GGP Italy SPA Brush Cutter STAR31 STAR55FP Instructions Manual

							LONG PERIODS OF DISUSE
If you are not going to use
the machine for a period of more than 2-3
months, we recommend you do a few things
before putting it away. This will make it easier
when you want to use the machine again and will
also prevent permanent damage to the engine.
•Storage
Before putting the machine away:
–Empty the fuel tank.
–Start the engine and run it idle until it comes to
a halt, so that it uses up all the fuel that is left
in the carburettor.
–Wait for the engine to cool down and remove
the spark plug
IMPORTANT
–Pour a teaspoon of fresh oil into the spark plug
hole.
–Pull the starter rope several times to deliver oil
to the cylinder.
–Replace the spark plug with the piston in the
dead end upper position (visible from the
spark plug slot when the piston is at maximum
stroke).
•Restarting work
When you wish to start using the machine again:
–Remove the spark plug.
–Pull the starter rope a few times to eliminate
excess oil.
–Check the spark plug as described in chapter
“Checking the spark plug”.
–Prepare the machine as indicated in the para-
graph entitled “Preparing for work”. 16
