Storage
Preparing storage for long periods is vital to avoid problems
and increase the useful life of the scarifier.
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank.
Depending on the region and storage conditions, petrol can
deteriorate and oxidize, causing damages in the carburetor
and fuel system, difficult starts and clogging caused by
particle accumulation.
Before storage proceed as follows:
1. Empty the fuel tank;
2. Start the engine until it stops due to lack of fuel;
3. Remove the spark plug and add 2-stroke engine oil (5-
10 cl) to the cylinder through the spark plug hole;
4. Place a clean cloth over the spark plug hole and pull the
starter handle to dispense the oil to the cylinder;
5. Pull the recoil starter slowly while feeling some
resistance. The piston rises and the intake and exhaust
valves are closed. Leaving the engine in this position will
help protect against internal corrosion;
6. Reinstall the spark plug.
Cleaning
The scarifier must be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
Remove any waste accumulated in the blade. Careful
handling protects the equipment and extends its service
life.
The packaging is made up of recyclable materials,
which you can dispose on local recycling points.
Never dispose of combustion equipment in your
household waste!
Waste such as used oil, fuel, lubricant, filters and wearing
parts can harm humans, animals and the environment and
as such must be properly disposed of.
Make sure that the deactivated equipment is forwarded for
disposal in a technically correct way.
You can obtain information regarding the disposal of the
scarifier through the person in charge for the recycling in
your city.
