Maintenance and care
14.5 Checking the spray medium flow rate
At the beginning of the spraying season, check
whether the equipment flow rate (l/min) still
corresponds to the „Guide values" table (see also
item „Maintenance schedule").
For this, fill the equipment up to the maximum
marker with water, start using the equipment and
spray for one minute exactly at maximum
operating pressure. Then measure the water
volume required to bring the water level back up to
the maximum marker.
The actual volume measured represents the flow
rate of the equipment in l/min at maximum
operating pressure.
It should not deviate by more than 10 % from
those listed in the „Guide values" table. Should the
actual value be too low, sediments inside the
metering body may be the cause. Clean the
corresponding parts and repeat the checking
procedure.
Should the actual value be too high, the metering
body may be worn or damaged. In that case,
replace the metering body with a new one (part
no.:13008).

14.6 Shutdown and storage
Clean the power tool after use.
Never use aggressive cleaning solutions or
those containing solvents to clean any part of the
engine. Never hose down the engine. For best
results, simply wipe down the entire engine with
a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Store the device in a dry, safe location inside a
building (garage, basement, ...). There must not be
any open fires or similar nearby. Ensure that the
device cannot be used by unauthorised persons,
especially children.
If not in use for more than four weeks, drain the
fuel tank in a well ventilated location before storing.
Start the engine with an empty fuel tank and drain
the carburettor until the engine stops. Oil residues
from the fuel mixture could otherwise clog the
carburettor jets and make it difficult to start the
device later.
