9. STORAGE

If the machine is to be stored for long periods:
- Oil the blade to prevent rust (Fig. 5).
- Fit the blade cover (19, Fig. 2).
- Empy the fuel tank and put the cap back on.
- Store the brush cutter in a dry place, preferably
not in direct contact with the fl oor and away
from heat sources.
- Dispose of fuel according to the rules and
respecting the environment.
- To drain the tank, start the engine and wait
until the fuel is exhausted and the engine
stops (leaving fuel mixture in the carburettor
could damage the membranes).
- Thoroughly clean the air filter (B, Fig.19).
- The procedures for returning the machine to
service following winter storage are the same
as for starting up during everyday use (page
26-28).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Environmental protection should be a priority of
considerable importance when using the
machine, for the benefit of both social cohesion
and the environment in which we live.
- Try not to cause any disturbance to the
surrounding area.
- Scrupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of oils, petrol,
batteries, filters, deteriorated parts or any
elements which have a strong impact on the
environment. This waste must not be disposed
of as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centers
where the material will be recycled.
Demolition and disposal
When the machine reaches the end of its service
life, do not dispose of it into the environment;
instead take it to a waste disposal center.
Most materials used in the manufacture of the
machine are recyclable; all metals (steel,
aluminium, brass) can be delivered to a normal
recycling station. For information contact your
local waste recycling service. Waste disposal must
be carried out with respect for the environment,
avoiding soil, air and water pollution.
In all cases, applicable local legislation must
be complied with.
When the machine is scrapped also the CE mark
label must be destroyed together with this
manual.
