replaced immediately to ensure that the
machine is always in a safe operating
condition.
Never alter the basic setting of the engine
or run at excessive engine speeds.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
4.9 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If the tank has to be emptied (e.g. to store
the machine before the winter break), this
should only be done out of doors (e.g. by
running the tank empty).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Only store the machine with the spark plug
socket disconnected.
RM 545 VE: Before storing the machine,
remove the battery and store it separately
from the machine as well as protected
from unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Store the machine in good operational
condition.
Allow the machine to cool down
completely before covering it.

4.10 Disposal

Waste products such as used engine oil or
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and
similar wearing parts can be harmful to
people, animals and the environment, and
must consequently be disposed of
properly.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, remove the ignition
lead, empty the fuel tank and drain the
engine oil in particular.
The battery must be disposed of
separately from the machine. Ensure that
batteries are disposed of safely and in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Risk of injury due to the mowing blade!
Always store an old lawn mower in a safe
place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the
machine and particularly the mowing blade
are kept out of the reach of children.
