Instruction Manual

SR 200

To relieve vapor lock:
– Press the manual fuel pump bulb at
least 20 to 30 times – even if the
bulb is already filled with fuel – to
clear the vapor and send liquid fuel
into the carburetor. Then start the
power tool. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate
section of your instruction manual.
– If the manual fuel pump bulb will not
be filled, place the Choke Knob to
the cold start position g and pull
the starter cord until the engine
runs. If the engine does not fire after
10 pulls in the cold start
position g, place the Choke Knob
to the warm start position < and
start the engine in the warm start
position <.
– If your power tool will not restart, or
if vapor lock occurs again, the
power tool is being used in
conditions too extreme for the fuel
being used. Discontinue use and let
the engine cool completely before
attempting to start the power tool.
Filling the Container
WARNING
Tighten all connections and check to be
sure the hose is securely attached and
in good condition. Keep the valve lever
on the control lever closed.
Before using the power tool with
chemicals, fill it with fresh water to
assure that you have it properly
assembled and practice spraying. Also,
check for any leaks at this time. When
thoroughly familiar with the power tool
operation, follow normal operating
procedures.
Fill your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors.
WARNING
Do not use:
– flammables in the mistblower, which
can explode causing serious or fatal
injury;
– caustic or corrosive materials in the
mistblower, that could result in
damage to the unit;
– liquids with a temperature above
120° F (50° C) to avoid scalding and
damage to the unit.
To fill the container, place the power tool
on a level surface. To reduce the risk of
contaminating the surrounding
environment, be careful not to overfill the
container with chemical solution.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not fill the
unit while wearing it on your back.
If you fill the container with a hose
attached to a central water supply, be
sure the end of the hose is out of the
solution to reduce the risk of backflow,
i.e. the chemicals being sucked into the
water supply in the case of a sudden
vacuum.
Calculate the correct amount of
chemical solution so that it is used up at
one time, with no extra solution left in the
tank.
After filling, fit the container cap and
tighten it down firmly.
WARNING
Check for leakage while refilling and
during operation. A leak from the
container or a loose fitting could soak
your clothing and come into contact with
your skin.
Before Operation
WARNING
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger and
setting lever with stop position. The
throttle trigger must move freely and
always spring back to the idle position.
Never attempt to modify the controls or
safety devices.
WARNING
Check fuel system for leaks, especially
the visible parts, e.g., filler cap, hose
connections, manual fuel pump (only for
power tools equipped with a manual fuel
pump). Do not start the engine if there
are leaks or damage – risk of fire. Have
the power tool repaired by a STIHL
servicing dealer before using it.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of leakage and skin
contact with chemicals, check that the
container cap and all connections in the
path of the spray are tight, and be sure
the hose is securely attached and in
good condition. Keep the valve lever
closed.
