Cleaning, Transport And Storing - Garten Meister GM BFS 2T-52 Mode D'emploi

Cleaning

Clean the housing of the machine carefully with a cloth and a brush.
Do not use abrasives or aggressive chemicals to clean the unit.

Remove grass and residue from the spindle and the protective
hood. Remove grass residue immediately, otherwise the engine will
overheat due to excessive friction. Grass residue inside the protec-
tive hood may be very compact; use a suitable piece of wood or
plastic to remove them.

Do not use cleaning agents, solvents or spiky objects to clean the
machine.
Transport

Always turn the machine off when carrying or transporting it. Do not
carry or transport the machine with running engine!

Hint: For space-saving transport and storing, loosen the fastening
screws and fold down the biker handle.
Storing

Clean the machine carefully before storing and use oil to preserve it
against corrosion.

Store the machine in a dry place away from sunlight.

Before storing the machine for longer periods of time, empty the
fuel tank. Store fuel in a suitable container.
1. Pull the starter handle (8) in order to run fuel out of the carburettor.
Start the engine and run it until the engine comes to a standstill.
2. Push the Start/Stop switch (14) to the position "O".
3. Wait until the engine has cooled down completely. Remove the
spark plug and pour a teaspoon of fresh and clean two-stroke oil
into the cylinder. Place a clean cloth over the spark plug hole and
pull the starter handle (8) several times in order to evenly distribute
the oil.
4. Determine the position of the piston through the spark plug hole.
Slowly pull the starter handle until the piston is lifted up. Leave the
piston in this position.
5. Re-attach the spark plug but do not connect the spark plug cap.
