8. Maintenance, Care, Storage

After having pumped pesticides, lime paints or fertilisers, rinse the pump with lukewarm water (max. 35 °C). If necessary, add some soft cleansing agent (e.g. washing-up liquid). Remove residuals according to the waste disposal law.

If the turbine clogged due to contamination, it can be cleaned by removing the cover of the hydraulic casing 8. Unscrew all Allen screws 9 of the cover. When assembling the pump make sure that the seal 7 is not damaged and that the parts are assembled in the same order as they were disassembled.

Apart from the cover of the hydraulic casing 8, any other parts must only be disassembled by the GARDENA Service Centre.

Regular maintenance and adjust- ment is necessary to maintain the engine in good operating condition.

Caution! Stop the engine A and disconnect spark plug H before carrying out any maintenance jobs on the pump. If, in case of certain jobs the motor must run, take care that the area is well ventilated. Exhaust gas contain poisonous carbon monoxide.

Maintenance

Check the air filter each time before you use the pump, every three months or after 50 operat- ing hours and clean if necessary. Clean the spark plugs every

6 months or after every 100 oper- ating hours and correct the dis- tance between the electrodes.

Air Filter Service

A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburettor. To prevent malfunction of the carburettor, service the air filter regularly. When operating the pump in extremely dusty areas, the pump must be serviced more frequently.

Open the clamp I, remove the air filter cap J and take out the air filter insert. Wash the insert in a non-flammable solvent (for example washing-up liquid) and dry it. Soak the filter in clean engine oil and dry it. Replace the air filter insert and lid properly.

Never use petrol or sol- A vents with low flash point for cleaning the air filter insert. Danger of fire or explosion.

Never operate your pump without air filter. Otherwise the engine wear is much higher.

Spark Plug Service

Remove the spark plug with the supplied wrench.

To ensure trouble-free engine operation, the spark plug must be free from residues of combustion. The plug gap (distance between the electrodes) should be 0.6 to

0.7mm. If necessary, clean the spark plug and correct the dis- tance between the electrodes by carefully bending the electrodes. Reinstall the spark plug. Tighten it as far as it will go by hand.

A new spark plug should be tight- ened additionally with a wrench by a half turn to compress the washer. Old spark plugs are to. be tightened by 1/8 to 1/4 turn.

In case of replacement of the spark plug, we exclusively recommend the type BR 6 HS (NGK).

Transport/Storage

In order to transport the pump, keep the pump in horizontal position to avoid fuel spillage. Petrol vapour or spilt petrol may ignite.

Empty the tank and carburettor

if you are not intending to use the pump for longer periods of time (e.g. during the winter).
