  • Page 47: Filling The Tank

    Starting up Filling the tank Fuel mixture NOTICE: STRICTLY FOLLOW THE SAFETY INFORMATION! Fuels must be handled carefully and prudently. Only when the engine is turned off and has cooled down! Clean the filling area so that no dirt can get into the tank. Set the machine on its side on a flat base.

  • Page 48: Starting The Engine

    Starting up Starting the engine required This model is fitted with a semiautomatic decompression valve (1) to make starting easier. Press the rubber cover until you can feel it en- gage. This pushes in the decompression valve behind it. This in turn reduces the compression, so that it takes less force to pull the starter cord to accelerate the engine to its starting speed.
  • Page 49 Starting up Stand squarely and set the cut-off saw onto the ground so that the cut- ting attachment is freestanding. Move the protective hood (3) to the best position for the application at hand (see figure). Grab the handle (2). The protective hood (3) can be swivelled within the stopmounts in both arrow directions.
  • Page 50 Starting up Put your hand around the bow handle grip and hold it firmly while you press the cut-off saw against the ground. Place your left foot into the rear hand guard. Pull out the starter rope slowly until you feel resistance (the piston is located before the top dead center).

  • Page 53: Maintenance Work

    NOTE: For your safety, regular checks and maintenance must be carried out at a Wacker Neuson service station because many parts not discussed in this operator's manual are important safety devices and, like all parts, are also subject to wear.

  • Page 54: Replacing The V-Belt

    Maintenance work Replacing the V-belt Loosen the nuts (3). Loosen the tension screw (1) (counterclockwise) until you see the screw end (2) in the gap. Release the screw (detail X, only on BTS 1140L3) and remove it. Unscrew the nuts (3) and remove the cap (4). Unscrew the screws (5) and (7) and take off the side brace (6).

  • Page 55: Cleaning The Protective Hood

    Maintenance work Cleaning the protective hood NOTE: See chapter "Attaching the cutting blade" for information on assembling the cut- ting blade. With time, material deposits will form on the inside of the protective hood (particularly when wet cutting). Under certain circumstances, these deposits can hinder the free rotation of the cutting blade.
  • Page 56 Maintenance work Turn the cover lock (11) to the "unlocked " position and carefully re- move the filter cover (12). Two sealing rings (54/15) are located between the filter cover (12) and the hood (54/14). Loosen the screws (13) and take off the hood (14). Clean the sealing rings (15) using a small brush and check for signs of damage.

Air cleaner cartridge (all models) NOTICE: The air cleaner cartridge (2) filters the intake air through fine paper fil- ter lamella.

  • Page 60: Replacing The Spark Plug

    Maintenance work Replacing the spark plug NOTICE: Do not touch the spark plug or spark plug connector while the engine is running (high voltage). Carry out maintenance work only when the engine is off. Hot engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves! The spark plug must be replaced if the ceramic insulator is damaged, or if the spark plug electrodes are severely burned, very dirty or oily.

  • Page 61: Checking The Ignition Spark

    Maintenance work Checking the ignition spark Insert the combination wrench (9) between the hood and cylinder, as shown in the figure. NOTICE! Do not insert the wrench into the spark plug hole; just make contact with the cylinder (otherwise you may damage the engine). Press the unscrewed spark plug (10), with the spark plug terminal cap firmly attached, against the wrench using insulated pliers (away from the spark plug hole!).

  • Page 62: Replacing The Suction Head

    Maintenance work Replacing the suction head The felt filter (13) of the suction head can become clogged during op- eration. To ensure an unrestricted flow of fuel to the carburetor, the suction head should be replaced about every 3 months. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (12), pull the retainer out of the tank open- ing.
  • Page 63 Maintenance work Feed in new rope with a diameter of 4.0 mm (0.16") and a length of 1,000 mm (40"), as in the illustration (do not forget the disc (19)) and knot both ends. Pull the knot (20) into the rope drum (21). Notice: Neither the knot nor the end of rope should extend beyond the surface of the rope drum.

  • Page 64: Replacing The Return Spring

    Maintenance work NOTICE! Danger of injury! Hold the extended recoil starter handle se- curely. It will recoil quickly if you accidentally let go of the rope drum. Mount the air horn in reverse order (see Fig. 63). Make sure that the guide (25) is positioned in the receptacle (26) on the valve housing.

  • Page 65: Cutting Attachment In The Center/Outer Position

    Maintenance work Replacement return springs are delivered already under tension in the housing. CAUTION. The spring can snap out. A released spring can be reinserted as in the illustration (Make sure to note the rotation di- rection!) Apply a light coat of multipurpose grease to the new return spring (4) before you install it in the valve housing.

  • Page 66: Remounting The Cutting Attachment

    Maintenance work 8.11 Remounting the cutting attachment Loosen the nuts (5). Loosen the tension screw (3) (counterclockwise) until you see the screw end (4) in the gap. Release the screw (detail X, only on BTS 1140L3) and remove it. Unscrew the nuts (5) and remove the cover (6). Pry out the stop pin (8) with the combination wrench (9) far enough, as shown in the figure, so that you are able to turn the protective hood (11).
  • Page 67 Maintenance work NOTE: When the stop pin (8) has been pulled out, the rotary stop (7) is deactivated. This makes it possible to turn the protective hood (11) beyond the rotary stop (7). Unscrew the handle (10) and turn the protective hood (11), as shown in the figure.
