Stihl FS 36 User Manual

'XULQJEUHDNLQSHULRG
A factory new machine should not be
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for
the first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period.
As all moving parts have to bed in
during the break-in period, the
frictional resistances in the engine
are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
'XULQJRSHUDWLRQ
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
$IWHUILQLVKLQJZRUN
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry
place. Check tightness of nuts and
srews (not adjusting screws) at regular
intervals and retighten as necessary.
*HQHUDO1RWHVRQ2SHUDWLRQ
Wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil in
the gasoline), a dirty air filter and
unfavorable running conditions (mostly
at part throttle etc.) affect the condition of
the spark plug. These factors cause
deposits to form on the insulator nose
which may result in trouble in operation.
If engine is down on power, difficult to
start or runs poorly at idling speed,
first check the spark plug.
•
Remove spark plug -
see chapter “Starting”:
•
Clean dirty spark plug.
•
Check electrode gap -
it should be 0.7mm/0.03" $ -
readjust if necessary.
•
Use only resistor type spark plugs
of the approved range.
Rectify problems which have caused
fouling of spark plug:
Incorrect carburetor setting, too much oil
in fuel mix, dirty air filter,
unfavorable running conditions, e.g.
operating at part load.
•
Fit a new spark plug after
approx. 50 operating hours -
or earlier if the electrodes are
badly eroded.

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
use only spark plugs authorized by
STIHL (see “Specifications”).
