Two minute rule

The machine may be tipped backward or on its side to facilitate access for cleaning or service, but no longer than 2 minutes.

If the machine is held in this position for too long, the engine can be damaged by gasoline draining into the crankcase. Should this happen, perform an extra oil change on the engine. Remove the spark plug and turn the engine over a few revolutions with the starter handle before starting the engine again.

Cleaning and washing

Regular cleaning and washing will increase the machine’s lifespan. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use, before the dirt sticks.

Check before rinsing that the fuel tank lid is properly in place to avoid getting water in the tank.

Use caution when using high-pressure spray because warning decals, instruction signs and the engine can be damaged. Do not exceed 70 bar/ 1000 PSI water pressure when cleaning.

Lubricate the machine after cleaning. This is particularly important if the machine is to be stored.
