Checking for proper closure
N
The lug on the grip must engage
entirely in the recess (arrow), and
the grip must lie completely flush
with the top of the cap.
N
Grip the cap and check for
tightness.
N
If the cap can be moved, it is not
properly installed.
Misalignment of the cap parts
N
If the cap does not drop fully into the
opening when the positioning marks
line up and/or if the cap does not
tighten properly when twisted, the
base of the cap may be rotated out
of position vis-à-vis the top.
N
Such misalignment can result from
handling, cleaning or an improper
attempt at tightening.
N
To correct a misalignment, turn the
cap (with the grip up) until it drops
fully into the tank opening.
N
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.
N
Twist the cap clockwise, closing it
normally – see the sections
"Closing" and "Checking for proper
closure."
N
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.
Fitting the full harness is described in
detail in the instruction sheet supplied.
N
Put on the full harness (1).
N
Adjust the length of the strap so that
the carabiner (2) is about a hand’s
width below your right hip.
N
Attach the spring hook to the
machine's perforated strip (3).
Find the right attachment point for the
cutting attachment you are using – see
"Balancing the Brushcutter".
