Storage and transportation
■ Store the tool in a safe location.
■ Store the tool and accessories in a safe location that is protected
against naked flames and sources of heat/sparks, such as gas-powered
water heaters, dryers, oil stoves or mobile heaters, etc.
■ Ensure that the protective guard
, the strimmer and the engine are
free of cutting residue during storage.
■ The plastic cover for the 3-tooth cutting blade
must be refitted for
transport and storage.
■ Always switch the tool off before performing any maintenance work
and remove the spark plug connector
.
Storing the tool
The tool must be prepared for storage if it is to be stored for longer than
30 days. Otherwise the residual fuel in the carburettor will evaporate and
leave a gooey sediment. This may make starting the tool more difficult and
result in expensive repair work.
1.) Remove the filler cap
to relieve any pressure in the petrol tank .
Carefully empty the petrol tank
.
2.) To remove all fuel from the carburettor, start the engine and let it run
until it stops.
3.) Allow the engine to cool for about 10 minutes.
4.) Remove the spark plug (see section "Spark plug maintenance").
5.) Add 1 teaspoon of 2-stroke oil to the combustion chamber. Pull the
starter pull cord
several times to wet all mechanical parts with oil.
Replace the spark plug.
NOTE
■
Store the tool in a dry place and away from possible ignition sourc-
es.
Start-up after storage
1.) Remove the spark plug (see section "Spark plug maintenance").
2.) Pull the starter pull cord
quickly in order to remove any excess oil
from the combustion chamber.
3.) Clean the spark plug and observe the correct electrode gap on the
spark plug.
4.) Fill the petrol tank
. See the section "Fuel and oil".
Transport
■ If you are planning on transporting the tool, empty the petrol tank
as
explained in the section "Storage".
