2.5.7 Storage

Before any longer storage (e.g. at the end of the season) clean any dirt or plant remains from the cutter. Prevent all unauthorised persons from
accessing the cutter. Protect the cutter from wind but do not use airtight protection, which can cause higher corrosion.
 Check that the blades are intact and sharpen them (if damaged, exchange them).
We strongly recommend:
➢ Mothball the blades on the cutting disc.
➢ Remove all dirt and plant remains.
➢ Repair damaged places on colour parts.
➢ Empty petrol tank and carburettor (for further instructions see engine user manual).
➢ Carry out seasonal lubrication of the cutter according to Table 5.
➢ Check tyre pressure and fill the tyres to MAX level.

2.5.7.1 Machine washing and cleaning

 Follow local laws protecting water courses and other water resources from chemical contamination when cleaning the cutter.
 Never wash the engine with a stream of water! The electrical equipment of the engine might be damaged on starting the engine.
 Do not use pressure washers for cleaning the cutter.
