•
Never start the machine:
- If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
- If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has
come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
- If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•
Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or open flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
•
When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
•
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
Empty the fuel tank and press the primer until all fuel
has been emptied. Remove the spark plug and drop a
spoon of 2-stroke oil in the cylinder. Turn over the
engine a few times and then put the spark plug back
in place.
•
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
•
Secure the machine during transport.
•
Store the machine in a dry, cool, well-aired and dust-
free location. Store the machine out of reach of
children.
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
!
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion
and inhaling fumes.
Adjusting the harness
WARNING! The harness must always be
!
worn when working with the machine.
Failure to do so means you will be unable
to manoeuvre safely and this can result
in injury to yourself or others.
A correctly adjusted harness and machine significantly
facilitates the work. Adjust the harness to give the best
working position.
