Starter Rope - Stihl MS 170 Manual De Instrucciones

If engine is down on power, difficult to
start or runs poorly at idling speed, first
check the spark plug.
: Remove spark plug – see "Starting /
Stopping the Engine".
: Clean dirty spark plug.
: Check electrode gap (A) and
readjust if necessary – see
"Specifications".
: Use only resistor type spark plugs
of the approved range.
Rectify problems which have caused
fouling of spark plug:
: 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.
100 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. Always press
spark plug boot (2) snugly onto
spark plug terminal (1) of the proper
size. (Note: If terminal has
detachable SAE adapter nut, it must
be attached.)
A loose connection between spark
plug boot and ignition wire
connector in the boot may create
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.

Starter Rope

The starter rope is subject to normal
wear and tear. To prolong its service
life, please observe the following
points:
: Pull out the rope only in the direction
specified.
: Do not pull the rope sideways
against the edge of the guide bush.
: Do not pull out the rope further than
specified – if might otherwise break.
: Do not let the starter grip snap back
– guide it slowly and vertically into
the housing so that the starter rope
can rewind properly.
See also "Starting / Stopping the
Engine".
Always replace a damaged starter rope
in good time or have it replaced by your
STIHL dealer.
