replaced.
3 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.
