Choke And Primer - Solo 121 Instruction Manual

7.3 Choke and primer

Fig. 11
Adjust choke (1) as follows:
• With a cold engine, position choke lever (1)
down towards "Close"
• With a warm engine, position choke lever (1) up
towards "Open"
When first starting or if the fuel tank has been
completely drained and has been refilled, press
primer (2) several times (at least 5x) until the fuel is
visible in the plastic bulb.
7.4 Starting
Observe the safety instructions when starting.
Note: Your new brushcutter is, as standard, fitted
with the "Easy-Start-System". This enables the
engine to be started without major effort. By
pulling on the starter cord – perhaps several times –
a spring box is loaded inside the starter. For this,
you do not need to pull quickly. The engine will
start automatically, as soon as sufficient tension has
accumulated. This may also happen when the starter
cord returns to its rest position.

D Lay the brushcutter level and without obstructions
on the ground.
During starting, never stand or kneel on the shaft
tube, otherwise the shaft or the tube might be
damaged.
Take up a safe position, securely hold the machine
.
.
and ensure that the cutter does not touch any
objects or the ground.
If the engine is cold:
With the choke lever down ( ), pull the starter cord
several times in a straight line, until you can hear
the engine firing.
Immediately afterwards, move the choke lever up
( ). Continue starting until the engine turns over.
If the engine is warm:
With the choke lever up ( ), start until the engine
turns over.
Please note: Never pull the starter cord out at an
angle and do not pull all the way out, otherwise
there is a risk that the cord might break! Do not let
the starter cord snatch back!
Once the engine runs, briefly pull the throttle back
to release the half throttle detent. Release the
throttle lever again to allow the engine to run at
idle speed. Now you can commence working.
7.5 Engine will not start:
If the engine fails to start after several attempts,
check whether all adjustments described above have
been correctly carried out, particularly that the stop
switch is not in the "STOP" position. Try starting
once again. The combustion chamber will be
flooded, if the engine still fails to start.
In that case we recommend you proceed as follows:
• Remove the spark plug cover.
• Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug.
• Remove the spark plug and dry fuel mixture from
the electrodes.
• Move the throttle lever up to full throttle. Pull
the starter handle several times (with removed
spark plug) to clear the combustion chamber.
• Move the throttle lever down to idling position,
refit the spark plug, the plug cap and the plug
cover.
• Start the engine with the choke lever up ( ) and
the stop switch in the "Start" position.
7.6 Turning off the engine:
Release the throttle and push the stop switch to
"STOP".
Important: Due to the centrifugal clutch, the cutter
will run on for a short time, even if you release the
throttle. Ensure the cutter has come to a full
standstill before storing the machine.
