The Stihl service kit 7 comes complete with an air filter, fuel filter and spark plug as standard and is suitable for both domestic and professional users who wish to carry out some general maintenance of their petrol chainsaw (compatible models below), regular maintenance can increase the reliability and lifespan of the machines.
Service Kit 45 for MS 170 and MS 180 (2-MIX, post 2015) includes the following components for standard maintenance:
- Oval hole fleece air filter
- Spark plug
- Fuel filter
The STIHL fleece filter offers good filter quality under different operating conditions. Coarse dirt particles are caught on the surface, while the fine dirt particles are retained inside the filter. Because of this, the chainsaw motor is reliably protected against the ingress of abrasive dust. The performance is retained, the consumption is low and you can continue to simply start your machine as usual.
In order to maintain performance, it is also recommended to replace the spark plug regularly. This is the basis for clean combustion in the engine. The fuel filter keeps the fuel free of foreign particles before it gets into the engine. In this way, it protects the engine and ensures an improved longevity. This must also be replaced regularly in order to function reliably.
To replace the air filter and spark plug, it is best to use the practical combination wrench that you received with your STIHL chainsaw. A cardboard hook is integrated in the packaging of the service kit itself. This allows you to easily remove and replace the fuel filter. You do not need any additional tools.
