If the machine is not to be used for a long period of time, it is advisable to take the following precautions:
• Empty the carburetor.
• Drain the engine of oil.
• Lubricate the cylinder by introducing a few drops of the same type of oil used for the engine through
the plug hole and turning the engine several times without starting it. If it is a Diesel engine, remove the
injector by unscrewing the two screws that hold it to the cylinder head and pour a little oil into the hole.
• Clean the engine and machine thoroughly.
• Protect the teeth of the bar with the front protection and check that the blade is not damaged.
• When restarting operations, check that all safety devices (engine stop, reverse gear/power take-off and
clutch lever stop) are working.
