children. Only a functional device should be stored; rectify faults before storage.
Keep the tool out of the reach of children.
Do not store the device in direct sunlight, store it in a dark place or under low-light conditions.
Do not cover the device with nylon bags as it may get wet.
The equipment should be thoroughly cleaned at the end of the season and before winter storage. Clean the bag by removing
it, emptying and washing with neutral soap under warm water. After drying, attach the bag again.
For better storage, the suction pipe can be unfolded.
If the vacum cleaner is not in use, it should be stored clean, on a flat and dry surface. If the break in operation is longer than
3 months it is necessary to:
empty and clean the fuel tank,
dispose of fuel in accordance with applicable regulations,
thoroughly clean the device, especially the cylinder fins and air filter.
TRANSPORTATION
Preparation for transport
Turn off the vacuum cleaner before moving it.
Keep the vacuum cleaner away from your body.
For transport, the saw must be secured with transport belts, and if possible, transport the scythe folded in its original
packaging.
