MS 200 T
The chain brake is designed to be
activated also by the inertia of the
front hand guard
if the forces are sufficiently high. The
hand guard is accelerated toward the
bar nose - even if your left hand is not
behind the hand guard, e.g. during a
felling cut. The chain brake will operate
only if it has been properly maintained
and the hand guard has not been
modified in any way.
Check operation of chain brake
Before starting work:
Run engine at idle speed, engage the
chain brake (push hand guard toward
bar nose). Accelerate up to full throttle
for no more than 3 seconds – the chain
must not rotate. The hand guard must be
free from dirt and move freely.
Chain brake maintenance
The chain brake is subject to normal
wear. It is necessary to have it serviced
and maintained regularly by trained
personnel, such as your STIHL servicing
dealer, at the following intervals:
At temperatures below about +50 °F
: Remove screw (1).
: Pull out the shutter (2), turn it over
so the window is facing down and
then push it back into position.
: Refit the screw (1).
The shutter is now in the winter position.
Heated air is now drawn in from around
the cylinder and mixed with cold air to
help prevent air filter and carburetor
icing.
At temperatures above about
+50 °F.
Return the shutter to the summer
position (as shown in illustration) to
avoid engine running problems that
may be caused by overheating!
