If you fail to follow these instructions correctly, deposits may form on
the interior of the carburettor which may result in the engine being
more difficult to start or the machine suffering permanent damage.
• Carry out all the maintenance work.
• Drain the fuel out of the tank.
• When the fuel has been drained, start the engine.
• Allow the engine to run at idling speed until it stops. This will clean the remainder of
the fuel out of the carburettor.
• Leave the machine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
• Remove the spark plug.
• Place a teaspoon full of 2-stroke engine oil into the combustion chamber. Pull the
starter cable several times carefully to wet the internal components with the oil. Fit the
spark plug again.
• Clean the exterior housing of the machine.
• Store the machine in a cold, dry place where it is out of the reach of ignition sources
and inflammable substances.
Fertilizers and other chemical garden products often contain substances that accelerate
the rate of corrosion of metals. Do not store the machine on or near fertilizers or other
chemicals.
Restarting After Storage
• Remove the spark plug (page 25).
• Pull the starter cord several times to clean the oil residue out of the combustion
chamber.
• Clean the spark plug contacts or fit a new spark plug.
• Fill the tank. See the section entitled Fuel and oil.
• Complete steps 1-7 described under the point entitled Starting the engine from cold.
Transport
To transport the machine, first empty the petrol tank. Pump the primer to completely
remove fuel from the carburettor & empty excess from the tank.
Clean coarse dirt off the machine with a brush or hand brush.
Dismantle the split shaft as described (pg.16) if preferred.
