Factory Testing of All STIHL Products

Every engine manufactured by STIHL has been started and
operated in a test cell
The test cell makes carburetor adjustments and verifies
that the engine runs properly at idle, acceleration, and at
full throttle under load
The test cell measures the running performance and
emissions and verifies that they are within acceptable
parameters
All the dealer needs to do is service the unit and verify it is
ready for the customer to operate it
It is extremely rare that a new unit will need any major
adjustments or repair
