6.1 General notes on maintenance
When performing maintenance work ensure strict compliance with
the respective safety instructions and particularly the safety regula-
tions mentioned in the corresponding section of these operating
and maintenance instructions.
Thorough maintenance of the machine guarantees far longer safe
functioning of the machine and prolongs the lifetime of important
components. The effort needed for this work is only little compared
with the problems that may arise when not observing this rule.
Always clean machine and engine thoroughly before starting
maintenance work.
For maintenance work stand the tamper on level ground and
secure it against tipping over.
Do not touch hot engine parts.
Generally perform maintenance work only with the engine
shut down and the spark plug socket disconnected.
ENVIRONMENT!
During maintenance work catch all oils and fuels and
do not let them seep into the ground or into the
sewage system. Dispose of oils and fuels environmen-
tally.
Keep used filters in a separate waste container and
dispose of environmentally.
The lifetime of the engine mainly depends on the purity of the fuel.
Keep fuel clean of any contamination and water.
When choosing the storage place for fuel make sure that
spilled fuel will not harm the environment.
Fresh fuel should not be stored for longer than 3 months, if no fuel
stabilizer has been added.
When storing for longer than 3 months:
Directly after buying fresh fuel add the correct amount of fuel
stabilizer to the fuel (follow the instructions of the manufac-
turer).
On engines both combustion air and fuel injection quantities are
thoroughly adapted to each other and determine power, tempera-
ture level and exhaust gas quality of the engine.
If your engine has to work permanently in "thin air" (at higher alti-
tudes) and under full load, you should consult our customer service
or the customer service of the engine manufacturer.
