Checking/Sharpening/Replac-
ing the Blade
• Take off the spark plug ( 16) and
check the blade for wear and dam-
age.
• Always have a blunt blade resharp-
ened by a specialist workshop, as an
imbalance check can be carried out
there.
• Always have a specialist workshop
change a damaged or imbalanced
blade.
Incorrect installation can result
in serious injury.
Adjusting the Carburettor
The carburettor has been preset in the
factory for optimum performance. If read-
justments are required, have the adjust-
ments made by a specialist workshop.
Storage
General Storage Instructions
Do not store the equipment
with a full collection box. In hot
weather, the grass begins to fer-
ment when heat is generated.
Risk of fire.
• Clean and service the equipment be-
fore storage.
• Allow the engine to cool before stor-
ing the equipment in enclosed areas.
• Use suitable and authorised contain-
ers 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 up-
per handle bar (2) can be folded
down (see small image). Release
the quick-release lever (26) and
fold down the handle bar so the
equipment takes up less space.
The Bowden cables (9) 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.
• 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 “).
