Environmental Protection; Disposal; Minimising Wear And Preventing Damage - Stihl MH 610 Instruction Manual

● Push or pull the tiller slowly (walking
pace).
On firm and level ground, push the
machine. On rough and uneven ground,
it is advisable to pull the machine.
Risk of injury!
Due to the heavy weight of the
machine, particular care must be
taken at steps, kerbs, sloping
ramps and other raised areas.
The user must always stand higher
than the machine, in order to avoid
being run over by the machine in
the case of loss of control – i.e.
push the machine down or pull the
machine up steps and slopes.
Where there are steps, carry the
tiller with the help of a second
person.
Install running wheels for greater
comfort during transport as well as
longer transport distances. This
makes it easier to pull or push the
tiller.
Lifting or carrying the tiller:
● Check that the upper handlebar is
seated securely.

14. Environmental protection

The machine, its packaging and
accessories are all produced
from recyclable materials and
must be disposed of
accordingly.
By disposing of materials separately and in
an environmentally-friendly manner,
valuable resources can be re-used. For
this reason, the machine should be
disposed of for recycling at the end of its
useful life.

14.1 Disposal

Waste products such as used oil (engine
oil, gearbox oil) and fuel must always be
disposed of properly.
Render the engine unusable prior to
disposal. In particular, remove the ignition
lead, empty the fuel tank and drain the
engine oil.
Risk of injury from the hoes!
Always store an old tiller in a safe place
prior to scrapping. Make sure that the
machine and the hoes are kept out of the
reach of children.
