4.8 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If the tank has to be emptied (e.g.
immobilisation before the winter break),
the fuel tank must be emptied out of doors
only (empty the tank by running the
engine, for example).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Only store the machine with the spark plug
socket disconnected.
Store the machine in good operational
condition.
Allow the machine to cool down
completely before covering it.

4.9 Disposal

Waste products such as used engine oil or
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and
similar wearing parts can be harmful to
people, animals and the environment, and
must consequently be disposed of
properly.
