Winter Storage - Long Stop - Etesia LKCGM Original User Manual

PREPARATION
• Carefully clean the machine and in particular the underneath of the
cutter housing.
• Clean the air filter.
• Empty the petrol tank and turn the engine over until all the fuel still
in the pipes and the carburettor is used.
This operation must be carried out outdoors (in the open air).
• Whilst the engine is still hot, empty the oil from the oil sump and
fill up again with new oil of the right viscosity.
• Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml of engine oil into the
cylinder. Pull gently on the starter until you feel a compression : the
valves are then closed and protected against corrosion.
• Store the mower in a clean, dry place, on planks or a sheet of metal.

STARTING UP AGAIN
• Unscrew the spark plug, clean it with petrol and leave it to dry.
• Pull several times on the starter to eliminate the excess oil in the
cylinder.
• Put back the dry spark plug.
• Check the oil level. Fill up with fuel.
• Start the engine.
Of course you may leave this seasonal maintenance work to your
ETESIA dealer if you wish. He will check that your mower is in good
condition...so that it starts first go the following spring.
