14.1 Storage during extended breaks in operation:
If the petrol motor hoe will not be used for a period of
more than 30 days, the following measures must be
taken to prepare your petrol motor hoe for storage.
1. Empty the fuel tank completely (see section 14.4).
Stored petrol containing ethanol or MTBE be-
comes stale within 30 days. Stale petrol has a high
rubber content and can thus clog the carburettor
and restrict the petrol supply.
2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops. This
ensures that no petrol remains in the carburettor.
This prevents deposits from forming in the carbu-
rettor and potentially damaging the engine.
3. Drain the engine oil from the engine while it is still
warm. Fill with new oil (see section 14.1.).
4. Allow the engine to cool down. Remove the spark
plug and fill 30 ml of good quality engine oil into the
cylinder. Pull the starter rope (22) slowly to distrib-
ute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
m ATTENTION! Remove the spark plug and drain
all the oil from the cylinder before restarting the
machine after storage.
5. Use a clean cloth to clean the outside of the petrol
motor hoe and remove any dirt from the ventilation
slots.
m ATTENTION! Do not use aggressive detergents
or mineral oil-based cleaning agents to clean plas-
tic parts. Chemicals can damage plastics.
6. Check for loosened or damaged parts. Repair
or replace damaged parts and tighten loosened
screws and nuts.
7. Remove the blades. Clean the blades and grease
them to prevent rusting. Refit the blades.
8. Lightly grease the wheel axles. Grease the throttle
cable and all visible moving parts. Do not disman-
tle the engine cover.
9. Store the petrol motor hoe in an upright position in
a clean, dry building with good ventilation.
m ATTENTION! Do not store the petrol motor hoe
whilst still filled with fuel in an unventilated place
where fuel vapours may come into contact with
sparks, signal lamps or other sources of ignition.
Use only approved fuel tanks.
