Chain Lubricant
Filling Chain Oil Tank
For automatic and reliable lubrication of
the chain and guide bar – use only an
environmentally compatible quality
chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly
biodegradable STIHL Bioplus is
recommended.
Preparations
Left:
Base of improperly aligned
cap (with open space)
Biological chain oil must be
resistant to aging (e.g. STIHL
Bioplus) since it will otherwise
quickly turn to resin. This results
in hard deposits that are difficult to
remove, especially in the area of
the chain drive, clutch and chain.
It may even cause the oil pump to
seize.
Right:
Base of cap correctly posi-
tioned for installation
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant. It is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain
lubricant.
N
Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
N
N
Position the machine so that the
filler cap is facing up.
N
N
To correct a misalignment, turn the
cap (with the grip up) until it drops
fully into the tank opening.
Do not use waste oil. Renewed
contact with waste oil can cause
skin cancer. Moreover, waste oil is
environmentally harmful.
Open the filler cap.
Twist the cap counterclockwise as
far as it will go (approx. 1/4 turn) –
this will twist the base of the cap into
the correct position.
Filling chain oil tank
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.
N
Refill the chain oil tank every time
you refuel.
N
N
Twist the cap clockwise, closing it
normally – see the sections
"Closing" and "Checking for proper
closure."
Take care not to spill chain oil while
refilling and do not overfill the tank.
N
Close the filler cap.
If your cap still does not tighten
properly, it may be damaged or
broken; immediately stop use of the
unit and take it to your authorized
STIHL dealer for repair.
There must still be a small amount of oil
in the oil tank when the fuel tank is
empty.
If the oil level in the tank does not go
down, the reason may be a fault in the oil
supply system: Check chain lubrication,
clean the oilways, contact your dealer
