Storing the machine for a lengthy period
Take the following measures if you intend to take the machine out of service
for a lengthy period (3-12 months):
Step
Activity
1
Drain the fuel tank until it is nearly empty and fill with FAME*-
free fuel. Operate the engine for a few minutes so that only
FAME-free fuel is still in the fuel system.
2
Change the engine oil and oil filter (see chapters
8.2.13 Changing the oil filter, page
).
3
Change the fuel filter (see chapter
).
4
Let the machine cool down.
5
Remove the battery in accordance with the machine operators
manual and store at ambient temperature. Comply with the local
regulations as well as the regulations of the battery manufac-
turer for the storage of batteries.
6
Close and seal all engine openings (air intake openings, air out-
let openings and the exhaust gas opening) so that no foreign
bodies can enter, but a small amount of air can still be ex-
changed. This avoids condensation.
7
After the machine has cooled down, cover it to protect it against
dust and store it in a dry and clean place.
*FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Ester
