5.6 STOPPING THE ENGINE AT
THE END OF OPERATION
1. Place the throttle on «SLOW».
2. Let the engine run at minimum
for at least 15-20 seconds.
3. Stop the engine following the
instructions contained in the
machine's Instructions Manual.
4. With a cold engine, take the cap off
the spark plug (fig. 4.A) and take out
the starter key (if applicable).
5. Remove any debris from the engine
and especially around the exhaust
silencer to reduce the risk of fire.

5.7 CLEANING AND STORAGE

• Do not spray with water or use pressure washer
wands to clean the exterior of the engine.
• Preferably use a compressed air gun
(max. 6 bars), thus preventing debris
and dust from penetrating inside.
• Store the lawnmower (and the engine)
in a dry place, sheltered from the
elements and sufficiently ventilated.
5.8 PROLONGED DOWNTIME
If the engine is not going to be used for more than
30 days (for example, at the end of the season),
it will be necessary to take a few precautions
so that it will start back up again accordingly.
• Empty the fuel tank, to avoid deposits from
forming inside, by unscrewing the cap
(fig. 5.A) of the fuel tank and collecting
all of the fuel in a suitable container. At
the end of this operation, remember to
screw the cap back on (fig. 5.A) tightly.
• Remove the spark plug and pour about 3 cl
of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole,
then, having blocked the hole with a rag, run
the starter motor briefly to turn the engine for
a few revs and distribute the oil over the inner
surface of the cylinder. Finally, replace the
spark plug without connecting the cable cap.
