To start the Stihl MF-MM Yard Boss, ensure the power switch is in the "On" position. Set the choke lever to "Cold Start" if the engine is cold. Pull the starter rope until the engine fires, then move the choke to "Run" position once it's running smoothly.
Use a 50:1 ratio of unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle engine oil. Ensure the gasoline has a minimum octane rating of 89.
Check for fuel in the tank and ensure it's fresh. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Verify the air filter is clean and free of obstructions.
The air filter should be checked before each use and cleaned or replaced if necessary. Cleaning frequency may increase in dusty conditions.
After each use, clean debris from the tool and inspect for any damage. Check the air filter and spark plug condition. Make sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight and secure.
To change attachments, ensure the engine is off and cool. Use the provided tool to loosen the bolt securing the attachment. Remove the current attachment and replace it with the desired one, then tighten the bolt securely.
Excessive vibration may be caused by loose parts, damaged attachments, or an engine issue. Inspect and tighten all connections, check attachments for damage, and ensure the engine is running smoothly.
Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor. Clean the tool thoroughly and store it in a dry, sheltered area. Consider removing the spark plug and adding a few drops of oil into the cylinder for added protection.
Yes, the Yard Boss can be used for tilling hard soil, but it may require multiple passes. Ensure the correct tilling attachment is firmly secured and work slowly to avoid overloading the engine.
Wear protective gear, including gloves, eye protection, and sturdy footwear. Keep bystanders at a safe distance and operate the tool in well-lit conditions. Always follow the guidelines provided in the user manual.
