9. Storage and transport

9.1 Storage
Important: Never put the equipment into sto-
rage for longer than 30 days without carrying out
the following steps.
Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer
than 30 days, it must be prepared accordingly.
Otherwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor
will evaporate and leave a rubbery sediment.
This can cause problems when starting up the
equipment and may require expensive repairs.
1. Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release
any pressure that may have formed in the
tank. Carefully empty the tank (6).
2. To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start
the engine and let it run until the equipment
stops.
3. Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Remove the spark plug (see 8.3).
5. Add one teaspoon of 2-stroke engine oil into
the combustion chamber. Slowly pull the star-
ter cord several times to apply a layer of oil
to all internal components. Fit the spark plug
again.
Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and
far away from possible ignition sources such as
an oven, a gas-fi red hot water boiler, a gas-fi red
dryer, etc.
Putting the equipment back into opera-
tion
1. Remove the spark plug (see 8.3).
2. Quickly tug on the starter line to remove ex-
cess oil from the combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug and check that the elec-
trode gap is correct, or insert a new spark
plug with the correct electrode gap.
4. Prepare the equipment for operation.
5. Fill the tank with the relevant mixture of fuel
and oil. See the section "Fuel and oil".

9.2 Transport
To transport the equipment, empty the petrol tank
as described in the section "Storage". Clean
coarse dirt off the equipment with a brush or hand
brush. Dismantle the steady grip and the long
hande as described in section 6.1.1 and 6.1.2.

10. Cleaning

Always switch off the equipment and pull out the
spark boot plug before carrying out any cleaning
work.
•
The equipment should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This applies
particularly to the cutting tool and the guard
hoods.
•
Keep the air vents and the motor housing free
of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down
with compressed air at low pressure.
•
It is easiest to remove dirt and grass immedia-
tely after mowing.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these may be aggressive
to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure
that no water can get into the interior of the
equipment.

11. Disposal and recycling

The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent
it from being damaged in transit. The raw materi-
als in this packaging can be reused or recycled.
The equipment and its accessories are made of
various types of material, such as metal and plas-
tic. Defective components must be disposed of as
special waste. Fuel and oil must be disposed of
only at special refuse collection centers. Ask your
dealer or your local council.
