Storage For Prolonged Periods Without Operation - Viking MB 650 T Manual De Instrucciones

Direct contact with engine oil can be
dangerous. Engine oil must not be spilled.
VIKING recommends leaving the task of
topping up engine oil or performing engine
oil changes to a VIKING specialist dealer.
Cleaning:
The complete machine must be cleaned
thoroughly following use. (
Empty the fuel tank (e.g. by running it
empty) before placing the machine in the
cleaning position.
Remove accumulated clipping deposits
using a stick. Clean the underside of the
mower with water and a brush.
Never use high-pressure cleaners and do
not clean the machine under running water
(e.g. using a garden hose).
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
These can damage plastics and metals,
impairing the safe operation of your
VIKING machine.
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.
14.2)
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 (in
particular the blade fastening screw) are
securely tightened so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition.
Replace damaged exhaust silencers and
guard plates.
Check the complete machine and the
grass catcher box 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.
5.8 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
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. to store
the machine before the winter break), this
should only be done out of doors (e.g. by
running the tank empty).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Store the machine on a suitable surface
and only standing on its wheels – secure it
against rolling away.
Only store the machine with the spark plug
socket disconnected.
