REASON FOR THE RECALL
TO INSPECT AND REPAIR
The
fuel line may have been pinched during the production process, allowing fuel to
leak and posing fire and burn hazards. STIHL Inc. has received no
reports of fires or injuries.
If
you determine that you have a machine in the model and serial number range listed
above, discontinue its use immediately and take it to
an authorized STIHL dealer. Your
STIHL dealer will perform a free inspection and, if necessary, repair.
