If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the reason may be a problem in the oil supply system: Check chain lubrication, clean the oilways, contact your dealer for assistance if necessary. STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. If the tank cap cannot be locked in the oil tank opening Bottom of cap is twisted in relation to top. N Remove the cap from the oil tank and check it from above.

It is not in line with the outer mark. 0000-GXX-0136-A0 N Place the cap on the opening and rotate it counterclockwise until it engages the filler neck. N Continue rotating the cap counterclockwise (about a quarter turn) - this causes the bottom of the cap to be turned to the correct position. N Turn the cap clockwise and lock it in position - see section on "Closing". The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil. NOTICE Never operate your machine without chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the whole cutting attachment will be irretrievably damaged within a very short time. Always check chain lubrication and the oil level in the tank before starting work. Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2 to 3 minutes. After breaking in the chain, check chain tension and adjust if necessary - see "Checking Chain Tension". 18 HT-KM
