Shutdown And Storage; Scheduled Maintenance - AL-KO solo 137 Mode D'emploi

7.7 Shutdown and storage

Preferably, store the equipment in a dry and secure place with a full fuel tank. Open flames or similar must
not be nearby. Prevent unauthorised use – particularly by children.
For stops longer than four weeks the following steps should be carried out:
• Empty and clean the fuel tank at a well-ventilated location.
• Start the engine with an empty fuel tank. Run the engine until the carburettor is empty and the engine
stalls. Otherwise the carburettor nozzles could become encrusted with residual fuel mixture and make a
subsequent start harder.
• Clean the power tool well (particularly the air intake openings, the cylinder fins, the air filter and the fuel
filler area).
• Preferably, store the equipment in a dry and secure place with a full fuel tank. Open flames or similar
must not be nearby. Prevent unauthorised access – particularly by children.
