Cleaning and washing
Regular cleaning, washing and lubrication will
increase the machine’s lifespan. Make it a habit to
clean the machine directly after use, before the dirt
sticks.
Check before rinsing that the fuel tank lid is properly
in place to avoid getting water in the tank.
Use caution when using high-pressure spray
because warning decals, instruction signs, bearings,
the chain and the engine can be damaged. Do not
exceed 70 bar/1000 PSI water pressure when
cleaning.
Lubricate the machine after cleaning. This is
particularly important if the machine is to be stored.
Two minute rule
The machine may be tipped forward to facilitate
access for cleaning or service, but no longer than 2
minutes.
If the machine is held in this position for too long,
the engine can be damaged by gasoline draining
into the crankcase. Should this happen, perform an
extra oil change on the engine. Remove the spark
plug and turn the engine over a few revolutions with
the starter handle before starting the engine again.
