Testing The Heating - Stihl MS 362 Manual

Installing
: Position the new heating element
(1) so that it butts against the
edge (arrow) of the rear handle –
make sure it is completely flat.
If the heating element is not fitted
perfectly flat, heat transfer to the
handle will be interrupted and the
element may fail as a result of
overheating.
1
: Reconnect the pin and socket
connectors.
: Push the insulating tubes (1) over
the connectors.
– To reduce the risk of a short
circuit, make sure the insulating
tubes completely cover the
connections.

The wires and connectors must be
seated in the guides (arrows).
– Reassemble all other parts in the
reverse sequence.
13.6 Heating Element in
Handlebar
The heating element in the
handlebar (front handle) is not
replaceable. A new handlebar must
be fitted if the heating element is
faulty.
Testing the Heating Element
– Swing the filter base to the rear,
1
b 12.3.
Carry out the following test to find
the wire to the handlebar heating
element.
– Separate the connectors of the
heating element on the rear
handle.
Carry out measurement between
the two terminal sockets and the
heater switch connector sleeve.
– Set the heater switch to F, b 9.7.
2
: Reading between terminal socket
(1) and heater switch connector
sleeve approx. 1 Ω
= generator wire.
: Reading between terminal socket
(2) and heater switch connector
sleeve approx. 6.4 Ω
= wire to handlebar heating
element.
If the heating element is in good
condition the ohmmeter will indicate
a value of about 6.4 Ω in
measuring range "Ω".
If the reading is outside this range,
install a new handlebar with heating
element, b 9.7.
Heating element does not operate
even though resistance
measurement is ok?
– Test the generator and heater
switch, b 13.3
– Reassemble in the reverse
sequence.
