Disposal And Recycling; Troubleshooting - Scheppach MTP470 Original Operating Instructions

Extraordinary maintenance
A specialist from the customer service department
should carry out a general inspection every two years
during normal use and at the end of the season in the
case of intensive use.
Unauthorized alterations or the use of non-original
accessories may lead to severe or even fatal accident
to the detriment of the user or third parties.
12. Storage
If the cultivator will not be used for a period longer than
30 days, follow the steps below to prepare your tiller for
storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing
ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days.
Stale fuel has a high plastic content and can clog the
carburetor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This
ensures no fuel is left in the carburetor. Run the en-
gine until it stops. This helps prevent plastic deposits
from forming inside the carburetor and possible en-
gine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the
engine. Refill with fresh oil of the grade recommend-
ed in the Engine Manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug
(14a) and put 30 ml of high quality motor oil into the
cylinder. Pull the start lever (13) slowly to distribute
the oil. Replace the spark plug (14a).
m ATTENTION! Remove the spark plug (18c) and drain
all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start
the unit after storage.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the tiller
and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.
m ATTENTION! Do not use strong detergents or petro-
leum based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chem-
icals can damage plastics.
6. Inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or
replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws,
nuts or bolts.
7. Remove the blades. Clean and apply oil to the tines
and tine shafts to prevent rusting. Mount the tines
onto the tine shafts.
8. Coat the wheel axles lightly with oil. Oil the throttle
cables and all visible moving parts. Do not remove
the engine cover.
9. Storage with steering folded in: Loosen the hexago-
nal screw (2d) and the clamping lever (2a), pull out
the steering bar (6) and place it on the machine.
10. Store your tiller in upright position in a clean, dry
building that has good ventilation.
m ATTENTION! Do not store tiller with fuel in a non-ven-
tilated area where fuel fumes may reach flame, sparks,
