MUFFLER
WARNING – This muffler incorporates
a catalytic converter, needed in order
to ensure the engine complies with current
emissions standards. Never attempt to modify or
remove the catalytic converter: in doing so, you
will be breaking the law.
WARNING – Mufflers with catalytic
converters become very hot during
operation, and retain heat for a long time
after the engine has been stopped. This is the
case even with the engine idling. Contact can
burn the skin. Always remember the potential
fire risk!
CAUTION – If the muffler is damaged, it
must be replaced. If the muffler frequently
becomes blocked, this could be an indication
that the efficiency of the catalytic converter is
limited.
WARNING – Do not operate your machine
if the muffler is damaged, missing or
modified. Operating the machine with an
improperly maintained muffler will increase
the risk of fire and hearing loss.
WARNING! - Free the engine and silencer of
twigs, leaves and excess lubricant to prevent
the risk of fire (Fig. 23).
EXTRA MAINTANANCE ADVISABLE
It is advisable to inspect the machine by a
specialized technician at an authorized service
network at the end of season, if used intensively,
and every two years if with normal use.
WARNING! – Any maintenance operations
not specifically dealt with in this manual
must be carried out by an authorized service
center. To ensure that your hedgetrimmer
continues to function correctly, use only
ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Any unauthorized changes and/or
use of non-original replacement parts
may result in serious injury or death to the
operator or third parties.
TRANSPORTION
Carry the hedgetrimmer with the engine
stopped, blades to the rear and blades cover on
(Fig. 25).
WARNING - When transpor ting the
hedgetrimmer on a vehicle, ensure that it
is firmly and securely fastened using straps or
belts. The hedgetrimmer must be transported in
the horizontal position, also ensuring compliance
with applicable transport regulations for such
machines.
