TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

TRANSPORT
When transporting or carrying your brush
cutter, the engine must always be stopped
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 (U TYPE 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:
D1 D4
• Ensure that you use containers or drums
D8 D10
SAFETY
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.
• 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.
