10. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS (OFF SEASON)

10.1 PREPARATION FOR STORAGE

The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn mower for storage.
1. Empty the tank after the last mowing of the season.
a) Empty the petrol tank with a suction pump.
WARNING: 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.
b) Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all remaining petrol and stalls.
c) Remove the spark plug. Use an oilcan to fill approx. 20 ml oil into the combustion chamber.
Operate the starter to evenly distribute the oil in the combustion chamber. Replace the spark
plug.
2. Clean and grease the lawnmower carefully as described above under "Lubrication".
3. Slightly grease the blade to avoid corrosion.
4. Store the lawnmower in a dry, clean and frost-protected place, out of reach of unauthorized
persons.
CAUTION! The engine must have completely cooled down before storing the lawnmower.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or material storage take the
following measures:
- Care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the
equipment, especially cables and all moving parts.
- Be careful not to bend or kink cables.
- If the starter rope becomes disconnected from rope guide on handle, disconnect the spark
plug wire, depress the blade control lever and pull the starter rope out from engine slowly. Slip
the starter rope into the rope guide on handle.

10.2 TRANSPORT

Turn the engine off and allow the engine to cool down. Then disconnect the spark plug wire and empty
the fuel tank according to the instructions in the engine manual. Ensure not to bend or other damage
the blade when pushing the lawnmower over obstacles.
