STIHL filters (standard and HD) have a
long service life when kept in a dry
condition.
: Always use STIHL filters in
dry condition.
Dirty air filters reduce engine power,
increase fuel consumption and make
starting more difficult.
: Use the combination wrench to
open the fasteners (1) in the
direction of the arrows.
: Remove the carburetor box
cover (2).
: Loosen the nut (3) in the direction of
the arrow.

If there is a noticeable loss of engine
power:
: Knock the filter out on the palm of
your hand or blow it out with
compressed air from the inside
outward.
In case of stubborn dirt or sticky filter
fabric:
: Wash the filter in a fresh, non-
flammable solution (e.g. warm
soapy water) and then dry.
: Do not impregnate the standard
filter with oil.
Always replace a damaged filter.
