Fuel Safety; Adjusting The Harness; Transport And Storage - Poulan Pro PR48BT Manuel D'instructions

Fuel saf ety
• Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.
• Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refueling.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
• Avoid all skin contact with fuel. Fuel is a skin irritant
and may even cause skin changes.
• Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the
refuelling point before starting it.
• 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.
T ransport 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 gas 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.

Adjusting the harness

W ARNING! 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 har ness and machine significantly
facilitates the work. Adjust the harness to give the best
working position.
Tighten the side straps so that the pressure is evenly
distributed across the shoulders.
Lift the tabs of the sliding adjusters.
