Vito Agro EKO VIRM52E, Instruction Manual

Page: 38 / 68

If petrol overflows, immediately clean any spilled fuel. The
combustion engine should only be started after the dirty
petrol surface has been cleaned. Any attempt at ignition
shall be avoided until the petrol vapours have volatilized
(dry with cloth).
If petrol has come into contact with the clothing, it must be
changed.
Carry the brush cutter only while the combustion engine is
not running. Before transport, switch off the combustion
engine and wait until the cutting attachments have
completely stopped.
Always carry the brush cutter when the engine is cold and
without fuel on the tank. This prevents fuel spillage during
transport.
During transport fix the brush cutter and fit the transport
blade guard.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual and
are not familiarized with how to operate the brush cutter
must not use it.
Check the leak tightness of the fuel system,
particularly visible parts such as tank, tank cap, fuel
hose, couplings and carburettor primer bulb. In the event
of leakage or damage, do not start the combustion engine
and have the backpack brush cutter serviced.
Pay attention to the area where you are going to use the
brush cutter and check for obstacles (rocks, tree stumps,
roots, ditches), objects (winding wires, metal pieces). If it is
not possible to remove objects or obstacles, mark them so
that the cutting attachments do not touch them.

▪

of the brush cutter and to ensure safety issues and good
