5.3.11 Storage and inactivity for long periods
If the machine is likely to be unused for a long period (more
than 1 month), disconnect the cables from the battery and fol-
low the instructions in the engine manual.
Carefully remove any dry grass cut-
tings which may have collected around the engine or si-
lencer to prevent their catching fire the next time the
machine is used!
Empty the fuel tank by dis-
connecting the tube situated
at the inlet of the fuel filter (1)
and follow the instructions in
the engine booklet.
Put the machine away in a
dry, sheltered place and
preferably covered with a
cloth ( 9.5).
The battery must be kept in a cool and
dry place. Before a long storage period (more than 1 month),
always charge the battery, and then recharge before using
again (chapter 6).
The next time the machine is used, check that there are no
fuel leaks from the tubes, fuel cock or carburettor.
IMPORTANT
WARNING!
5.4 TRANSPORTING
If the machine is transported on a
truck or trailer, use ramps with suitable resistance, width
and length. Load the machine with the engine switched
off, without a driver and pushed by an adequate number
of people. During transport, close the fuel stopcock (if
fitted), lower the cutting deck, engage the parking brake
and fasten the machine securely with ropes or chains to
the hauling device.
