10 STORAGE
Empty the petrol tank. Start the engine and let it
run until it stops.
Replace the oil while the engine is still warm.
Unscrew the spark plug and pour a tablespoonful
of oil into the cylinder. Rotate the engine a few
turns to that the oil is distributed in the cylinder.
Install the spark plug.
Clean the entire machine. It is particularly
important to clean under the cutting deck. Touch
up paint damage to prevent rust.
Store the machine indoors in a dry place.
Machines with an electric starter:
Remove the battery. Store it well charged in a cool
place (between 0°C and +15°C).
At the correct storage temperature, the battery
should be maintenance-charged every four
months.
The battery acid is extremely corrosive
and can cause injuries and damage to
skin and clothing. Always use rubber
gloves and glasses (goggles) to protect
your eyes. Avoid inhaling any acid
vapour.
Do not incline the battery too much so
that the battery acid can run out onto
hands or clothing. If this should
happen, rinse with plenty of water.
11 SERVICE
Authorised service workshops carry out repairs
and guarantee service. They use original spare
parts.
Original spare parts are supplied by service
workshops and by many dealers.
We recommend that the machine be handed in to
an authorised service workshop for service,
maintenance and checking of the safety devices
once a year.

13 ENVIRONMENT
For environmental reasons, we recommend that
particular attention is given to the following
points:
• Always use a funnel and/or a petrol can with
overfill protection to avoid spillage when filling
with petrol.
• Do not fill the petrol tank right to the top.
• Do not fill too much engine and/or transmission
oil (see user instructions for the correct
amount).
• Collect up all oil during oil changes. Do not
spill any. Hand in the oil to a recycling station.
• Do not discard replaced oil filters with normal
rubbish. Hand them in to a recycling station.
• Do not discard replaced lead batteries with
normal rubbish. Hand in to a battery collection
point for recycling.
• Replace the silencer if it is broken. Always use
original spare parts when carrying out repairs.
• If the machine was originally equipped with a
catalytic converter and this is broken, a new
catalytic converter must be installed after
removing the old one.
• Always get a specialist to adjust the carburettor
if necessary.
• Clean the air filter according to the instructions
given (see user instructions).
The manufacturer reserves the right to make alter-
ations to the product without prior notification.
