2. Transportation and storage
2.1 Transportation for assembly
Incorrect handling can cause serious damage to the device!
You can pick up the device using the motor base plate (using noo-
ses) and move it.
Pay attention that the lifting point is not located in the centre of the
device.
Persons have to keep a safety distance during lifting operation.
Make sure that the lifting gear and the supporting construction is sui-
ted to carry the weight of the device.
Please also consider following points:
• All used lifting means must be in good order.
• The loading capacity must be suited to the weight of the load.
• Wrong movements can cause personal injury or serious dama-
ge to the device.
• Make sure nobody is in the vicinity of the hanging motor.
• When picking up the device vertically it is important to position
the lifting point exactly into the focal point. Additionally guide
rope should be used.
• It is forbidden to pick up the device outside in unsafe weather
conditions (i.e. strong wind, storms).
• Always put down the engine carefully onto an even surface that
suits the weight of the device.
2.2. Storage as new device
• If the device is not used instantly, the engine has to be stored
at a safe, clean, dry and vibration free location.
• If gasoline or motor oil were already filled into the motor, drain
them and clean the fuel tank if necessary.
• Should there be a starter battery included in your order (which
is not the default), please consider following points:
Make sure to disconnect the minus (-) pole first and the plus (+) pole
second. During assembly the plus (+) pole is connected first, the minus
(-) pole second.
When storing batteries without battery loader make sure the tempe-
rature of your storage room is at 20°c. Do not forget to charge the
battery every 3 months. The self-drain can significantly shorten your
battery's lifespan.
• The ball bearings does not have to be cared for when the de-
vice is in storage.
2.3. Storage after the device has been used
2.3.1. Downtime for up to 2 weeks
There are no specific precautions necessary for a downtime up to
2 weeks.
2.3.2. Downtime for up to 3 months
It is recommended to drain the float chamber or to use a suitable
gasoline replacement - see the explanation under 2.3.3.
Alternatively the fuel cock can be closed during the last usage. Let the
motor run until it stalls. Note whether this is possible/desirable with
the load attached to the motor.
2.3.3. Downtime for up to 6 months
• Clean the outside of the engine.
• Drain the float chamber or use a suitable gasoline replacement.
• Drain the fuel tank and clean it or use a suitable gasoline repla-
cement.
Gasoline is only durable for a certain amount of time. The flammable
substances evaporate quickly and the fuel might not be fit to be used.
That is why the carburator must be emptied by running the engine with
closed fuel-cock until it stalls or by draining the float chamber of the
carburator. The fuel tank must be drained as well. If you wish to do
so you can use also a special kind of gasoline replacement which is
storable for longer periods (e.g. ASPEN®, HUSQVARNA XP, ...)
2.3.4. Downtime for more than 6 months
• Do the earlier service instructed by the motor operation hour
maintenance chart (e.g. after 120 operation hours the 200 hour
service should be executed).
• Start the engine and let it get to operating temperature (about
5 minutes of running the engine).
• Stop the motor.
• Drain the lubricating oil using the drain plug.
• Drain carburator and fuel tank, clean the tank if necessary.
• Maybe disconnect the battery and take it out of the device. If
available, connect it to a battery loader.
Consider during disassembly the minus (-) pole is disconnected first
and the plus (+) pole second. During assembly the plus (+) pole is
connected first, the minus (-) pole second.
When storing batteries without battery loader make sure that the tem-
perature of your storage room is at +20°c. Do not forget to charge the
battery every 3 months. The self-drain can significantly shorten your
battery's lifespan.
• Clean the device and conserve it with oil mist.
• Keep the device as dry as possible. If this is not an option
remove air filter, exhaust pipe, starter and dynamo must be
protected from moisture (either by disassembling them or by
wrapping the device in shrinking foil).
To put the device back into operation follow the instructions for the
initial start-up.
