Why Service a Stihl Machine?
Regular maintenance of your Stihl machine including replacing the air filter, fuel filter and the spark plug can increase the reliability and lifetime of your machine by contributing to preventing components and parts from dirt and damage and to ensure your machine always operates with optimum performance.
It is recommended a spark plug is changed as it is essential for a clean combustion in the engine which helps to maintain performance.
It is recommended an air filter is changed as a dirty filter can reduce engine performance, increase fuel consumption, and make starting the machine more difficult. The air filter when regularly maintained with ensure long operating times for your machine and protect against fine abrasive dust from entering the machine.
It is recommended a fuel filter is changed as it helps keep fuel free of external particles before it enters the engine to ensure longevity and reliable performance of the engine. Should the fuel filter allow these particles to get through, it can cause irreversible damage to the engine which can cause very expensive repairs!
