Factory Testing of All STIHL Products
 Every engine manufactured by STIHL has been started and 
operated in a test cell
 The test cell makes carburetor adjustments and verifies 
that the engine runs properly at idle, acceleration, and at 
full throttle under load
 The test cell measures the running performance and 
emissions and verifies that they are within acceptable 
parameters
 All the dealer needs to do is service the unit and verify it is 
ready for the customer to operate it
 It is extremely rare that a new unit will need any major 
adjustments or repair
