IV. Maintenance
and Storage
•
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition,
•
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
•
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deteriora-
tion.
Replace wom or damaged parts for safety.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors.
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
When machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended,
lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock
is used.
