7.7 Decommissioning and storage
If the equipment is to be stored for longer than three months, carry out the following measures:
Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventilated location.
Start the engine with an empty fuel tank to drain the carburetter, until the engine stops.
Otherwise oil residues in the fuel mixture can clog the carburetter jets and make subsequent
starting difficult.
Clean the motorised equipment thoroughly (particularly the air inlet opening, the cylinder fins,
the air filter and the area around the fuel filler).
Store the equipment at a dry and secure location. Keep the equipment away from open flames
and similar.
Prevent unauthorised use - particularly by children.
