D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condi-
tion. Regular maintenance is essential for safety and for maintaining performance levels.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may
reach a flame or a spark or a source of extreme heat.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust silencer, battery compartment and
fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Always empty the grass-catch-
er and do not leave garden rubbish containers inside a room.
5) Frequently check the stone-guard, the grass-catcher and the air intake grill for wear
and deterioration. Replace if damaged.
6) For reasons of safety, do not use equipment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to
be replaced and not repaired. Use genuine spare parts (the blade should always bear the
symbol ). Parts which are not of an equivalent quality can damage the equipment and
may adversely affect your safety.
7) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is
cool.
8) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.
9) Check the blade's balance after sharpening.
10) When the machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting deck.
11) The ignition key must never be left inserted in the machine, or where children or per-
sons not familiar to the machine may reach it. Before any maintenance or repair, remove
the ignition key.
E) TRANSPORTING
1) If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, lower the cutting deck, engage the
parking brake and fasten the machine securely with ropes, cables or chains to the hauling
device.
