Correct adjustment of the throttle cable 
is a preconditon for correct operation of 
the machine in all modes, from starting 
to full throttle.
It may be necessary to readjust the 
throttle cable after assembling the 
machine or after a prolonged period of 
operation.
– The throttle cable can checked and 
adjusted by the user: see 
"Inspection and Maintenance by 
User".
– The throttle cable can be checked 
and adjusted by your dealer. Have 
the machine repaired by your 
servicing dealer. STIHL 
recommends a STIHL servicing 
dealer. 
Use the Right Deflector
Deflector (1) is approved for mowing 
heads only and must therefore be 
mounted before fitting a mowing head.
Recommendation: Use mowing heads 
with a grass shield on the gearbox, see 
chapters on "Mounting the Deflector" / 
"Mounting the Grass Shield".
Deflector (2) is approved for grass 
cutting blades and brush knives only and 
must therefore be mounted before fitting 
a grass cutting blade or brush knife.
