Transport and storage

IMPORTANT! The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the
machine during transport. Ensure you secure the machine
firmly to the transporting vehicle.
• The machine is heavy and can cause serious crush
injuries.
• Take extra care when loading it onto or off a vehicle or
trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine.
• To secure the machine on the trailer, two approved
tension belts and four wedge shaped wheel blocks should
be used.
- Engage the parking brake and tie the tension belts around
stable parts on the machine, e.g. frame or rear wagon.
- Secure the machine by tensioning the belts towards the
back and the front of the trailer respectively.
- Place the wheel blocks in front of and behind the rear
wheels.
• Check and observe local road traffic regulations before
transporting or driving the machine on roads.

Transport with engine off

The release control must be pulled out in order for the

Winter storage

At the end of the season, or if the machine is going to stand
idle for more than 30 days, it should immediately be made
ready for storage.
For transport and storage of fuel, see the section "Fuel
handling".
To prepare the machine for storage follow these instructions:
1 Carefully clean the machine, especially under the cutting
unit. Touch-up paint damage to avoid rust.
2 Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and
tighten loose screws and nuts.
3 Change the engine oil, and take care of the waste oil.
4 Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and run it until the
carburettor is emptied of fuel.
5 Remove the plugs and pour about a tablespoon of engine
oil into each cylinder. Pull round the engine to distribute
the oil and screw the plugs back on.
6 Grease all grease nipples, joints and axles.
7 Remove the battery. Clean it, charge it, and store it in a
cool place.
8 Store the machine in a clean and dry place and cover it
over for extra protection.
