Stihl EHC 600 Manuel D'utilisation page 14

Avoid damage to the machine!
The engine is delivered without
engine oil. It must therefore be filled
with engine oil before being used
for the first time.
Exceeding or falling below the
permissible oil filling level can result
in damage to the engine.
● Park the STIHL machine on a flat
surface and stop the engine.
● Unscrew oil dipstick (1) and wipe clean.
● Insert oil dipstick (1) in the filler neck –
do not screw in.
● Remove the oil dipstick again and read
off the oil level on the measuring scale.
● If necessary, add engine oil until it
reaches the maximum oil filling level.
Use a suitable funnel.
● Screw in the oil dipstick (1) .
6.2 Refilling the tank
The engine is approved for unleaded
petrol. Unleaded petrol burns with fewer
residues, reduces deposits on the spark
plug and extends the service life of the
exhaust system.
Requirements for the fuel:
12
– Fresh, clean and unleaded petrol
– Rating of at least 86 octane
– Maximum ethanol content 10 % (E10).
STIHL recommends STIHL MotoPlus.
This fuel is virtually free of benzene,
sulphur and toxic aromatics.
Tank capacity: 3,6 litres
Avoid damage to the machine!
STIHL recommends always using
fresh, good quality fuel and never
using petrol with an oil additive (2-
stroke mixture). Do not use stale or
contaminated fuel. Avoid
contaminating the tank contents
with dirt and water. Do not use
unapproved petrol like E85.
Change the petrol brand if you hear
knocking or ringing. If necessary,
contact your specialist dealer;
STIHL recommends STIHL
specialist dealers.
● Park the STIHL machine on a flat
surface, stop the engine and allow to
cool.
● Unscrew tank cap (1).
● Check for correct seating of the fuel
filter.
● Add petrol only as far as the
marking (2) in the fuel tank
so that the fuel has room to
expand.
Use a suitable funnel.
● Screw on the tank cap (1).
6.3 Filling the oil bath air filter
The oil bath air filter is designed for
commercially available 4-stroke engine
oils.
STIHL recommends using the following
engine oils:
– SAE 30
– SAE 10W-30
Avoid damage to the machine!
Carefully add engine oil to the grey
area of the oil bath air filter housing.
Pouring oil into the intake opening
must be prevented.
