Clean the engine by hand (avoid introducing water into the air
filter and exhaust). Avoid wetting the controls and other
equipment / accessories that are difficult to dry (water
stimulates the appearance of corrosion and rust);
Do not use aggressive cleaning products. These products may
damage plastics and metals, compromising the safe operation
of the hedge trimmer.
In order to avoid the risk of fire, the ventilation slots and the
exhaust must remain free of flammable waste.
Maintenance:
Only maintenance works described in this instruction manual
may be carried out; all other works must be performed by an
official dealer.
Only use accessories, oils or greases authorized by VITO. Not
doing so may result in personal injuries or damages to the hedge
trimmer. In case of doubt, you should contact an official dealer.
For safety reasons, the fuel conductive components (fuel hoses,
tank, tank cap and couplings) should be checked regularly for
damage and leaks. If necessary, they should be replaced by an
official dealer.
Keep warning and information stickers always clean and legible.
Keep all nuts and bolts well tightened in order to ensure a safe
operation.
If any components or safety devices are removed for
maintenance tasks, they must be repositioned immediately.
Long-term storage
Never store the hedge trimmer with petrol in the tank inside a
building. Petrol vapours may come into contact with flames or
sparks and ignite.
Store the hedge trimmer in a dry area with the fuel tank empty
and the fuel in a well-ventilated compartment. Avoid places
with high humidity to avoid the appearance of corrosion and
rust.
Clean the equipment thoroughly before storage, especially in
winter. Keep the device in a good operating condition.
Make sure the appliance is protected against misuse (for
example, by children).
Technical Assistance
Your hedge trimmer should only be serviced by the
manufacturer's internal service personnel, or other qualified
personnel, replacing any necessary parts with original parts
sourced directly from the manufacturer.
