Off Season Storage; Fuel Storage; Device-Specific Storage Instructions - Hecht 5564 SX Betriebsanleitung

1. Add gasoline stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
EN 2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that
treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.

OFF SEASON STORAGE

If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, gasoline will oxidize
and deteriorate. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the
fuel system. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have
DE
the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced. The fuel can not be in
the engine longer than 14 days. If you leave it there longer it can cause damages on the engine,
these damages are not covered in the warranty. The addition of a fuel stabilizer to gasoline can
extend the life of fuel.
The following steps should be taken to prepare machine for storage.
1. Empty the petrol tank with a suction pump after the last working of the season.
CAUTION! Do not drain the petrol in closed rooms, in close proximity of open fire,
etc. Do not smoke! Petrol fumes can cause explosion or fire.
2. Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all remaining petrol and stalls.
3. Remove the spark plug. Use an oilcan to fill approx. 20 ml recommended motor oil into
the combustion chamber. Operate the starter to evenly distribute the oil in the combustion
chamber. Replace the spark plug.
4. Replace spark plug.
5. Replace engine oil.
REMOVAL.FROM.STORAGE
Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS section of this manual.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep
a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes
and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting and clogging.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine will smoke briefly at
startup. This is normal.

FUEL STORAGE

• Store the gasoline only in special can, otherwise there is a risk of fuel contamination.
• Never store engine in vicinity of stoves, ovens, water heaters with pilot light, contingently other
devices which can produce sparks.
• If you use contaminated gasoline there is a risk of irregular engine running or its damage.
• Store minimum quantity of the fuel which you can use to 14 days. Do not use fuel older than
14 days.
