Stihl BG 55 Manual De Instrucciones página 11

Warning!
To reduce the risk of per -
sonal injury from fire and
explosion, never attempt
to vacuum hot or burning
substances (e.g. smol -
dering ashes, glowing
cigarettes)
or combustible fluids (e.g.
gasoline, paint thinners).
Warning!
Vacuuming unsuitable materials may
block the fanwheel. Switch off the unit
immediately. Then clear the blockage.
Warning!
Never vacuum solid objects such as
nails, steel shavings, tacks, rocks or
broken glass. These objects may be
struck by the fan wheel and flung away
at high speed and may cause injury to
the operator or bystander.

Catalytic Converter
Warning!
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a cata -
lytic converter, which is
designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical
process in the muffler. Due to this proc -
ess, the muffler does not cool down as
rapidly as conventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle or is shut off.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn inju -
ries, the following specific safety
precautions must be observed.
Warning!
Since a muffler with a catalytic converter
cools down less rapidly than conven -
tional mufflers, always set your power
tool down in the upright position and
never locate it where the muffler is near
dry brush, grass, wood chips or other
combustible materials while it is still hot.
Warning!
An improperly mounted or damaged cyl -
inder housing or a damaged / deformed
muffler shell may interfere with the cool -
ing process of the catalytic converter.
To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,
do not continue work with a damaged or
improperly mounted cylinder housing or
a damaged / deformed muffler shell.
Your catalytic converter is furnished with
screens designed to reduce the risk of
fire from the emission of hot particles.
Due to the heat from the catalytic
reaction, these screens will normally
stay clean and need no service or
maintenance. If you experience loss of
performance and you suspect a clogged
screen, have your muffler maintained by
a STIHL servicing dealer.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or
individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component which
has not been serviced or maintained
properly or if nonapproved replacement
parts were used, STIHL may deny
coverage.
Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section in this instruction manual.
Please refer to the maintenance chart in
this instruction manual.
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the fan is stopped before doing any
maintenance or repair work or cleaning
the power tool. Do not attempt any
maintenance or repair work not
described in this instruction manual.
Have such work performed by your
STIHL servicing dealer only.
