Storage
Empty the fuel tank before long periods of storage (over
the winter)
Only empty the fuel tank outdoors
Allow the engine to cool down before storage
1. Empty the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it idle until it stops.
3. Let the engine cool down.
4. Loosen the spark plug with a spark plug socket.
5. Pour a teaspoon of 2-stroke oil into the combustion
chamber. Pull the starter cord slowly several times to
distribute the oil in the interior of the engine.
6. Insert the spark plug again.
7. Thoroughly clean and service the device.
8. Store the device in a cool dry place.
Caution!
Do not store the machine in the vicinity of naked flames
or heat sources – Risk of fire and/or explosion!
Caution! Fire hazard!
Do not store fuelled machine in buildings where the
petrol fumes might come into contact with naked flames
or sparks!
Keep the area around the engine, exhaust, battery case
and fuel tank clear of grass cuttings, petrol and oil.
Carburettor adjustment
The carburettor is optimally adjusted at the factory.
Spark plug
(Fig. 9)
Spark plug gap = 0.635 mm [0.025"].
1. Tighten the spark plug with a torque of 12-15 Nm.
2. Push the spark plug connector onto the spark plug.
Sharpening the string cutter blade
1. Remove the cutting blade from the guard.
2. Clamp the cutting blade in a vice and sharpen it with
a flat file.
File in one direction only.
Adjusting the Bowden cables
The Bowden cables of your strimmer are factory-adjusted.
If the position of the “bike grip” handle is changed signifi-
cantly, this can cause the Bowden cable to stretch, result-
ing in malfunctioning of the throttle.
If the cutting head does not come to a standstill after the
strimmer has been started and the half throttle lock has
been released, the Bowden cable must be adjusted by
means of the adjusting screw (Fig. 10-
a
).
Correct functioning of the throttle is then assured once
again.
Caution!
Risk of injury from rotating cutting head!
Only adjust Bowden cables with the engine switched
off.
Only check the function with the strimmer lying down.
3. Pull the filter out of the tank with a wire hook.
4. Remove the filter with a twisting motion.
5. Exchange the filter.
