Maintenance; Important - Scheppach LB2500P Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

The machine may only be used at reasonable times
•
of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or late even-
ing when it will be a nuisance to other people. Per-
mitted times of use specified by local authorities
must be observed.
The machine must be run at the lowest possible
•
motor speed required to carry out the work.
Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush
•
before starting any blowing work.
Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface
•
a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
Use the full­length blower nozzle extension so that
•
the air current can work near to the ground.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and
•
blow the foreign objects safely away from them.
If the device makes abnormal noises or has unu-
•
sually high levels of vibration, it must be checked.
Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the
operator and damage the unit.
Never operate the appliance with defective guards
•
or shields, or without safetydevices, for example
debris collector in place
Do not expose the hot engine to flammable ma-
•
terials
The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios,
•
paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and borders.
Blower mode
• Select the blow function using the selector lever
on the side of the machine and switch on.
• Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground
and swing the machine from side to side, moving
forwards and direct the nozzle at the debris to be
cleared.
• Blow the debris into a convenient heap

9. Maintenance

Injury warning!
Always wear protective gloves when working on
or around the device.

Important!

Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before
carrying out any cleaning.
Never immerse the equipment in water or other liq-
uids in order to clean it.
Store the petrol multi garden tool in a safe and dry
place out of the reach of children.
Cleaning
• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine.
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use.
• Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
• If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth mois-
tened with soapy water.
• Regularly check the device before starting work.
• Never use water to clean or spray the device. Clean
the motor casing with a damp cloth and never use
detergents or solvents! This may damage the de-
vice's plastic parts. Dry the motor casing carefully
afterwards.
• Only use OEM parts for maintenance work. Using
parts other than original parts can cause damage
to the machine.
Change and clean the spark plug (Fig. 3)
Check the spark plug air gap at least once a year or
when the engine starts poorly.
The correct gap between ignition flag and ignition
contact is 0.25"/0.63 mm.
Wait until the engine has cooled down completely.
•
Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug, and
•
use the supplied spark plug wrench to remove the
spark plug by turning.
When the electrode is severely worn out or reveals
•
a strong incrustation, the spark plug must be re-
placed with an equivalent plug.
A strong incrustation of the spark plug can be
•
caused by: Amount of oil is too high in the gasoline
mix, poor oil quality, old gasoline mix, or plugged
up air filter.
Screw the spark plug by hand completely into the
•
thread. (Avoid jamming it)
Use the supplied spark plug wrench to tighten the
•
spark plug.
When using a torque wrench, the tightening torque
•
is 12-15 Nm.
Plug the spark plug socket correctly on the plug.
•
Clean the air filter(Fig. 4)
Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by sup-
plying too little air to the carburetor. Dust and pollen
plug up the pores of the filter made of foamed plastic.
Regular checks are therefore essential.
Unclip (A) the air filter cover (B) and remove the
•
sponge filter element (C).
To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace
•
the air filter cover.
Wash the filter element in warm soap water, rinse
•
and allow drying naturally.
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or
inflammable solvents.
In order not to shorten the service life of the engine,
a damaged air filter must be replaced at once.
Warning!
Never run the engine without the air filter ele-
ment installed.
FUEL FILTER
Inside the fuel tank there is a filter which prevents
impurities from entering the engine. The filter should
be replaced once a year by your Retailer.
Our machines have been designed to operate over a
long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper machine care and regular cleaning.
