Storage

Winter storage

At the end of the season, or if the machine is going to stand idle for more than 30 days, it should immediately be made ready for storage. 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. If alkylate petrol (Aspen) is used stabiliser is not necessary since this fuel is stable. However, one should avoid changing from standard to alkylate petrol since sensitive rubber parts can harden. 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, drying cabinets, etc. Exercise caution when handling fuel. It is highly inflammable, and careless use can cause serious injury and damage to property. 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 prepare the machine for storage follow these instructions:

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

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

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

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

5Remove the plugs and pour about a tablespoon of engine oil into each cylinder. Pull round the engine to distribute the oil and screw the plugs back on.

6Grease all grease nipples, joints and axles.

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

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

Guard

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

Service

Low season is the most suitable time to perform a service or overhaul of the machine in order to ensure high function safety during high season.

When ordering spare parts state your machine’s purchase year, model, type, and serial number.

Always use genuine parts.

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