Solo 105 - 9.8 Shutdown and Storage

Operating and maintenance instructions
ENGLISH 15
Remove the assembled filter element (36) from the
filter retainer (37). Please note: Never separate
the filter element
Please note: Never separate the filter element. Clean
the filter more often in extreme dust conditions. For
daily cleaning jobs simply tap the filters against a
hard object or use compressed air. Damaged air
filters should be replaced immediately. Warranty
does not apply to engine damage caused by the lack
of or improper maintenance.
Insert the new or cleaned filter element in
accordance with Fig. 19 into the filter retainer. Then
close the filter cover and secure it by clicking it into
position.
Never insert moist or wet filter elements.
9.6 Replacing the fuel filter
We recommend having the fuel filter (40) changed
annually by a specialised service centre.
A trained mechanic can carefully remove the fuel
filter via a wire loop through the fuel tank filler.
Ensure that the thicker part of the fuel hose on the
tank wall is not drawn into the fuel tank.
9.7 Information about the silencer
Ensure the silencer is in perfect condition before
operating the machine. Never touch the silencer
while it is still hot.
Unsatisfactory engine performance, despite a clean
air filter and a correctly adjusted carburettor, may
well be due to a partially blocked or damaged
silencer. Please consult your specialist service centre.
9.8 Shutdown and storage
Preferably, store the equipment in a dry and secure
place with a full fuel tank. Open flames or similar
must not be nearby. Prevent unauthorised use –
particularly by children.
For stops longer than four weeks the following
steps should be carried out:
• Empty and clean the fuel tank at a well-ventilated
location.
• Start the engine with an empty fuel tank. Run the
engine until the carburettor is empty and the
engine stalls. Otherwise the carburettor nozzles
could become encrusted with residual fuel
mixture and make a subsequent start harder.
• Clean the power tool well (particularly the air
intake openings, the cylinder fins, the air filter
and the fuel filler area).
• Preferably, store the equipment in a dry and
secure place with a full fuel tank. Open flames or
similar must not be nearby. Prevent unauthorised
access – particularly by children.
