General Storage Instructions
Do not store the equipment
with a full collection box. In
hot weather, the grass begins
to ferment when heat is gen-
erated. Risk of fire.
• Clean and service the equipment be-
fore storage.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing
the equipment in enclosed areas.
• Use suitable and authorised containers
for storing fuel.
• Keep the equipment in a dry place that
is protected from dust and out of reach
of children.
• Do not wrap the equipment in nylon
bags as damp and mould could form.
For space-saving storage the handle
rods can be collapsed twice.
Loosen the wing nuts (19/27) and
collapse the upper grip bar (2) and
the lower bars (5) downwards.
The Bowden cables (8) must not be
squashed when doing this.
Storage during the winter
break
Non-observance of the storage
instructions may cause starting
problems or permanent damage as
a result of fuel residues in the carbu-
rettor.
• Start the engine and allow it to run un-
til it stops due to running out of petrol.
• Change the oil (see “changing the en-
gine oil “).
• Preserve the engine:
- Unscrew the spark plug ( 16) (see
“cleaning and maintenance“);
- Pour a tablespoon of engine oil
through the spark plug hole into the
engine compartment;
- Pull the starter cord ( 25) slowly
several times with the safety catch
( 3) pulled in order to distribute
the oil inside the engine;
- Screw the spark plug ( 16) tight.
• Dispose of used oil and petrol residues
in an ecofriendly manner (see “dis-
posal / environmental protection“).
There is no need to drain the petrol
tank if a fuel stabiliser is added to
the petrol (see “replacement parts”
and Briggs & Stratton instruction
manual).
Disposal/Environmental
Protection
• Return the tool, accessories and pack-
aging to a recycling centre when you
have finished with them.
- Carefully drain the petrol and oil
tanks and take your equipment to
a recycling centre. The plastic and
metal parts that are used can be
separated by type and thus recycled.
- Take used oil and petrol residues to
a disposal point and do not pour
them into the sewer system or down
the drain.
- Ask our Service-Center for details.
• Defective units returned to us will be
disposed of for free.
• Do not throw cut grass in the dustbin
but rather compost it or spread it under
bushes and trees as a mulch layer.
