Off Season Storage; Removal From Storage; Fuel Storage - Hecht 8514 Originalbetriebsanleitung

• Store the machine in a dry, clean and frost-protected place, out of reach of unauthorized persons.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use only original spare parts.
• If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust and corrosion.
• If there is gasoline in the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve in OFF position (if the machine is
equipped with it).
• Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
• With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to keep out dust. A hot engine
and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials.
• Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around
the engine, promoting rust and corrosion.
I
When storing care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or
Note:
silicone, coat the equipment, especially all metal parts and all moving parts.

OFF SEASON STORAGE

The following steps should be taken to prepare machine for storage.
1. Empty the petrol tank with a suction pump after the last working of the season.(2)
2. Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all remaining petrol and stalls.
3. Remove the spark plug. Through the thread in the cylinder head (through the hole
for the spark plug), pour an appropriate amount(3) of recommended engine oil into
the combustion chamber. Operate the starter to evenly distribute the oil in the combustion
chamber. Replace the spark plug.
4. Replace spark plug.
5. Replace engine oil.

WARNINGG!
Do not drain the petrol in closed rooms, in close proximity of open fire, etc. Do not
smokeG! Petrol fumes can cause explosion or fire.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check your engine as described in the BEFORE STARTING section of this manual.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline.

FUEL STORAGE

B
WARNINGG!
Fuel can only be stored in designated cans /containers. When stored in other cans /
containers, pollution or a petrol explosion may occur.
• Never store engine in vicinity of stoves, ovens, water heaters with pilot light, contingently
other devices which can produce sparks.
(2) If you store a petrol container for reuse, make sure it's not too old or decomposed. Petrol
oxidises and decomposes over time, this causes difficult starting and clogging.
(3) An appropriate amount means the amount dependent on the engine capacity. As a rough
guide, around 5% of its capacity. If you use oil to preserve the cylinder during preparation for
storage, the engine will smoke briefly when starting up. This is not a malfunction.
