STORAGE

Winter storage

At the end of the season the machine should immediately be put in order for storage, also if it is going to stand idle for more than 30 days. Fuel which is left to stand for long periods (30 days or more) can leave tacky deposits which can block the carburettor and interfere with the engine.

Fuel stabiliser is an acceptable alternative to avoid tacky deposits during storage. Add stabiliser to the fuel in the tank or the storage container. Always use the mixing ratios indicated by the manufacturer. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabiliser so that it will reach the carburettor. Do not empty the fuel tank and carburettor if stabiliser has been added.

WARNING!

Never place an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas where petrol fumes can come into contact with naked flames, sparks or pilot flames in boilers, hot water heaters, or drying cabinets, etc. It is highly inflammable and negligent usage can cause severe person injury and material damage. Drain off the fuel in an approved container outdoors and well clear of naked flames. Never use petrol for cleaning purposes. Use degreasing agents and hot water instead.

To put the machine in order for storage, follow these instructions:

1.Carefully clean the machine, especially under the cutting unit. Touch-up paint damage to avoid rust.

2.Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and tighten loose screws and nuts.

3.Change the oil, and take care of the waste oil.

4.Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and run it until the carburettor is emptied of fuel.

5.Remove the spark plugs and pour about a tablespoon of engine oil in each cylinder. Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed and then refit the spark plugs.

6.Grease all grease nipples, joints and axles.

7.Remove the battery. Clean it, charge it, and store it in a cool place.

8.Store the machine in a clean and dry place and cover it over for extra protection.

Cover

There is a cover to protect your machine during storage or transport. Contact your dealer for a demonstration.

Service

When ordering spare parts, always state the purchase year, model, type, and serial number.

Always use genuine parts.

Annual inspection or trimming by an authorised service workshop is a good way of getting the best out of your machine the next season.
