Dolmar MS-230 C Manuel D’Utilisation

After about 50 operating hours the gear box (D/8) should be 

checked  by  a  OLMAR  service  centre,  and  if  necessary  re-

grease.
The service centre will add the exact amount of grease, as 

excessive grease will lead to overheating of the gearbox.

The felt filter (E/9) of the suction head is used to filter the fuel

taken in by the carburetor.
A periodical visual inspection of the felt filter should be con-

ducted. For this purpose open the tank cap, and use a wire 

hook to pull out the suction head through the tank opening. If 

the filter has hardened or is dirty or clogged, replace it.
Insufficient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum

speed being exceeded. It is therefore important to replace the 

felt filter at least every three months to ensure a good fuel sup-

ply to the carburetor.

Regularly inspect the muffler opening (E/8). When it becomes 

clogged with carbon residues, carefully scrape them out with 

the suitable tool.

After about 50 tankfuls, have the brushcutter thoroughly inspected 

at a DOLMAR service centre.
