Storing The Machine - Stihl MS 362 C-Q Instruction Manual

English
The starter grip must locate firmly in the
rope bushing. If the grip droops to one
side: Add one more turn on the rope
rotor to increase spring tension.
When the starter rope is fully extended it
must still be possible to rotate the rotor
another half turn. If this is not the case,
the spring is overtensioned and could
break.
Take one turn of the rope off the
N
rotor.
Fit the fan housing and shroud.
N
Models with ElastoStart
Set the Master Control lever to the
N
stop position (0) and push the
remaining rope into the grip until the
nipple is flush with the top of the
grip.
Replacing a broken rewind spring
Remove the rope rotor as described
N
in "Replacing a Broekn Starter
Rope".
WARNING
The bits of spring must still be under
tension and could fly apart when you
take them out of the housing. To reduce
the risk of injury, wear face protection
and work gloves.
Use a screwdriver to carefully
N
remove the parts of the spring from
the housing.
Lubricate the new spring with a few
N
drops of non-resinous oil.

Place the new spring with frame in
N
position in the fan housing – the
anchor loop (arrow) must engage
the lug in the housing.
Apply suitable tools (screwdriver,
N
punch, etc.) to the recesses and
push the spring into its seat in the
fan housing – it slips out of the frame
in this process.
Fit the rope rotor and tension the
N
rewind spring.
Fit the fan housing and shroud.

Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
N
well ventilated area.
Dispose of fuel properly in

accordance with local
environmental requirements.

bar, clean them and spray with
corrosion inhibiting oil.

N
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.

locked location, out of the reach of
