Starting; Engine Will Not Start; Turning Off The Engine - Solo 142 Instructions D'emploi

7.3 Starting

Observe the safety instructions when starting.
Note: Your new brushcutter is equipped with the
Primer easy-start system and a decompression valve.
By pressing and holding down the decompression
valve at start-up, the motor has less resistance to
overcome, making it easier to swiftly pull the starter
cable through. After starting, the decompression
valve automatically returns to its normal position.

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.
When the engine is cold:
With the choke lever up ( ) and with the
decompression valve held down, start the engine by
pulling the starter handle up in a straight line
several times until the motor is briefly audible
(ignition).
Then immediately move the choke lever down ( ).
Continue to start (with decompression valve held
down) until the engine runs evenly.
When the engine is warm:
With the choke lever down ( ) and with the
decompression valve activated, start the engine by
pulling the starter handle up in a straight line
several times until the motor runs evenly.
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.

7.4 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 down ( )
and the stop switch in the "Start" position.

7.5 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.
