5.4 Shoulder strap adjustment
Before commencing work, adjust the shoulder
strap and handle according to the operator's body
size.
Balance the brushcutter and attached cutting
blade so that the cutting tool hovers just above the
ground when your hands are off the attached
brushcutter.
A) Models with a "loop" handle (128L, 135L
and 145L)
Wear the single shoulder strap over the opposite
shoulder to the side on which you are carrying the
brushcutter. Once the length of the strap has been
correctly adjusted the strap hook should be over
your hip. Hook the strap hook into the strap
attachment on the brushcutter.
If the cutting tool hovers more than 30 cm above
the ground, secure the shoulder strap retainer
nearer to the engine.
If the cutter lies on the ground, secure the
shoulder strap retainer nearer the handle.
B) Models with a "bike" handle (128B, 130H,
135B and 145B) – double shoulder strap
Fig. 9
(schematic diagram)
If the cutting tool hovers more than 30 cm above
the ground, secure the strap hook one hole nearer
to the engine.
If the tool lies on the ground, select one hole
further from the engine.

6.1 A) Models with a Kawasaki engine
128L, 128B, 135L, 135B, 145L and 145B
A high performance two-stroke engine operated
with a petrol:oil mixture (petrol + oil = fuel mixture).
Unleaded normal petrol can be used for the fuel
mix.
Special or ready to use fuel and mixtures are not
useable for the Kawasaki-Engines!
Unsuitable petrol or deviations in the mixing ratio
may lead to serious engine damage!
Avoid direct skin contact with petrol and
avoid inhaling petrol fumes - health hazard!

We recommend a mixture of 1:50 (2%) when using
our special 2-stroke oil "SOLO Professional 2-

Before starting up the tool, always check that there
is enough suitable engine oil in the oil tank (the
dipstick is located in the oil tank cap – for further
information refer to the operating instructions for
the engine).
We recommend
SOLO All year 4-stroke engine oil, part no.:

6.3 Fuelling
While fuelling always follow all safety instructions
and take all safety precautions.
Handle fuel only with the engine turned off.
Carefully clean the area around the filler inlet.
Place the machine with the fuel inlet pointing
upwards. Unscrew the tank lid and fill the fuel
mixture up to the lower edge of the filler neck. Use
a funnel with filter to prevent tank contamination.
After filling the tank replace the tank lid and tighten
firmly.
