underside of the unit.
N Remove the retaining plate (2) and

N Squeeze grease into the gearbox
housing (arrow) between the
cam (4) and cutting blade (5) a little
at a time (max.1/4 oz (5 g)) while
turning the drive pinion (6) with an
hex key wrench to distribute the
grease evenly – avoid contact with
the cutting blades.
NOTICE
Do not completely fill the gearbox with
grease.
N Fit the retaining plate (2) so that it is
flush with the gearbox housing.
N Fit the gearbox cover (3), insert the

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.
