Protecting your machine

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Webb machine is essential to ensure it operates, safely, effi ciently and therefore reducing the environmental impact.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that their Webb machine is maintained at specifi c intervals. Any approved Webb service dealer can undertake a service, which are specialised in our products and will be aware of your particular machine and any technical updates which will save valuable time & money.
If you are using your machine in dry, dusty or high temperatures, you will need to service the machine more regularly.

Fuel (if applicable)

Due to ongoing eff orts by fuel companies to reduce emissions, unleaded petrol will oxidize & deteriorate in storage overtime, leaving residue from detergent components.
Fuel deterioration problems may occur when petrol is stored for over 30 days. If you are planning to store fuel for over 30 days, we recommend you add Handy Parts Sure-Start fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel after purchasing. Sure-Start cannot reconstitute stale fuel.

Storage

When storing your machine for an extended period, we do recommend that you follow the instructions of engine instruction manual.
Always store the fuel in a clean, approved and sealed container. If the container is steel, ensure it is not corroded. If the container is not fi lled to its recommended capacity, air can accelerate fuel deterioration.
Always store fuel away from direct sunlight, in a dark, cool environment.

Your servicing Webb approved dealer will stamp & date the below relevant sections, when the correct service actions have been completed.
PLEASE ENSURE THE SERVICE BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR THE DEALER, DURING SERVICE WORK.
