Storage For Prolonged Periods Without Operation; Disposal; Description Of Symbols - Stihl RMA 2 RT Instruction Manual

Never use high-pressure cleaners and do
not clean the machine under running water
(e.g. using a garden hose).
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
These can damage plastics and metals,
impairing the safe operation of your STIHL
machine.
In order to prevent overheating and fire
hazards, keep the areas around the air
vents on the motor and the air ducts on the
bottom of the machine free from dirt (e. g.
grass, straw, moss, leaves or leaking
grease).
Maintenance operations:
Only maintenance operations described in
this instruction manual may be carried out.
Have all other work performed by a
specialist dealer.
If you do not have the necessary expertise
or auxiliary equipment, please always
contact a specialist dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
maintenance operations and repairs
performed exclusively by a STIHL
specialist dealer.
STIHL specialist dealers regularly attend
training courses and are provided with
technical information.
Only use tools, accessories or
attachments approved for this machine by
STIHL or technically identical parts.
Otherwise, there may be a risk of
accidents resulting in personal injury or
damage to the machine. If you have any
questions, please consult a specialist
dealer.
The characteristics of original STIHL tools,
accessories and spare parts are optimally
adapted to the machine and the user's
requirements. Genuine STIHL spare parts
can be recognised by the STIHL spare
parts number, by the STIHL lettering and,
0478 131 9939 A - EN
if present, by the STIHL spare parts
symbol. On smaller parts, only the symbol
may be present.
Always keep warning and information
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or
missing stickers must be replaced by new,
original plates from your STIHL specialist
dealer. If a component is replaced with a
new component, ensure that the new
component is provided with the same
stickers.
Regularly check that the mowing blade is
securely fastened and is not damaged or
worn.
Only perform work on the cutting unit when
wearing thick work gloves and exercising
extreme care.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws (in
particular the blade fastening screw) are
securely tightened so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition.
Check the entire machine for wear or
damage on a regular basis, particularly
before extended periods when the
machine is not in use (e.g. over winter).
For safety reasons, worn or damaged
parts must be replaced immediately to
ensure that the machine is always in a safe
operating condition.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
4.11 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Store the cooled machine, the battery and
the safety plug separately from each other
in a dry and locked room that is
inaccessible to children.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Store the machine in good operational
condition.

4.12 Disposal

Ensure that old machines (lawn mower,
battery, charger, accessories) are properly
disposed of. Render the lawn mower
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, ensure that you remove
the safety plug and the electric cable from
the switch to the motor.
Risk of injury due to the cutting tool!
Always store an old machine in a safe
place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the
machine and the cutting tool are kept out
of the reach of children.
Batteries must be disposed of separately
from the machine. Ensure that batteries
are discharged prior to disposal (e.g. by
running the motor) and that they are
disposed of safely and in an
environmentally friendly manner.
