For periods of about 3 months or longer:
: Remove, clean and inspect the
blade.
: Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
: Check grease level regularly –
about every 25 hours of operation.
: Unscrew the filler plug (1).
: If no grease can be seen on the
inside of the filler plug, screw the
tube of grease (2) – see “Special
Accessories” – into the filler hole.
: Squeeze up to 1/5 oz (5 g) grease
into the gear housing.
Do not not completely fill the gear
housing with grease.
: Refit the filler plug and tighten it
down firmly.
Depth Wheel
Have a worn wheel replaced by your
dealer. STIHL recommends that you
have all maintenance and repair work
performed by a STIHL servicing dealer.
: The end of the thread on screw (1)
is caulked to ensure that the
wingnut (2) does not work loose and
be lost.
A very high torque has to be applied
to remove the wingnut from the screw.
If the parts are then reassembled, the
captive function is no longer
guaranteed. In such a case have the
screw and wingnut replaced by your
dealer
