Storage For Prolonged Periods Without Operation; Disposal - Viking MB 650 VE Instruction Manual

Only use tools, accessories or
attachments approved for this machine by
VIKING 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 VIKING
tools, accessories and spare parts are
optimally adapted to the machine and the
user's requirements. Genuine VIKING
spare parts can be recognised by the
VIKING spare parts number, by the
VIKING lettering and, if present, by the
VIKING spare parts symbol. On smaller
parts, only the symbol may be present.
For safety reasons, fuel-carrying
components (fuel line, fuel cock, fuel tank,
tank cap, connections, etc.) must be
checked regularly for damage and leaks
and replaced by a technician if necessary
(VIKING recommends VIKING specialist
dealers).
Always keep warning and information
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or
missing stickers must be replaced by new,
original plates from your VIKING specialist
dealer. If a component is replaced with a
new component, ensure that the new
component is provided with the same
stickers.
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.
Replace damaged exhaust silencers and
guard plates.

Check the complete machine and the
grass catcher box 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.
Never alter the basic setting of the engine
or run at excessive engine speeds.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
5.9 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
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. to store
the machine before the winter break), this
should only be done out of doors (e.g. by
running the tank empty).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Store the machine on a suitable surface
and only standing on its wheels – secure it
against rolling away.
Only store the machine with the spark plug
socket disconnected.
MB 650 VE: Before storing the machine,
remove the battery and store it separately
from the machine as well as protected
from unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Store the machine in good operational
condition.
Allow the machine to cool down
completely before covering it.

5.10 Disposal

Waste products such as used engine oil or
fuel, used lubricants, filters and similar
wearing parts can be harmful to people,
animals and the environment, and must
therefore be disposed of properly.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products. VIKING
recommends VIKING specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, remove the ignition
lead, empty the fuel tank and drain the
engine oil in particular.
The battery must be disposed of
separately from the machine. Ensure that
batteries are disposed of safely and in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Risk of injury due to the mowing blade!
Always store an old lawn mower in a safe
place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the
machine and particularly the mowing blade
are kept out of the reach of children.
