Before cleaning, allow the machine to
cool down completely, detach the spark
plug socket and wear long sleeves and
thick gloves during cleaning work on the
gearbox and hoes.
Cleaning position:
Fold out the transport chassis. (Ö 11.4)
Move the upper handlebar to the
uppermost position. (Ö 11.2)
Move the tiller onto firm and level
ground.
Tip the machine backwards until the
handlebar rests on the ground.
Notes on cleaning:
Remove the dirt and accumulated
deposits using a brush, a damp cloth or
a stick – do not use aggressive cleaning
agents. STIHL recommends the use of
a special cleaner (e.g. STIHL special
cleaner).
Never spray water onto the handlebar,
engine components, seals or bearing
points. This would result in expensive
repairs.
Engine:
Remove dirt from the cooling ribs, fan
wheel, area around the air filter,
exhaust, etc. to ensure that the engine
is adequately cooled.
Gearbox housing, chassis and hoes
can be cleaned using a water jet or
high-pressure cleaner.

12.4 Service intervals
Maintenance by the specialist dealer:
For private use, annually
Maintenance of the tiller should be
performed by a specialist dealer. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.

Before each use

instruction manual)
After each use
Clean the machine. (Ö 12.2)
12.5 Storage and periods of
inoperation (winter break)
Store the tiller in the normal position
(transport chassis folded out). For space-
saving storage, fold the handlebar
downwards as shown.
Store the machine in a dry, locked, dust-
free room. Make sure that it is out of the
reach of children.
Any faults must always be remedied prior
to storage. The machine must always be in
a safe operating condition. Keep all nuts,
pins and screws tightly fastened, replace
danger signs and warnings on the
machine that have become illegible and
check the entire machine for wear and
damage. Replace all worn and damaged
parts.
Also note the following points when storing
the machine for long periods (winter
break):
Clean all external parts of the machine
with care.
Empty the fuel tank and carburettor.
Thoroughly lubricate/grease all moving
parts.
Avoid damage to the machine!
Only place the tiller in the illustrated
position for short periods (cleaning
and maintenance operations).
Place the machine in the upright
position during storage.
Avoid damage to the machine!
When using a high-pressure
cleaner, maintain a distance of at
least 1 m and never direct the
water jet directly at bearing points,
drive shaft or seals – especially the
seal between the gearbox housing
and guard plate.
Avoid damage to the machine!
Always have the gearbox
maintained by a specialist dealer.
Danger of tipping over!
The tiller can tip over forwards if the
hoes are poorly positioned. For that
reason, always check that the tiller
is stable.
If necessary, turn the hoes slightly
to reduce the top-heaviness.
Alternatively support the tiller in the
area of the carrying handle during
storage.
