floor.
If this is not possible, this type of equipment must be refilled on the truck/trailer using a portable container rather than directly
from a pump.
Keep the nozzle against the edge of the fuel tank or container until you have completed the refill. Do not use any tools to
keep the nozzle open.
Check the fuel supply before starting the engine.
DO NOT refill the fuel tank in an enclosed space whilst the engine is running or hot.
Allow the engine to cool down for a few minutes before removing the fuel cap. DO NOT add too much fuel. Leave a space
of approximately 6 mm at the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
Replace and secure the fuel cap and clean off any spilt fuel before starting the engine.
Get changed immediately if you have spilt fuel on your clothing.
NEVER store fuel in an area where there is an open flame, e.g. a pilot light on a boiler.
ALWAYS siphon off fuel outdoors at a safe distance from ignition sources. Avoid electrical sparks. DO NOT disconnect the
spark plug lead when the engine is running.
Accidentally starting the engine could result in serious or fatal injuries. Unless specifically stated otherwise, ALWAYS switch
off the engine, wait until moving parts are motionless and components have cooled down, and disconnect the spark plug lead
before checking, maintaining, adjusting or repairing the machine.
Remove grass, leaves and other residue from the machine.
Keep the machine in good working order.
Where necessary clean and/or replace safety and instruction labels.
Observe the manufacturer’s safety instructions for the engine during maintenance operations.
Regularly check all fixings, particularly the fixing bolts on the brush head. Ensure that all fixings are secure.
Remove the fuel before tilting the machine. DO NOT tilt the machine if it is not specifically indicated that you should do
so.
USEFUL TOOLS
• Knife to cut open box.
• Ensure that the machine remains securely supported by all wheel chocks, jack supports and cabling during maintenance.

• Only use spare parts specifically designed for your machine. Consult your dealer for advice.
• Allow the engine to cool down before storing the machine in an enclosed area.
• ALWAYS clean the machine before storing it for any length of time. Consult the engine manual for storage instructions.
• DO NOT store the machine in a building containing ignition sources if there is still fuel in the tank.
• Only use accessories that are approved by the Greijmans Groep and are correctly installed.
• Regularly inspect auxiliary parts and replace worn or damaged components with spares recommended by the
manufacturer.
