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.
