2.2 - fUELInG AnD HAnDLInG
Gasoline is toxic and highly
flammable! Keep it in
appropriate and homologated
containers. Never use bottles to remove
or storage service products, such as
fuel. Someone, particularly children,
may be mistakenly taken to drink them.
Always tighten the container cap.
Damaged covers must be replaced.
Keep gasoline away from sparks,
flames and any source of ignition. Do
not smoke nearby gasoline containers
or machines, or during the filling
process.
Fill and empty the fuel tank only
outdoors. The fuel provision must be
carried out before starting the engine
and with the machine placed on the
ground, in a level surface.
Before refuelling, turn off the engine
and allow it to cool down. Open the
cover carefully in order to dissipate the
existing overpressure inside the tank.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. The fuel
needs room to expand, therefore
never add fuel above the bottom
edge of the filler. Additionally, follow
the combustion engine instructions
described in this manual.
If gasoline overspills, clean up all
spilled gasoline immediately. The
combustion engine must only be
started after cleaning the dirty surface.
Any ignition attempt should be avoided
until gasoline vapours are evaporated
(dry with a cloth).
If gasoline comes into contact with
clothes, it must be changed.
2.3 - TRAnSPORT
Carry the unit only when the engine is
off. Before moving it, stop the engine
and wait for the cutting accessories
to stop completely.
Always transport the unit when the
engine is cold and without fuel.
This prevents gasoline leaks during
transport.
Always fasten the machine when
transporting it and install the disc
protection.
2.4 - BEfORE OPERATInG
Make sure that the machine is used only
by who is familiar with the instruction
manual.
Check fuel system tightness,
particularly visible parts such as
tank, tank cap, flexible hose
connections, and manual carburetor
fuel pump. In the event of leakage or
damage, do not start the combustion
engine and have the machine repaired
by an official dealer.
Pay attention to the area where the
device will be used and check for
obstacles (rocks, tree stumps, roots,
trenches, etc.), objects (coiled wires,
metal parts) or loose stones. Not being
possible to remove these objects or
obstacles, mark them so that they do
not come into contact with the cutting
accessories when using the machine.
Before starting:
. Carry out an inspection to ensure
that the unit is properly assembled and
that safety issues and performance are
being addressed;
. Check if the spark plug cap
(connector) is connected to the spark
plug;
. Check if the safety devices are in good
conditions and working properly. Never
use the equipment if the safety devices
are missing, damaged or worn;
. Check that the transportation strap
and fastening accessories are in good
condition and properly assembled;
. Replace damaged parts, as all other
worn ones.
. After mounting the accessories and
before using the device, you must run
a test in maximum speed at no load for
a certain time. Check for misalignments
in the moving parts or any other
condition that may affect the operation
of the unit. Check that all moving parts
rotate smoothly and without unusual
noises;
. Perform all the necessary adjustments
to the correct assembly of the machine
and if you have any questions or
problems, contact your VITO official
dealer;
. Observe the local regulations on the
hours when it is allowed to use tools
with a combustion engine and the
permitted noise level.
2.5 - WHILE OPERATInG
Keep third parties away from
the operating area - at least
15m away. Never work while animals or
people, particularly children, are at risk.
During the operation particles can be
projected at a high speed that can
cause injuries.
Keep the safety distance from objects
(vehicles and glasses) to avoid
property damage.
