14. Transport

ATTENTION!

Keep the hot silencer away from your body. There is a risk of 
burns!

WARNING!

Unintended or unexpected start-up of the device can result in 
serious injuries.
After the engine has cooled down, remove the spark plug con-
nector from the spark plug (see chapter 13.2.2 Spark plug 
maintenance).

Allow the engine to cool down before transporting or loading 
to avoid burns and to prevent fire hazards.
When transporting over longer distances, drain the fuel tank 
completely (see 13.3.1 Draining the fuel-oil mixture).
Secure the device on the transport vehicle against rolling, slip-
ping or tipping over.

15. Storage

• Clean and maintain the device every time before storage 

(see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).

• Store the device in a safe, dry, frost-free, well-ventilated 

place protected from the weather and out of reach of chil-
dren.

• Outdoor storage is not advisable. Also secure the device 

from unauthorised access.

• Empty the fuel tank.

WARNING

Do not empty the fuel tank in enclosed areas, near fire or 
when smoking. Petrol fumes can cause explosions and fire.
• Start the engine and let it run until the remaining petrol is 

used up.

WARNING

Store the device in a dry location, far away from potential 
sources of ignition, such as furnaces, hot water boilers with 
gas, gas dryers, etc. - Fire hazard!

If you store the device for longer than 30 days, it must be 
prepared ahead of time. Otherwise, the remaining fuel in the 
carburettor will evaporate and leave a rubbery sediment be-
hind. This could make it difficult to start and result in expensive 
repair work.

1.  Slowly remove the fuel tank (22) cap (23) to release any 

pressure in the tank. 

2.  Carefully empty the fuel tank (22). Only empty the tank 

outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms. Make sure that no 
fuel gets into the soil (environmental protection). Use a 
suitable surface.

3.  Start the engine and let it run until it stops in order to 

remove the fuel from the carburettor.

4.  Allow the engine to cool down (approx. 5 minutes).
5.  Remove the spark plug connector cover (17).
6.  Remove the spark plug connector (30) from the spark 

plug. 

7.  Remove the spark plug.

8.  Add 1 teaspoon of clean 2-stroke oil through the spark 

plug bore hole and into the combustion chamber. 

9.  Pull the start pull cord (20) slowly several times to coat 

the internal components. 

10.  Re-insert the spark plug.

Recommissioning

1.  Remove the spark plug.
2.  Pull the start pull cord (20) quickly to remove excess oil 

from the combustion chamber.

3.  Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap
