Starting; Engine Will Not Start; Turning Off The Engine - Solo 155 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.
The following instructions are aimed at increasing the
service life of the starter rope and of the starter
mechanism:
! Pull the starter cord out, until you can feel a definite
resistance; then pull it through quickly and firmly.
! Always pull the rope out in a straight line, do not let
the rope drag across the edge of the rope eyelet.
! Do not pull rope all the way out - risk of the rope
breaking.
! Always manually guide the rope back into its start
position with your hand on the starter grip - do not
let it retract on its own.
A specialist can replace a damaged starter rope.
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.
Emergency stop Should the engine – due to a faulty
ON / OFF switch – fail to stop, it can also be stopped
by closing the choke (choke lever in position
such an event, do not restart the engine, but have
the equipment checked by an authorised service
shop.
