Storage; Disposal - Husqvarna 325S25 Operator's Manual

10. Maintenance
INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
WARNING
• Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plugs
with your bare hands immediately after stopping
the engine. The engine can become very hot when
in operation, and doing so could result in severe
burns.
• When checking the machine to make sure that
it is okay before using it, check the area around
the muffler and remove any wood chips or leaves
which have attached themselves to the brushcut-
ter. Failing to do so could cause the muffler to
become overheated and that in turn could cause
the engine to catch on fire. Always make sure that
the muffler is clean and free of wood chips, leaves,
and other waste before use.
• Check the intake air cooling vent and the area
around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25
hours of use for blockage. Note that it is neces-
sary to remove the upper cover and the lower
cover in order to be able to view the upper part of
the cylinder.
IMPORTANT
• If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the
intake air cooling vent or between the cylinder fins, it
may cause the engine to overheat, and that in turn may
cause mechanical failure on the part of the brushcutter.

11. Storage

WARNING
• When draining fuel, please be careful not to spill it. If
fuel is spilt, wipe off thoroughly. In addition, please be
sure to close the storage container cap tightly.
IMPORTANT
• If fuel is left in the engine for protracted periods, the
inside of the carburetor may become clogged and
cause engine malfunction (faulty starting and insuf-
ficient output).
• During storage, slightly loosen the cap of the chemi-
cal fluid tank. If screwed too tightly, the gasket may
become distorted.
On completion of all work procedures, when not planning
to use again for a protracted period please carry out the
following pre-storage care, to prevent trouble caused by
time-lapse changes.

12. Disposal

When disposing your machine, fuel or oil for the machine, be sure to allow your local regulations.
•
OIL
• After first 20 hours of use, replace the gear oil. After
that, replace it after every 100 hours of use (SAE40CC,
100cc).
GREASE
• Open the upper lid of the grease cup and check
the grease amount. Fill it up if it is decreasing. (#3)
(1)
1. Clean the chemical fluid tank and nozzle (see page 10).
2. Remove dirt from the sprayer, inspect it for any dam-
age or looseness, and, if any abnormality is found,
correct it thoroughly in preparation for the next time
you use the unit.
3. Drain the fuel tank.
4. Start the engine, and leave it in idling condition until all
the fuel inside the carburetor is spent and the engine
comes to a natural stop.
5. Remove the spark plug and put a few drops (1 to 2 cc)
of 2-cycle oil inside the engine. After pulling the starter
rope 2 or 3 times, return the spark plugs to their original
position and stop in compressed position.
6. After oiling the throttle lever and other metal parts with
anti-corrosive oil, cover the sprayer and store indoors
in a low-humidity location.
