CHAPTER 3 – INSTALLATION – UTILISATION 3.1 Fitting the socket The operations involved in fitting and removing the socket must be performed with the engine stopped. When changing a socket, never replace the cylindrical pin by a protruding fixing object (nail, metal wire, etc.) which could trap and drag the operator’s clothing and cause injury.
only use good-quality engine oil intended for air-cooled two-stroke engines. It is preferable to use STIHL oil for two-stroke engines, which is • Engine oil specially made for STIHL engines and guarantees long engine life. Do not use oil intended for water-cooled engines, nor oil for 4-stroke engines. For machines with exhaust catalysers, prepare the mixture only with STIHL 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 1:50.
• Opening the cap Take hold of the folding handle and raise it to the vertical position (Fig.1). Fig.1 Fig.2 Turn the cap fully anticlockwise (approximately ¼ of a turn) (Fig.2). The mark on the tank cap and the “open position” symbol marked on the machine must coincide. Remove the tank filler cap (Fig.3).
• Checking the fuel level (this check is done with the engine stopped) - Check the fuel level and top up if necessary ( : be sure to refer to 1.3 “General safety instructions” / “Utilisation and handling of fuel” and 3.2.2 “Filling with fuel”).
