14. Storage (Important)
IMPORTANT!
If the brush cutter is stored for more than 4 weeks, it is recommended to drain all fuel from
the tank into an approved container. You can also let the engine run until the tank is
completely empty and the engine stops. Push several times on the primer to get the last
fuel out before machine is set for storage.
During storage over the vinter time, it is recommended also to empty the oil tank
completely.
Always store the brush cutter in a horizontal position (place it on a surface)!
Clean the trimmer for grass and dirt and store it in frost-free conditions out of the reach of
children. Observe all safety instructions concerning safe storage and handling of gasoline.
