The catayltic converter integrated in the muffler

reduces the harmful emissions in the exhaust

gas.
The correct carburetor setting (if adjustable) and

strict observance of the prescribed mix ratio of

gasoline and two-stroke engine oil are essential

to minimize harmful emissions and ensure a long

catalytic converter service life.

14 Spark Plug

► If the engine is down on power, difficult to start

or runs poorly at idle speed, first check the

spark plug.

► Fit a new spark plug after about 100 operating

hours – or sooner if the electrodes are badly

eroded. Install only suppressed spark plugs of

the type approved by STIHL – see "Specifica‐

tions".

14.1

000BA039 KN

A

► Clean dirty spark plug.

► Check electrode gap (A) and readjust if neces‐

sary – see "Specifications".

► Rectify the problems which have caused foul‐

ing of the spark plug.

Possible causes are:

Too much oil in fuel mix.

Dirty air filter.

Unfavorable running conditions.

WARNING

Arcing may occur if the adapter nut (1) is loose

or missing. Working in an easily combustible or

explosive atmosphere may cause a fire or an

explosion. This can result result in serious inju‐

ries or damage to property.
► Use resistor type spark plugs with a properly

tightened adapter nut.

14.3

Installing the spark plug

► Screw home the spark plug, fit the boot and

press it down firmly.

15 Engine Running Behavior

If engine running behavior is unsatisfactory even

though the air filter is clean and the carburetor is

properly adjusted, the cause may be the muffler.
Have the muffler checked for contamination (car‐

bonization) by your servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have servicing and

repair work carried out exclusively by an author‐

ized STIHL servicing dealer.

16 Storing the Machine

For periods of 3 months or longer

► Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventila‐

ted area.

► Dispose of fuel properly in accordance with

local environmental requirements.

► Run the engine until the carburetor is dry – this

helps prevent the carburetor diaphragms stick‐

ing together.

► Thoroughly clean the machine – pay special

attention to the cylinder fins and air filter.

► Store the machine in a dry, high or locked

location, – out of the reach of children and

other unauthorized persons.
