11. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Environmental protection should be a priority of
considerable importance when using the
machine, for the benefit of both social cohesion
and the environment in which we live.
- Try not to cause any disturbance to the
surrounding area.
- Scrupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of waste
materials after mowing.
- Scrupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of oils, petrol,
batteries, filters, deteriorated parts or any
elements which have a strong impact on the
environment. This waste must not be
disposed of as normal waste, it must be
separated and taken to specified waste
disposal centres where the material will be
recycled.
Demolition and disposal
When the machine reaches the end of its service
life, do not dispose of it into the environment;
instead take it to a waste disposal centre.
Most materials used in the manufacture of the
machine are recyclable; all metals (steel,
aluminium, brass) can be delivered to a normal
recycling station. For information contact your
local waste recycling service. Waste disposal
must be carried out with respect for the
environment, avoiding soil, air and water
pollution.
In all cases, applicable local legislation must
be complied with.
WARNING: Weather conditions and
altitude may affect carburation.
EXTRA MAINTANANCE ADVISABLE
It is advisable to inspect the machine by a
specialized technician at an authorized service
network at the end of season, if used
intensively, and every two years if with normal
use.
ATTENTION: All maintenance operations
not reported in this manual must be carried
out by an authorized Service Center.
To ensure steady and regular brush cutter
operation, remember that parts must only be
replaced with
ORIGINAL SPARES.
Any unauthorized changes and/or use
of non-original replacement parts may result
in serious injury or death to the operator or
third parties.
10. STORAGE
If the machine is to be stored for long periods:
- Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well-ventilated
area. To drain the tank, start the engine and
wait until the fuel is exhausted and the engine
stops (leaving fuel mixture in the carburettor
could damage the membranes).
- The procedures for returning the machine to
service following winter storage are the same
as for starting up during everyday use (page 7).
- Follow all the maintenance regulations
previously described.
- Clean the brush cutter completely and lubricate
the metallic parts.
- Remove, clean and lubricate the blade to
prevent rusting.
- Empty the fuel tank and put the cap back on.
- Thoroughly clean the cooling slots and the air
filter (Fig. 16).
- Store the brush cutter in a dry place, preferably
not in direct contact with the floor and away
from heat sources.
