Chain Lubricant

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.
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.
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.
Do not use waste oil. Renewed
contact with waste oil can cause
skin cancer. Moreover, waste oil is
environmentally harmful.
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.

Filling Chain Oil Tank

N Thoroughly clean the filler cap and
the area around it to ensure that no
dirt falls into the tank
N Open the filler cap
N Refill the chain oil tank every time
you refuel
N Close the filler cap
There must still be a small amount of
chain oil in the oil tank when the fuel tank
is empty.
If the oil tank is still partly full, the reason
may be a problem in the oil supply
system: Check chain lubrication, clean
the oil passages, contact your servicing
dealer for assistance if necessary.
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers.
