Exhaust pipe
Periodically inspect the spark arrester of the engine, which is a metal grid located in the
outlet of the muffler. A contaminated spark arrestor can adversely affect engine
performance and mowing quality. If contamination is detected, clean the spark arrester with
a brush.
Gearbox
At intervals indicated in the table of types of maintenance work, check for the presence of
lubricant in the gearbox. Remove the bolt located on the side of the gearbox (Fig. 30). If
necessary, add grease intended for gearboxes using a syringe or replace the grease by
contacting an authorised service centre.
Storage
The trimmer should be stored in a dry, dust-free place. During storage, the device must be protected from
precipitation. Do not expose the product to vapours of acids, alkalis, and other aggressive impurities. Store
at an ambient temperature from 1 to 35°C, ensuring relative air humidity is not more than 80% at
temperature 20°C. The device must not be accessible to children during storage.
In case of a break in use for more than 30 days, the following actions should be taken:
1.
Drain the fuel residue from the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine to remove residual fuel from the carburettor and fuel hoses.
3.
Clean the trimmer head, protective cover, and gearbox housing from grass residue.
4.
Unscrew the spark plug.
