English Storing the Machine For periods of 3 months or longer N Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventilated area. N Dispose of fuel properly in accordance with local environmental requirements. N Run the engine until the carburetor is dry - this helps prevent the carburetor diaphragms sticking together. N Remove the saw chain and guide bar, clean them and spray with corrosion inhibiting oil. N Thoroughly clean the machine - pay special attention to the cylinder fins and air filter. N If you use a biological chain and bar lubricant, e.g. STIHL BioPlus, completely fill the chain oil tank. N Store the machine in a dry, high or locked location, out of the reach of children and other unauthorized persons. Checking and Replacing the Chain Sprocket N Remove the chain sprocket cover, chain and guide bar. N Disengage the chain brake: Pull the hand guard toward the front handle. Replace the chain sprocket - after using two saw chains or sooner - if the wear marks (arrows) are deeper than 0.02 in (0.5 mm) since this would reduce the life of the chain. Use a gauge (special accessory) to check the depth of the wear marks. It is best to use two saw chains in rotation with one sprocket. STIHL recommends the use of original STIHL sprockets to ensure correct operation of the chain brake. 143BA042 KN 001BA086 KN N Use a screwdriver to remove the Eclip. N Remove the washer. N Pull the sprocket and needle cage off the crankshaft. Installing the chain sprocket N Clean the crankshaft stub and needle cage, and lubricate with STlHL grease (special accessory). N Push the needle cage on to the crankshaft. N After fitting the chain sprocket, rotate it about one turn to engage oil pump drive. N Refit the washer and E-clip on the crankshaft.
