N Squeeze up to 0.2 oz (5 g) grease into the gearbox. 241BA018 KN To help prolong the wear life of the starter rope, observe the following points: N Pull the starter rope only in the direction specified. N Do not pull the rope over the edge of the guide bushing. N Do not pull out the rope more than specified. N Do not allow the starter grip to snap back, guide it back into the housing slowly - see chapter on "Starting / Stopping the Engine."

For periods of 3 months or longer N Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventilated area. N Dispose of fuel properly in accordance with local environmental requirements. N Run the engine until the carburetor is dry - this helps prevent the carburetor diaphragms sticking together.

N Store the machine in a dry, high or locked location, out of the reach of children and other unauthorized persons. Do not completely fill the gearbox with grease.
