in paragraph 2.4. Strictly comply with these
instructions to avoid serious risks or hazards.
If you are not going to use the machine
for a period of more than 2-3 months, we
recommend you do a few things before putting
it away. This will make it easier when you
want to use the machine again and will also
prevent permanent damage to the engine.
Before putting the machine away:
1. Empty the fuel tank in the open air with
the engine switched off and cold.
2. Start the engine and run it idle until it
comes to a halt, so that it uses up all
the fuel that is left in the carburettor.
3. Wait for the engine to cool.
4. Remove the spark plug cap
(Fig. 12.H; Fig. 13.H)
5. Clean the machine thoroughly.
6. Check the machine for any
damage. If necessary, contact the
authorised assistance centre.
7. Store the machine:
– in a dry place
– protected from inclement weather
– with the blade guard fitted correctly
– in a place where children cannot get to it
– making sure that keys or tools used
for maintenance are removed.
When you wish to start using the
machine again, prepare it as indicated
in chapter "6. Using the machine" .

10. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT

Whenever the machine is to be
handled or transported, you must:
– turn off the engine;
– disconnect the spark plug cap
(Fig. 12.H; Fig. 13.H);
– wear heavy work gloves;
– when the cutting means has
halted, fit the blade guard;
– only hold the machine using the
handgrips and position the cutting
means in the opposite direction to
that used during operations.
• When using a vehicle to
transport the machine:
– position it so that it can cause
no danger to persons;
– fasten it firmly in place to avoid
it from tipping over, which may
cause damage or fuel spillage.
