WARNING :

SAFETY

Do not drain the fuel tank while the muffler is hot.

1.Drain the fuel tank and the carburetor into a suitable receptacle [1]:

a.Open the fuel cock [2].

b.Remove drain plug [3] to drain carburetor and fuel tank.

c.Then refit the drain plug.

d.Close the fuel cock.

2.Change the engine oil (see page 47).

3.Pull the starter slowly until a resistance is felt. This closes the valves and protects them from dust and corrosion.

4.Coat all surfaces liable to rust with a thin film of oil. Cover the mower and store it on a flat surface in a dry, dust-free place. Do not use a plastic cover since this retains dampness.

NOTE: If the mower is to be stored for a period of more than 3 months, remove the spark plug and pour 2 to 5 cc of clean engine oil into the cylinder; then pull the starter rope slowly two or three times to spread the oil. Do not leave the mower lying on its side over long periods. This may cause difficult starting and gear oil leaks.

SECURITE

B3 D2 D3 D4

Ne pas vidanger le réservoir d’essence alors que le pot d’échappement est chaud.

1.Vidanger le réservoir d’essence et le carburateur dans un récipient adéquat [1] :

a.Ouvrir le robinet d’essence [2].

b.Retirer la vis de vidange [3] pour vidanger le carburateur et le réservoir.

c.Revisser ensuite la vis.

d.Fermer le robinet d’essence.

2.Changer l’huile moteur (voir page 47).

3.Tirer le lanceur jusqu’à sentir une résistance. Cela permet de fermer les soupapes et de les protéger de la poussière et de la corrosion.

4.Enduire les surfaces qui sont susceptibles de rouiller d’un léger film d’huile. Recouvrir la tondeuse et la remiser sur un sol plan et dans un endroit sec, à l’abri de la poussière. Ne pas utiliser de bâche en plastique, qui retiendrait l’humidité.

NOTE : Si la tondeuse doit être remisée pendant une période de plus de 3 mois, retirer la bougie d’allumage et verser 2 à 5 cm3 d’huile moteur propre dans le cylindre, tirer ensuite doucement deux ou trois fois le lanceur, afin de bien répartir l’huile. Ne pas laisser la tondeuse couchée sur le côté pendant une longue période. Ceci peut être la cause d’un démarrage difficile du moteur et d’une fuite de l’huile de transmission.
