Stihl MH 710 Manuel D'utilisation page 37

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.
Avoid damage to the machine!
When using a high-pressure
cleaner, maintain a distance of at
least 1 m and never direct the
water jet directly at bearing points,
drive shaft or seals – especially the
seal between the gearbox housing
and guard plate.
