Transporting the Unit
Turn off the engine before transporting
the unit over distances of more than
about 50 meters.
Carry your brushcutter in the normal
operating position: Powerhead on your
back, left hand on loop handle and right
hand on control handle, cutting tool
lowered to near ground level.
Cover metal cutting tool with the
transport guard to reduce risk of
accidental contact.
Transporting in a vehicle:
Properly
secure your unit to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage.
Fueling
Gasoline is an
extremely flammable
fuel.
Do not smoke or bring any
fire or flame near the fuel,
avoid spilling fuel.
Always
shut off the engine
before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your machine in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors only. Wipe off any
spilled fuel before starting and check for
leakage. Take care not to get fuel on
your clothing. If this happens, change
immediately.
Power tools come standard with either a
screw-type or bayonet-type fuel cap.
After fueling, tighten the
screw-type cap by hand
with as much force as
necessary.
Insert the fuel filler cap
with hinged grip (bayonet
type) correctly in the
opening, turn it clockwise
as far as stop and fold the
grip down.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.
To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal
burn injuries
, check for fuel leakage. If
fuel leakage is found, do not start or run
the engine until leak is fixed.
