Storage and cleaning
Storage
Preparing storage for long periods is vital to avoid problems and
increase the useful life of the hedge trimmer.
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank. Depending
on the region and storage conditions, petrol can deteriorate and
oxidize, causing damages in the carburettor and fuel system,
difficult starts and clogging caused by particle accumulation.
Before storage proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fuel from the tank;
2. Start the engine until it stops due to lack of fuel;
3. Remove the spark plug and add 2-stroke engine oil (5-10 cl)
to the cylinder through the spark plug hole;
4. Place a clean cloth over the spark plug hole and pull the
starter handle to dispense the oil to the cylinder;
5. Pull the recoil starter slowly while feeling some resistance.
The piston rises and the intake and exhaust valves are closed.
Leaving the engine in this position will help protect against
internal corrosion;
6. Reinstall the spark plug.
Cleaning
The hedge trimmer must be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
Remove any waste accumulated in the blade. Careful handling
protects the equipment and extends its service life.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
The packaging is made up of recyclable materials, which
you can dispose on local recycling points.
Never dispose of combustion equipment in your
household waste!
Waste such as used oil, fuel, lubricant, filters and wearing parts
can harm humans, animals and the environment and as such
must be properly disposed of.
Make sure that the deactivated equipment is forwarded for
disposal in a technically correct way.
You can obtain information regarding the disposal of the hedge
trimmer through the person in charge for the recycling in your
city.
