Parts of the spring may still be under
tension and could be thrown in your
direction when you remove the rope
rotor and spring housing. To reduce
the risk of injury, wear eye and
face protection and work gloves.
: Remove the spring housing and
parts of the spring.
: Lubricate the replacement spring in
the new spring housing with a few
drops of resin-free oil**.
Fit the replacement spring with housing
– bottom plate must face up. If the spring
pops out of its housing during
installation: refit it in the clockwise
direction, starting outside and working
inward.
: Fit the screws.
: Install the rope rotor – see
"Replacing a Broken Starter Rope".
: Tension the rewind spring.

For periods of about 3 months or longer
: Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
: Dispose fuel properly in accordance
with local environmental
requirements.
: Run engine until carburetor is dry –
this helps prevent carburetor
diaphragms sticking together.
: Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting tool.
: 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.
: Never attempt to straighten or weld
a bent or cracked cutting tool – it
might shatter!
: Use a flat sharpening file** to
sharpen dull grass cutting blades
and brush knives. In case of more
serious wear or nicks: Resharpen
with a grinder or have work done by
STIHL dealer.
: Resharpen frequently, take away as
little material as possible – two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.
