For periods of about 3 months or longer
: Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
: Dispose of remaining fuel and
cleaning solution properly in
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
: Run engine until carburetor is dry –
this helps prevent the carburetor
diaphragms sticking together.
: Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting blade.
: Thoroughly clean the machine – pay
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
: Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
Have worn depth wheel replaced by
your STIHL dealer.
: The end of the thread on screw (1)
is caulked to ensure that the
wingnut (2) does not work loose
and be lost.
A very high torque has to be applied to
remove the wingnut from the screw. If
the parts are then reassembled, the
captive function is no longer
guaranteed. In such a case the screw
and wingnut should be replaced by your
dealer*.
* STIHL recommends that this work
be done by a STIHL servicing dealer

along with washer (2).
: Pull the skirt (3) off the lug (4) and
out of the deflector
Position of skirt
: Position the skirt (3) correctly in
relation to depth wheel (5):
