Fueling

Filling up with fuel
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling
and do not overfill the tank.
STIHL recommends you use the STIHL
filler nozzle for fuel (special accessory).
Closing the Cap
Insert the cap in the opening – with
N
the grip upright – the marks must
line up.
Rotate the cap clockwise as far as
N
stop (about 1/4 turn).
Fold the grip down so that it is flush
N
with the top of the cap.
If the grip does not lie completely flat on
the cap and the grip's lug does not
engage the recess (see arrow), the cap
is not properly closed and you must
repeat the above steps.
