Replacing a Broken Rewind
Spring
: Remove the rope rotor.
The bits of spring might still be
under tension and could fly apart
when you take them out of the fan
cover. To reduce risk of injury, wear
eye and face protection and work
gloves.
: Use a screwdriver to carefully
remove the parts of the spring.
: Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.
: Place the replacement spring with
frame in the fan cover – the spring
loop must engage the lug in the fan
cover.
: Apply a suitable tool (screwdriver,
punch or similar) to the recesses
(arrows) and push the spring into its
seat in the fan cover – the spring
slips out of the frame in this process.
: Reinstall the rope rotor, tension the
rewind spring, fit the fan cover and
secure in position with the screws.
For periods of about 3 months or longer:
: Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
: Dispose of remaining fuel and
cleaning solution properly in
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
: Run engine until carburetor is dry,
this helps prevent the carburetor
diaphragms sticking together.
: Remove the saw chain and guide
bar, clean them and spray with
corrosion inhibiting oil.
: Thoroughly clean the unit,
pay special attention to the cylinder
fins and air filter.
: If you use a biological chain and bar
lubricant, e.g. STIHL BioPlus,
completely fill the chain oil tank.
: Store the unit in a dry and high or
locked location, out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
