Fitting the Starter Cover
: Push the upper mounting boss 
under the shroud –
line up the tank and push the lower 
part of cover onto the tank.
: Insert and tighten down the housing 
screws.
Secure cable lug (arrow) in position 
(if fitted on your machine).
For periods of about 3 months or longer:
: Drain and clean the fuel tank in a 
well ventilated area.
: Run engine until carburetor is dry, 
this helps prevent the carburetor 
diaphragms sticking together.
: Remove the saw chain and guide 
bar, clean them and spray with 
corrosion inhibiting oil.
: Thoroughly clean the machine, 
pay special attention to the cylinder 
fins and air filter.
: If you use a biological chain and bar 
lubricant, e.g. STIHL BioPlus, 
completely fill the chain oil tank.
: Store the machine in a dry and high 
or locked location, out of the reach 
of children and other unauthorized 
persons.
Replace the chain sprocket after using 
two chains!
Replace sooner if the wear marks 
on the sprocket are deeper than 
about 0,02" (0.5 mm)(dimension a) 
since this would otherwise shorten 
the life of the chain.
Use gauge – see "Special 
Accessories" – to check the depth of the 
wear marks.
It is best to use two chains in 
rotation with one sprocket.
Use only original STIHL chain sprockets!
