Chain Lubricant For automatic and reliable lubrication of the chain and guide bar - use only an environmentally compatible quality chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly biodegradable STIHL Bioplus is recommended. Biological chain oil must be resistant to aging (e.g. STIHL Bioplus) since it will otherwise quickly turn to resin. This results in hard deposits that are difficult to remove, especially in the area of the chain drive, clutch and chain. It may even cause the oil pump to seize. The service life of the chain and guide bar depends on the quality of the lubricant. It is therefore essential to use only a specially formulated chain lubricant. Do not use waste oil. Renewed contact with waste oil can cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste oil is environmentally harmful. Waste oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties and is unsuitable for chain lubrication.

For automatic and reliable lubrication of
the chain and guide bar – use only an
environmentally compatible quality
chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly
biodegradable STIHL Bioplus is
recommended.
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant. It is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain
lubricant.
Preparing the machine
N
Thoroughly clean the filler cap and
the area around it to ensure that no
dirt falls into the tank
N
Always position the machine so that
the filler cap is facing upwards
N
Open the filler cap
Filling chain oil tank
N
Refill the chain oil tank every time
you refuel
Take care not to spill chain oil during
refilling and do not overfill the tank.
N
Close the filler cap
There must still be a small amount of
chain oil in the oil tank when the fuel tank
is empty.
If the oil tank is still partly full, the reason
may be a problem in the oil supply
system: Check chain lubrication, clean
the oil passages, contact your servicing
dealer for assistance if necessary.
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers.
Chain Lubricant
Biological chain oil must be
resistant to aging (e.g. STIHL
Bioplus)
since it will otherwise
quickly turn to resin. This results
in hard deposits that are difficult to
remove, especially in the area of
the chain drive, clutch and chain.
It may even cause the oil pump to
seize.
Do not use waste oil.
Renewed
contact with waste oil can cause
skin cancer. Moreover, waste oil is
environmentally harmful.
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.
