Check the equipment regularly,
especially before storing it (for
example, on winter) paying particular
attention to damages and signs of
wearing.
For safety reasons, replace immediately
the worn or damage parts, in a way the
machine is always in a safe condition of
operation.
Cleaning:
The machine must always be carefully
cleaned after each use.
Clean the engine by hand (avoid
introducing water on the air filter and
exhaust). Avoid wetting the control
devices and other accessories
difficult to dry (the water arouses 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 machine.
In a way to avoid fire hazards, the
cooling air openings, cooling fins and
exhaust shall be free of flammable
remains.
Maintenance:
Only maintenance works described in
this instruction manual may be carried
out; all other works must be performed
by an official distributor.
Use only VITO-approved tools for this
machine or technically identical parts.
Not doing so may result in personal
injuries or damages to the machine. In
case of doubt, you should contact an
official distributor.
For safety reasons, fuel conduction
components (hoses, tap, tank, tank’s
cover and connections) must be
checked regularly in a way to detect
damages and leaks. If necessary,
those must be replaced by an official
distributor.
Keep the warning and advising stickers
always clean and clear.
Keep all nuts and screws well tightened
in order to ensure a safe operation.
If any components or safety devices are
removed for maintenance works, they
must be repositioned immediately.
2.6 - STORAGE IN CASE OF
LONGER STOPPING PERIODS
Let the combustion engine cool down
before storing the equipment inside a
closed compartment. When operating,
the exhaust reaches very high
temperatures and remains hot for some
minutes after being turned off. Avoid
touching it while it’s hot.
Never store the machine with fuel on
the tank inside a building. Gasoline
steam may form and become highly
flammable.
Keep the machine inside a dry and well
ventilated place with the tank empty.
Avoid locations with high humidity to
prevent corrosion and rust.
Clean the equipment carefully
before storing it and ensure it is in an
operational state.
Make sure that the machine is protected
against misuse (for example, children).
