Transport And Storage; Accessories - Honda UMS425E Owner's Manual

TRANSPORT AND
STORAGE
TRANSPORT
When transporting or carrying your grass trimmer, the engine
must always be stopped.
When carrying your grass trimmer, hold it by the transmission tube in
a balanced position.
If it is to be transported in a vehicle, make sure that it is properly
secured so it cannot move.
It must be positioned so that there is no risk of fuel leakage.
STORAGE
If the machine is not to be used for more than two months, the
following storage precautions should be taken:
- Drain the fuel tank and run the engine to empty the carburettor.
- Remove the spark plug and pour a few drops of oil (same quality as
that used in the engine) into the cylinder.
- Gently pull the recoil starter to distribute the oil in the cylinder and
on the piston. Then reinstall the spark plug.
- Clean the whole machine, paying special attention to plant residues
accumulated around the cutting attachment, in the engine cooling
fins and under the cowlings.
- Using a paint brush, apply a thin film of standard oil over the metal
cutting attachments to prevent corrosion.
- Store the machine in its packaging, in a cool dry place.
- If the machine is to be stored in a vertical position, place it with the
engine at the bottom so that it will not topple over.
USING THE AFTER A STORAGE PERIOD
1. Remove the spark plug, check that it is clean and that the
electrode gap is correct. Pull the starter several times.
2. We recommend that the spark plug be screwed down as far as
possible by hand until finger tight ; then use a plug spanner to
tighten it by an extra 1/8 or 1/4 turn.
3. Check the level and condition of the engine oil.
4. Fill the fuel tank and start the engine.
NOTE: If the cylinder has been coated with oil, the engine will smoke
on start-up. This is normal.

SAFETY
FUEL STORAGE
NOTE:
• Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage.
Old petrol will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that
clog the fuel system. If the petrol in your mower deteriorates during
storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system
components serviced or replaced.
• Ensure that you use containers
or drums specifically designed
for hydrocarbons [1]. This will
prevent polluting the fuel
through the dissolution of the
container walls, which will lead
to poor functioning of the
engine.
• Store the fuel in a dark place, in a
room at constant temperature (avoid garden sheds).
• The warranty does not cover a blocked carburetor or valves jammed
by old or polluted fuel.
• The quality of unleaded petrol alters very quickly (2 to 3 weeks in
some cases). Do not use fuel more than 1 month old. Store the
absolute minimum required for your monthly consumption.
