9.4 Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
9.5 Storage
Please note: If you fail to follow these instructions correctly, deposits may form on the interior of
the
carburetor which may result in the engine being more
difficult to start or the machine suffering permanent
damage.
1. Carry out all the maintenance work.
2. Drain the fuel out of the tank (use a conventional plastic petrol pump from a DIY store for
this purpose).
3. When the fuel has been drained, start theengine.
4. Allow the engine to run at idling speed until it stops. This will clean the remainder of the fuel
out of the carburetor.
5. Leave the machine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
6. Remove the spark plug (see point 7.3).
7. 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.
8. Clean the exterior housing of the machine.
9. Store the machine in a cold, dry place where it is out of the reach of ignition sources and in-
flammable 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
1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter cable several times to clean the oil residue out of the combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug contacts or fit a new spark plug.
4. Fill the tank.
Transport
To transport the machine, first empty the petrol tank as described in section 2 in the section en-
titled "Storage". Clean coarse dirt off the machine with a brush or hand brush.
10. Disposal and recycling
The unit is supplied in packaging to prevent its being damaged in transit. This packaging is raw
material and can therefore be reused or can be returned to the raw material system.
The unit and its accessories are made of various types of material, such as metal and plas-
tic. Defective components must be disposed of as special waste. Ask your dealer or your local
