11. Storage
Cleaning
• Keep handles free of oil, so you always have a secure hold.
• Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth
and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
m Important!
• Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before
carrying out any cleaning.
• Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids
in order to clean it.
• Store the petrol multi garden tool in a safe and dry
place out of the reach of children.
Storage
Important: Never put the equipment into storage for long-
er than 30 days without carrying out the following steps.
Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30
days, the equipment must be prepared accordingly. Oth-
erwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will evapo-
rate and leave a rubbery sediment. This can cause prob-
lems when starting up the equipment and may require
expensive repairs.
1 Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any pres-
sure that may have formed in the tank. Carefully empty
the tank. Only ever empty the tank outdoors or in
well-ventilated rooms.
Make sure not to spill fuel
or chain oil into the soil (environmental protec-
tion). Use a proper base.
2 To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start the engine
and let it run until the equipment stops.
3 Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4 Remove the spark plug (see section 10 Change and
clean the spark plug).
5 Add one teaspoon of 2-stroke engine oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Slowly pull the starter cord several
times to apply a layer of oil to all internal components.
Fit the spark plug again.
Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and far away
from possible ignition sources such as an oven, a gas-fi
red hot water boiler, a gas-fi red dryer, etc.
Putting the equipment back into operation
1 Remove the spark plug (see section 10 Change and
clean the spark plug).
2 Quickly tug on the starter cord to remove excess oil
from the combustion chamber.
3 Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap
is correct, or insert a new spark plug with the correct
electrode gap.
4 Prepare the equipment for operation.
5 Fill the tank with the relevant mixture of fuel and oil.
See the section „Fuel and oil".
