EXTRA MAINTANANCE ADVISABLE
It is advisable to inspect the machine by a
specialized technician at an authorized service
network at the end of season, if used intensively,
and every two years if with normal use.
ATTENTION: All maintenance operations
not reported in this manual must be carried
out by an authorized Service Center. To ensure
steady and regular mist blower operation,
remember that parts must only be replaced with
ORIGINAL SPARES.
Any unauthorized changes and/or use of
non-original replacement parts may result in
serious injury or death to the operator or third
parties.
9. TRANSPORTATION
Only transport the mist blower with the engine
switched off.
WARNING - When transporting the machine
on a vehicle, ensure that it is firmly and securely
fastened using straps or belts. The machine must
be transported in the vertical position with an
empty tank, also ensuring compliance with
applicable transport regulations for such
machines.
Place the throwing pipe in vertical position;
fasten it to one of the shoulder strap by using the
hook (A, Fig.18A) present on the clamp of the tap
on the throwing pipe.

10. STORAGE

If the machine is to be stored for long periods:
· Drain the fuel from the tank.
· Start the engine and run it at low speed until it
runs out of fuel and stops.
· Clean the tank thoroughly.
· Clean the machine thoroughly and remove
any debris and dirt (encrusted dust, grass, etc.).
· Smear a thin film of oil on all metal parts to
prevent corrosion.
· Store the machine and its accessories in a cool,
dry place where it is not accessible by children,
well clear of unprotected heat sources and
corrosive substances such as garden chemical
products.
Before using the machine after a prolonged period
of disuse check all the seals and the carburettor;
we recommend having this procedure carried out
by an Authorized Service Centre.
CAUTION – Store the machine in a place
where it is protected from direct sunlight
entering through windows to avoid damage of
any of its plastic parts. Do not use leftover
mixture that is more than one month old,
otherwise the engine may be seriously damaged
and the warranty will be invalidated.

11. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Environmental protection should be a priority of
considerable importance when using the
machine, for the benefit of both social cohesion
and the environment in which we live.
- Try not to cause any disturbance to the
surrounding area.
- Scrupulously comply with local regulations and
provisions for the disposal of waste materials
after mowing.
- Scrupulously comply with local regulations and
provisions for the disposal of oils, petrol,
batteries, filters, deteriorated parts or any
elements which have a strong impact on the
environment. This waste must not be disposed
of as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centres
where the material will be recycled.
Demolition and disposal
When the machine reaches the end of its service
life, do not dispose of it into the environment;
instead take it to a waste disposal centre.
Most materials used in the manufacture of the
machine are recyclable; all metals (steel,
aluminium, brass) can be delivered to a normal
recycling station. For information contact your
local waste recycling service. Waste disposal must
be carried out with respect for the environment,
avoiding soil, air and water pollution.
In all cases, applicable local legislation must
be complied with.
When the machine is scrapped also the CE mark
label must be destroyed together with this
manual.
