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 up-
per handle bar (2) can be folded
down (see small image). Release
the quick-release lever (21) and
fold down the handle bar so the
equipment takes up less space.
The Bowden cables (4) must not
be squashed when doing this.
Storage During Longer Breaks
from Operation
Non-observance of the storage
instructions may cause starting
problems or permanent damage
as a result of fuel residues in the
carburettor.
• Drain the fuel tank in a well-ventilated
location. To do this, open the petrol
drain screw ( 35) and drain the
petrol into a suitable container. Screw
back in the petrol drain screw.
• To drain the carburettor, start the en-
gine and allow it to run until it stops
because it runs out of fuel.
• Change the oil (see “changing the en-
gine oil “).
• Preserve the engine:
- Unscrew the spark plug ( 12)
(see “cleaning and maintenance“);
- Pour a tablespoon of engine oil
through the spark plug hole into the
engine compartment;
- Pull the starter cord ( 23) slowly
several times with the safety catch
( 3) pulled in order to distribute
the oil inside the engine;
- Screw the spark plug tight.
• Dispose of used oil and petrol resi-
dues in an ecofriendly manner (see
“disposal / 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
packaging 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 recy-
cled.
- 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 dust-
bin but rather compost it or spread it
under bushes and trees as a mulch
layer.
