m Attention! The transport bar (1) is used to recover
or tow a stuck machine. If towing with a tow rope is
not possible, use a tow bar. Always ensure that the
tow bar does not have any visible damage and can
withstand the resulting forces. Unlike belts, ropes or
chains, a tow bar can absorb and transmit both ten-
sile and compressive forces.
12.1 Transport
This machine can be transported in a vehicle or by
the transport device (E) depending on the conditions
of the place of use and the distance to be covered.
Allow the engine (10) to cool down before transporting
or loading to avoid burns and to prevent fire hazards.
Empty the fuel tank (5) completely (see section 12.7).
12.1.1 Transport device (E) (Fig. 20)
The transport device facilitates handling over short
distances. Only use the transport device (E) on a lev-
el and solid surface and for short distances. Remove
the transport device (E) again before first use.
1. Switch the engine (10) off before transporting (see
section 11.5).
2. Gently tilt the machine forward and push the
transport device (E) beneath the bracket.
3. Hold the transport device (E) by the foot.
4. Tilt the machine backwards on the axle.
5. Roll it forwards and backwards as required using
the guide bar (15).
6. Proceed in reverse order when setting down.
7. Carefully put the machine down and remove the
transport device (E).
12.1.2 Transporting in a vehicle (Fig. 1, 10, 20)
Always transport the machine in an upright position,
if possible. If there is no possibility to transport the
machine upright, then only in the position shown in
Fig. 11.
The air filter (3) must not point downwards. Oil may
get into the cylinder, combustion chamber or air filter
(3). This can cause starting difficulties.
1. Lift the machine into a vehicle. Please note that
the machine is too heavy to be lifted without me-
chanical help (i.e. lifting device).
2. Or use the transport device (E) and a loading
ramp in order to load the machine into the vehicle.
3. Secure the machine on the transport vehicle
against rolling, slipping or tipping over and also
lash down the machine. Also secure the machine
with a securing strap at the lifting point.
m ATTENTION!
After transport in a horizontal position, the machine
must be righted again to allow the oil to run back to
the engine (10). This process may take some time un-
til the normal oil level is restored.
12.2 Lifting the machine / transport by means of
a lifting device (Fig. 1)
Before lifting, make sure that the lifting device (crane
or hoist) is capable of carrying the machine weight
without danger. See type plate for weight of lifting de-
vice.
Please note that loading ramps must be stable and
able to bear the load.
1. Fasten the lifting gear to the central mounting, i.e.
the transport bar (1).
2. Lift the machine a small distance and make sure
that all connections are properly fastened.
3. You can now lift the machine as desired using the
lifting device.
m ATTENTION!
The machine is heavy and must not be lifted by a sin-
gle person. Always lift the machine with at least two
persons.
13. Storage
m DANGER!
Risk of fire and explosion!
Storing the machine near potential sources of ignition
can result in a fire or an explosion. This can lead to
severe burns or death.
- Eliminate possible sources of ignition, such as fur-
naces, hot water boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
If the machine is not stored properly, the engine can
be damaged.
- Store the machine protected against dirt, dust and
moisture.
13.1 Storage during extended breaks in operation:
If the machine will not be used for a period of more
than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare it for
storage.
1. Empty the fuel tank (5) completely (see section
12.7). Stored petrol containing ethanol or MTBE
becomes stale within 30 days. Stale petrol has a
high rubber content and can thus clog the carbu-
rettor and restrict the petrol supply.
2. Drain the engine oil from the engine (10) while it is
still warm. Top up with new oil. (See section 12.2.)
3. Use clean cloths to clean the machine. m Do not
use aggressive or oil-based cleaning agents
when cleaning the plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage plastics.
4. Store the machine in an upright position in a
clean, dry building with good ventilation.
