mark (1) lined up with the
"unlocked" symbol (2) on the fuel
tank housing.
N
Using the grip, press the cap down
firmly while turning it clockwise to
the closed position (approximately
1/4 turn). In the closed position, the
interior (4) and exterior (1)
positioning marks will align with the
"locked" symbol (3) on the fuel tank
housing.
N
Fold the grip flush with the top of the
cap and check for tightness.
WARNING
If the grip does not lie completely flush
with the cap or the detent on the grip
does not fit in the corresponding recess
in the tank opening, or if the cap is loose,
the cap is not properly seated and you
must repeat the above steps. Also refer
to the procedure below for returning the
base of the cap to the proper starting
position for installation.
If the filler cap will not engage into the
fuel tank housing
If the cap does not drop fully into the fuel
tank opening when the positioning
marks (1, 2) line up, or if it does not
tighten properly when turned, the base
of the cap may be prematurely rotated in
relation to the top. Such misalignment
can result from handling, cleaning or an
improper attempt at tightening.
–
Illustrations A and B: The base of
the cap is prematurely rotated to the
closed position and is not in the
correct starting position for
installation. The tank will not seal in
this configuration. Note: in
Illustrations A and B, the interior
positioning marks
(1) are in line with
the exterior position marks (2).
–
Illustration C: The bottom of the cap
is in the correct starting position for
installation. Note: In Illustration C,
the interior positioning mark (1) is
under the grip and not in line with
the outer position mark (2).
To return the base of the cap to the
proper starting position for installation:
N
Turn the cap (with the grip up) until
it drops into the fuel tank opening.
N
Next, turn the cap counter-
clockwise as far as it will go
(approximately 1/4 turn). This will
rotate the base of the cap into the
correct starting position for
installation. The exterior positioning
mark (1) on the cap will line up with
the "unlocked" symbol (2) on the
fuel tank housing.
N
Then, turn the cap clockwise,
closing it normally.
N
If your fuel cap still does not tighten
properly, it may be damaged or
broken. Stop using the chain saw
and take it to your authorized STIHL
dealer for repair.
