Maintenance Work
STIHL recommends that you have 
servicing and repair work carried out 
exclusively by an authorized STIHL 
servicing dealer.
Fuel Pickup Body in Tank
NCheck the pickup body in the fuel 
tank every year and have it replaced 
if necessary.
The pickup body should be positioned in 
the area of the tank shown in the 
illustration.
Anti-vibration elements
Four anti-vibration elements (arrows) 
are installed between the powerhead 
and the drive tube. Have the system 
checked if there is a noticeable increase 
in vibrations.
Both vibration gaps (arrows) are preset 
to the same width at the factory. If the 
size of the two vibration gaps varies 
greatly and/or one of them closes up, 
have your servicing dealer repair the 
anti-vibration system.
Wear Guard on AV Housing
There is an easily replaced wear guard 
on the side of the anti-vibration housing. 
The guard may wear as a result of 
rubbing against the side plate of the 
harness during operation and should be 
replaced if necessary.
