Engine Running Behavior

If engine running behavior is still
unsatisfactory after the air filter has been
serviced and the carburetor and throttle
cable have been adjusted correctly, the
cause may also be in the muffler.
Have the muffler checked for
contamination (coking) by a servicing
dealer!
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers.

Rewind Starter

To help prolong the wear life of the
starter rope, observe the following
points:
Pull the starter rope only in the
N
direction specified.
Do not pull the rope over the edge of
N
the guide bushing.
Do not pull out the rope more than
N
specified.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap

carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
