Scheppach DP4000 Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 29

• Start the engine carefully according to instructions
and with feet well away from the moving parts.
• Never leave the operating position when the engine
is running.
• Always hold the unit with both hands when oper-
ating. Keep a firm grip on the handlebars. Beware
that the machine may unexpectedly bounce up-
ward or jump forward if the machine should strike
buried obstacles such as large stones.
• Walk, never run with the machine.
• Do not overload the machine capacity. Drive at a
safe speed, adjusting the speed to the slope of the
land, the surface conditions of the road, and the
weight of the load.
• Use extreme caution when in reverse or pulling the
machine towards you.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert
for hidden hazards or traffic.
• On soft ground, drive at the first forward/reverse
gear. Do not rapidly accelerate, turn sharply or stop.
Safety informations service/ maintenance and
storage
1. Only original parts may be used for maintenance
and accessories.
2. Replace faulty silencers.
3. Before using, always visually inspect to see that
the tools are not worn or damaged. Replace worn
or damaged elements and bolts. Keep all nuts,
bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is
in safe working condition.
4. Regularly check for leakage or traces of abrasion
in the fuel system, such as porous pipes, loose or
missing clamps and damage to the tank or tank
cap. Before use all defects must be repaired.
5. Before checking or adjusting the machine or the
motor, the ignition plug and the ignition wire re-
spectively must be removed to prevent accidental
starting.
Storage
1. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank
inside a building where fumes can reach an open
flame or spark.
2. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any en-
closure.
3. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silenc-
er, battery compartment and petrol storage area
free of vegetative material and excessive grease.
Long term storage/hibernation
1. In case of long term storage drain out the com-
plete fuel. Fuels are chemical compounds which
change their properties during prolonged storage.
If the fuel tank has to be drained out this should
happen outdoors.
