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.
Fold up device
For space-saving storage the grip rod can
be folded twice.
1. Remove the grass catcher (20).
2. Open the quick clamping cable
levers (21/25) on the bottom
handle (4) and the upper grip
handle (1).
3. Fold both handles down again.
The Bowden cable (5) must not
be jammed when you do this.
Storage during the winter
break
Non-observance of the storage
instructions may cause starting prob-
lems or permanent damage as a
result of fuel residues in the carburet-
tor.
• Start the engine and allow it to run until
it stops due to running out of petrol.
• Change the oil (see “changing the en-
gine oil “).
• Preserve the engine:
- Unscrew the spark plug ( 13) (see
“cleaning and maintenance“);
- Pour a tablespoon of engine oil
through the spark plug hole into the
engine compartment;
- Pull the starter cord ( 7) slowly sev-
eral times with the safety catch
( 2) pulled in order to distribute the
oil inside the engine;
- Screw the spark plug ( 13) tight.
• Dispose of used oil and petrol residues
in an ecofriendly manner (see “Dispos-
al/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 packag-
ing 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 dis-
posed 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.
