To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injury, use only spark plugs
authorized by STIHL. Always press
spark plug boot (2) snugly onto
spark plug terminal (1) of the proper
size. (Note: If terminal has
detachable SAE adapter nut, it must
be attached.)
A loose connection between spark
plug boot and ignition wire
connector in the boot may create
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
Replacing a Broken Starter Rope
: Remove the screws (1) and lift away
the starter cover.
: Remove the spring clip (2).
: Carefully remove the rope rotor with
washer (3) and pawl (4).
The rewind spring may pop out and
uncoil during this operation. Take
care to avoid injury!
: Pry the cap (5) out of the starter
grip.
: Remove remaining rope from the
rotor and grip.
: Tie a simple overhand knot in the
new rope – see "Specifications" –
and then thread it through the top of
the grip and the rope bush (6).
: Refit the cap in the grip.
