Fold open the securing clip of folding
retainer (1) and remove the folding
retainer. Remove plant protection
disc (2).
● Removing the hoes:
Fold open the securing clip of folding
retainer (3) and remove the folding
retainer. Remove the hoe assembly (4).

store safely – do not lose!
12.2 Cleaning the machine
Maintenance interval:
After each use
● Clean the entire machine thoroughly
after each use. Care of the machine will
protect it against damage and extend its
service life.
● 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.
Risk of injury!
Only work in a forward direction.
Beware of obstacles (e.g. stone
slabs of paths), which must not be
run over.
12. Maintenance
Risk of injury!
Carefully read the section "For your
