When Transporting The Device; Before Starting; When Starting; When Working - Solo 106 Gebrauchsanweisung

Gasoline is extremely flammable. Stay
clear of open flames and do not spill
any fuel.
Do not smoke at the work site and the
refueling site!
Always shut off the motor before refueling.
5.If the motor is still hot, you cannot refuel -
fire hazard!
6.Always open the fuel cap with caution, so
that existing excess pressure can be slowly
dissipated, and so that no fuel sprays out.
7.Fuels can contain solvent-like substances. Pre-
vent mineral products from coming into contact
with skin and eyes. Wear gloves when refueling.
Change and clean work clothes often.

11.If fuel has been spilled, then the device must
be cleaned immediately. If clothing is contami-
nated, then it must be changed immediately.
12.Always tighten the tank cap firmly. This
reduces the risk of the fuel cap becoming
loose due to motor vibration and fuel escapes.
13.Watch for leaks, Do not start or work if fuel
is escaping. Life-threatening hazard is present
through burning injury!
14.Only store fuel and oil in prescribed and
correctly labeled containers.

4.4 When transporting the device

Always turn off the motor when transporting
the device!
Never carry or transport the motor scythe with
the engine running.

readiness for operation.
Also check the ignition cable and spark plug
cap for perfect fit. Loose connections can
cause sparks which can ignite any expelled
fuel-air mixture - risk of fire.
The impeller and the blower casing must be
22
in a problem-free condition. Damage to the
blower casing can lead to an injury hazard
through escaping foreign objects.
