Checking the Spark Plug English Storing the Machine A N Clean dirty spark plug. N Check electrode gap (A) and readjust if necessary - see "Specifications." N Use only resistor type spark plugs of the approved range. Rectify problems that have caused fouling of spark plug: - too much oil in fuel mix, - dirty air filter, - unfavorable running conditions, e.g. operating at part load. 000BA039 KN 000BA071 KN 1 2 WARNING To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, use only spark plugs authorized by STIHL. Always press spark plug boot (1) snugly onto spark plug terminal (2) of the proper size. (Note: If terminal has detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be securely attached.) A loose connection between spark plug boot and ignition wire connector in the boot may create arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. Installing the spark plug 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. N Install the spark plug and connect the spark plug boot (press it down firmly) - reassembly all other parts in the reverse sequence. MS 170, MS 170 C, MS 180, MS 180 C 43
