Before Commissioning; Assembly - Parkside PBK 4 B3 Consignes D'utilisation Et De Sécurité

8. Before commissioning

• Open the packaging and carefully remove the device.
• Remove the packaging material, as well as the packaging and trans-
port safety devices (if present).
• Check whether the scope of delivery is complete.
• Check the device and accessory parts for transport damage.
• If possible, keep the packaging until the expiry of the warranty period.
m DANGER
The device and the packaging are not children's toys! Do
not let children play with plastic bags, films or small parts!
There is a danger of choking or suffocating!
Before each commissioning, check the device for the following:
• Check the fuel system for leakage.
• Faultless condition and completeness of the guards and the cutting
device.
• Tight fit of all screw connections.
• Smooth running of all moving parts.
Fuel and oil
• Recommended fuels
- Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special 2-stroke engine
oil. Mix the fuel mixture as per the fuel mixing table.
- Do not use E10 fuel.
Attention:
Do not use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more than 90 days.
Attention:
Do not use 2-stroke oil that recommends a mixing ratio of 100:1. The
engine guarantee of the manufacturer becomes invalid in the event of
damage to the engine due to insufficient lubrication.
Attention:
Use only designated and approved vessels for the transport and storage
of fuel. Put the correct amount of petrol and 2-stroke oil into the enclosed
oil-petrol mixing bottle (36). Then shake the vessel well.
Never use oil for 4-stroke engines or water-cooled 2-stroke engines. This
can cause the spark plug to become fouled, the exhaust part to become
blocked or the piston ring to become stuck. Fuel mixtures that have not
been used for one month or longer can clog the carburettor or impair
engine operation. Put unused fuel in an airtight vessel and store it in a
dark, cool room.
Fuel mixing table
Mixing process: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil
Example:
1 l petrol: 0.025 l 2-stroke oil
5 l petrol: 0.125 l 2-stroke oil
Warning! Pay attention to the exhaust gases.
Always switch off the engine before refuelling.
Never add petrol to the device while the engine is running or it is hot.
There is a risk of fire!
Only fuel the unit outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms. Make sure that no
fuel gets into the soil (environmental protection). Use a suitable surface.
Only use bio chain oil.

9. Assembly

When assembling this machine, please follow the specified assembly
instructions.
9.1 Mounting the front handle (10) (Fig. 2)
Note:
The front handle (10) can be mounted in two different positions. Select
one of the two specified positioning holes (46) on the shaft of the motor
drive unit (1).
Mount the front handle (10) to the shaft of the motor drive unit (1):
• Remove the wing nut (45), the retaining clip (43) and the rubber ring
(42) from the pre-assembled handle (10).
• Place the rubber ring (42) on the shaft of the motor drive unit (1).
• Make sure that the recess of the rubber ring (42) corresponds to the
desired handle (10) positioning holes (46).
• Place the handle (10) on the rubber ring (42). Guide the pin (10a)
into the desired positioning hole (46). Make sure that the hood guard
on the handle (10) is mounted to the left (towards the user).
• Re-attach the retaining clip (43) to the handle (10) and close it by pull-
ing the retaining clip (43) over the threaded pin (44).
• Now refasten the retaining clip (43) with the wing nut (45).
9.2 Mounting the brush cutter / grass trimmer (12)
Attention!
If the brush cutter / grass trimmer (12) is mounted on the engine drive
unit (1), always pull off the spark plug connector (6) before checking
and making adjustments.
9.2.1 Mounting the brush cutter / grass trimmer shield (14)
(Fig. 3)
• Place the shield (14) onto the premounted screw (47) on the brush
cutter / grass trimmer (12).
• Tighten the premounted screws (47).
• For mounting the shield (14), use the Allen key size 5 (41).
m Warning!
Never use the brush cutter / grass trimmer without the shield (14) mount-
ed!
9.2.2 Fitting/removing the brush cutter (Fig. 4, 5)
The brush cutter / grass trimmer (12) attachment can be used as a brush
cutter with the cutting blade (15).
• Remove the nut (52), cover (51) and the external flange (50) from the
threaded mandrel (49).
• The internal flange (48) remains on the threaded mandrel (49).
• Place the cutting blade (15) on the internal flange (48). Note that
the direction of rotation of the cutting blade (15) must match with the
direction of the arrow on the shield (14).
• Then slide the external flange (50) and the cover (51) onto the thread-
ed mandrel (49).
• Fasten the cutting blade (15) with the nut (52).
• Pull the nut (52) firmly in place with the spark plug wrench (39). To do
this, hold the internal flange (48) using the Allen key (41) (see Fig. 5)
• Removal of the cutting blade (15) takes place in reverse order.
m Warning!
Please ensure that the trimmer is mounted correctly before use!
