Long-Term Storage - Husqvarna FS 3500 G Operator's Manual

Transport
WARNING! Always remove the cutting blade
before transporting the machine outside the
cutting area.
WARNING! When moving the saw up and
down ramps, with engine on, use extreme
caution. For steep ramps, always use a
winch. Never stand below the machine.
Stand only beside.
• To go down a ramp, drive the saw backwards slowly.
• To go up a ramp, drive the saw forward slowly.
Lifting the saw
• Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts,
which imply the risk of pinch injuries or other injuries.
• Always use the machine mounted lifting eye when lifting.
To transport by vehicle
• Secure the equipment during transportation in order to
avoid transport damage and accidents. Use the factory
installed tie down lugs on the saw, front and rear to
prevent movement during transport.
• Do not tow this saw with another vehicle as this may
damage drive components.
Storage
Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out of
reach of children and unauthorized persons.
• Stop the engine by turning the Engine start switch to the
STOP position.
• Put Forward/Reverse control lever into the Stop/Neutral
position.
For transport and storage of fuel and battery, see the section
