Maintenance and Storage:

• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are tightened firmly and the equipment
is in safe working condition. Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained equipment.
• Do not keep the equipment with petrol
in the tank inside a building in which
petrol fumes could potentially come into
contact with open fire or sparks.
• Allow the engine to cool before placing
the equipment in enclosed spaces. Risk
of fire.
• To avoid the risk of fire, keep the en-
gine, exhaust and area around the fuel
tank free of grass, leaves or leaking
grease (oil).
• Check the grass catcher regularly for
wear or loss of function.
• For reasons of safety, replace worn or
damaged parts. Replace defective si-
lencers.
• If the fuel tank is to be drained, do this
outdoors.
• Handle your equipment with care. Keep
the tools sharp and clean to enable you
to work better and more safely. Follow
the maintenance directions.
• Do not attempt to repair the equipment
yourself unless you are trained to do so.
Any work not specified in these instruc-
tions is to be carried out only by cus-
tomer service centres authorised by us.
• Keep the equipment in a dry place and
out of reach of children. Machines are
dangerous if used by inexperienced
people.
