Installation - Stihl TS 400 Manual

STIHL TS 400
- Remove decompression valve
as described in chapter 5.8.
- Check cylinder and replace if
necessary.
Note: The corresponding piston must
also be fitted when installing a new
cylinder. New cylinders are therefore
only available with piston.
• Remove cylinder gasket.
• Lever the hookless snap rings out of
the annular grooves with a drawing
pin or similar implement.
• Press piston pin (1) out of the
piston with assembly pin (2).
Note: If the piston pin is stuck, it can
be released by lightly knocking
against the assembly pin with a
hammer. The pin must be steadied
in order not to transmit the knocks to
the conrod.
- Remove piston from conrod and
draw needle cage out of the
conrod eye.
• Check and replace piston rings,
see chapter 5.7.
