TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

TRANSPORT

D1 D4

When transporting or carrying your brush cutter, the engine must always be stopped

SAFETY

D8 D10 and the transport guard must be installed on the cutting attachment.

When carrying your brush cutter, hold it by the transmission tube in a balanced position. If it is to be transported in a vehicle, make sure that it is properly secured so it cannot move. It must be positioned so that there is no risk of fuel leakage.

STORAGE

If the machine is not to be used for more than two months, the following storage precautions should be taken:

- Drain the fuel tank and run the engine to empty the carburettor.

- Remove the spark plug and pour a few drops of oil (same quality as that used in the engine) into the cylinder.

- Gently pull the recoil starter to distribute the oil in the cylinder and on the piston. Then reinstall the spark plug.

- Clean the whole machine, paying special attention to plant residues accumulated around the cutting attachment, in the engine cooling fins and under the cowlings.

- Using a paint brush, apply a thin film of standard oil over the metal cutting attachments to prevent corrosion.

- Store the machine in its packaging, in a cool dry place.

- If the machine is to be stored in a vertical position, place it with the engine at the bottom so that it will not topple over.

FOLDING THE HANDLE (TYPE UEET ONLY)

For easier storage, the handle on your brushcutter can be swivelled round. Proceed as described below.

CAUTION:

• Turn the handle the clockwise only.

• Never swivel the handle through more than a quarter of a turn.

• Do not unscrew the knob [1] by more than 6 turns.

USING THE AFTER A STORAGE PERIOD

1. Remove the spark plug, check that it is clean and that the electrode gap is correct. Pull the starter several times.

2. We recommend that the spark plug be screwed down as far as possible by hand until finger tight ; then use a plug spanner to tighten it by an extra 1/8 or 1/4 turn.

3. Check the level and condition of the engine oil.

4. Fill the fuel tank and start the engine.

NOTE:

If the cylinder has been coated with oil, the engine will smoke on start-up. This is normal.

FUEL STORAGE

NOTE:

• Ensure that you use containers or drums specifically designed for hydrocarbons [2].

This will prevent polluting the fuel through the dissolution of the container walls, which will lead to poor functioning of the engine.

• The warranty does not cover a blocked carburetor or valves jammed by old or polluted fuel.

[2]

• The quality of unleaded petrol alters very quickly (2 to 3 weeks in some cases). Do not use fuel more than 1 month old. Store the absolute minimum required for your monthly consumption.
