III. LONG STORAGE PERIOD
If you forsee/expect to keep the machine in environ-
ments where there is danger of ice/frost or if you don’t
use it for more than 3 months, we suggest to get the
machine to intake an antifreeze before putting it away
(similar to that used for cars).
Furthermore, at start-up, small leaks may occur from
the pump; these will disappear after a few hours in op-
eration. Up to 10 drops a minute are acceptable; in case
of larger leaks contact an Authorised Service Centre.
