Chain Lubricant Filling Chain Oil Tank english For automatic and reliable lubrication of the chain and guide bar - use only an environmentally compatible quality chain and bar lubricant with non-fling additive or the 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. If special chain lubricant is not available, you may - in an emergency - use an HD single grade or multigrade engine oil with a viscosity that suits the prevailing outside temperature. Do not use waste oil. Medical studies have shown that renewed contact with waste oil can cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste is environmentally harmful. Waste oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties and is unsuitable for chain lubrication. : Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap and the area round it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. : Refill the chain oil tank every time you refuel. There must still be a small amount of 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 oilways, contact your STlHL dealer for assistance if necessary. 165BA002 KN MS 360 31

For automatic and reliable
lubrication of the chain and guide
bar –
use only an environmentally
compatible quality chain and bar
lubricant with non-fling additive
or the 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.
If special chain lubricant is not available,
you may - in an emergency - use an HD
single grade or multigrade engine oil
with a viscosity that suits the prevailing
outside temperature.
Do not use waste oil.
Medical studies have shown that
renewed contact with waste oil can
cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste
is environmentally harmful.
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.
:
Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap
and the area round it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
:
Refill the chain oil tank every time
you refuel.
There must still be a small amount of oil
in the oil tank when the fuel tank is

If the oil tank is still partly full, the reason
may be a problem in the oil supply
