Storage For Prolonged Periods Without Operation; Disposal - Viking GB 370 S Manual De Instrucciones

In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the
area around the air vents, cooling ribs and
the area of the exhaust free from
e.g. grass, straw, moss, leaves or
escaping grease.
Maintenance operations:
Only maintenance operations described in
this instruction manual may be carried out.
Have all other work performed by a
specialist dealer.
If you do not have the necessary expertise
or auxiliary equipment, please always
contact a specialist dealer.
VIKING recommends that you have
maintenance operations and repairs
performed exclusively by a VIKING
specialist dealer.
VIKING specialist dealers regularly attend
training courses and are provided with
technical information.
Only use tools, accessories or
attachments approved for this machine by
VIKING or technically identical parts.
Otherwise, there may be a risk of
accidents resulting in personal injury or
damage to the machine. If you have any
questions, please consult a specialist
dealer.
The characteristics of original VIKING
tools, accessories and spare parts are
optimally adapted to the machine and the
user's requirements. Genuine VIKING
spare parts can be recognised by the
VIKING spare parts number, by the
VIKING lettering and, if present, by the
VIKING spare parts symbol. On smaller
parts, only the symbol may be present.
For safety reasons, fuel-carrying
components (fuel line, fuel cock, fuel tank,
tank cap, connections, etc.) must be
checked regularly for damage and leaks

and replaced by a technician if necessary
(VIKING recommends VIKING specialist
dealers).
Always keep warning and information
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or
missing stickers must be replaced by new,
original plates from your VIKING specialist
dealer. If a component is replaced with a
new component, ensure that the new
component is provided with the same
stickers.
Only perform work on the cutting unit when
wearing thick work gloves and exercising
extreme care.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws,
especially all the cutting unit screws, are
securely tightened, so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition.
Check the entire machine for wear or
damage on a regular basis, particularly
before extended periods when the
machine is not in use (e.g. over winter).
For safety reasons, worn or damaged
parts must be replaced immediately to
ensure that the machine is always in a safe
operating condition.
Never alter the basic setting of the engine
or run at excessive engine speeds.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
4.8 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If the tank has to be emptied
(e.g. immobilisation before the winter
break), the fuel tank must be emptied out
of doors only (empty the tank by running
the engine out of doors, for example).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Only store the machine with the spark plug
socket disconnected.
Store the machine in good operational
condition.
Only transport the garden shredder with
the feed chute fitted.
Risk of injury due to exposed blades.

4.9 Disposal

Waste products such as used engine oil or
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and
similar wearing parts can be harmful to
people, animals and the environment, and
must consequently be disposed of
properly.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products. VIKING
recommends VIKING specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, remove the ignition
lead, empty the fuel tank and drain the
engine oil in particular.
