Filling Chain Oil Tank - Stihl HT 100 Instruction Manual

If special chain lubricant is not available,
you may – in an emergency – use an HD
single grade or multigrade engine oil
with a viscosity that suits the prevailing
outside temperature.
Do not use waste oil!
Medical studies have shown that
renewed contact with waste oil can
cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste
is environmentally harmful!
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.

Filling Chain
Oil Tank
:
A full chain oil tank is sufficient
for only half a tankful of fuel.
Check the oil level regularly
during cutting work. Never allow
the oil tank to run dry!
:
Thoroughly clean the filler cap and
area around it so that no dirt can fall
into the tank.
:
Position the unit so that the filler cap
faces up.
If the oil level in the tank does not go
down, the reason may be a problem in
the oil supply system: Check chain
lubrication, clean the oilways, contact
your servicing dealer for assistance if
necessary. STIHL recommends that you
have maintenance and repair work
performed only by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
