Debris Shield Installation; Debris Shield Setting; String Head Installation; Carrying Strap Adjustment - Solo 130 Manual Del Usario

While in operation, the brushcutter should be
checked on a regular basis. The cutter's
condition should be examined if there is any
noticeable cutting difficulty.
Replace damaged or dull parts at once.
Re-sharpen dull cutters - kick-back danger is
increased when dull!
Only approved cutting attachments, string
heads, accessories or spare parts are to be used.
Assembly and disassembly of the
18
string head
The following parts are to be removed prior to
installation:
Lock nut (left-hand thread!) (counter-clock-
wise), nut protector, pressure plate, metal
cutting attachment.
Turn arbor shaft with pressure plate (8) so that
the gap for the holding pin (4) matches the gap
in the anti-clogging device (9) and pressure plate
(8). Screw the string head on by hand (Caution!
Left-hand thread!) (counter-clock-wise).
For disassembly, operate in reverse fashion.
19 Rototrim Mowing Head
To install the Rototrim mowing head, it is
necessary to remove parts as in the installation
of the string head.
Place pressure piece (8) with the smooth side
on the outside.
Place the Rototrim mowing head with the
depression facing outward. Insert pressure plate
(5) for centering, with the embossed side facing
underneath and tighten with the nut (7). Block
shaft with pin (4). Take care that all parts are
centered.
String Head advancing string

Manual Design
To advance the string, turn engine off, release
fastening button on the string head until the
center piece can be turned. Pull both string ends
simultaneously - approx. 10 to 12 cm (4 inches).
Re-tighten fastening button (counter clockwise).
The line limiter on the debris shield
automatically adjusts the string length after the
first few cutting revolutions.
Semi-Automatic
When the trimmer is not under load, tap the
trimmer head several times on a grassed surface.
Each adjustment move of the head extends the
cord by approx. 30 mm. Excess cord will be
automatically cut by the cord limiter on the
debris shield.
Inserting replacement string
Replacing Nylon Cord
Depending on the nylon head version, either
unscrew fastening button or separate
housings where indicated with "Push".
Remove cord spool. Depending on the spool
version, either use 2 lengths of approx. 2.5m
each of nylon cord and insert these in hole
provided in the spool or use 1 length of
approx. 5m of nylon cord, fold in the middle
and attach to spool where folded. Wind
cord on spool in direction as indicated by
arrow. Cord windings should be parallel and
not crossed.
Place cord ends into locating holes on the
underside of the spool and feed both cord ends
through the eyelets.
Pull on both cord ends to neutralize the
automatic cord lock. Re-fit the lower trimmer
head and tighten.

Carrying Strap Adjustment

21
Singular shoulder strap
The carrying strap supplied with the brushcutter
or bought as an accessory has to be properly
adjusted.
Place the singular shoulder strap over the left
shoulder, so that the strap hook (1) lays on the
side of the right hip after the strap length is
properly adjusted.
When releasing the single shoulder strap the
quick release is opened by pushing the notches
together. The hook with the strap's lower part
may remain on the brushcutter.
Dual carrying shoulder strap
The brushcutter has to be balanced after the
hook (1) is placed in the strap hanger. To balance
the brushcutter you either slide the clamp hol-
der (2) after loosening the screws, or the hook
is hung in one of the various fastening holes.
