To help prolong the wear life of the
starter rope, observe the following
points:
N Pull the starter rope only in the
direction specified.
N Do not pull the rope over the edge of
the guide bushing.
N Do not pull out the rope more than
specified.
N Do not allow the starter grip to snap
back, guide it back into the housing
slowly – see chapter on "Starting /
Stopping the Engine."
Have a damaged starter rope replaced
by your dealer before it breaks
completely. STIHL recommends that
you have servicing and repair work
carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
For periods of 3 months or longer
N Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
N Dispose of fuel properly in
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
N Run the engine until the carburetor
is dry – this helps prevent the
carburetor diaphragms sticking
together.
N Thoroughly clean the machine – pay
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
N Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting blade.
N Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location, out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
Have the worn wheel replaced by a
specialist dealer. STIHL recommends
that maintenance and repair work be
carried out only by authorized STIHL
dealers.
Wheel
N End of screw thread (1) is deformed
so that the wingnut (2) cannot be
lost
The wingnut can only be unscrewed
from the screw with lots of force. If the
parts are joined again after this, the
function of the "filler cap retainer" is no
longer assured. In this case, have the
screw and wingnut replaced with new
ones by a specialist dealer.
