3 MS 311, MS 391 1. Introduction and Safety Precautions 1.1 Introduction This service manual contains detailed descriptions of all the repair and servicing procedures specific to this power tool. You should make use of the illustrated parts lists while carrying out repair work. They show the installed positions of the individual components and assemblies. Refer to the latest edition of the relevant parts list to check the part numbers of any replacement parts. A fault on the machine may have several causes. To help locate the fault, consult the chapter on "Troubleshooting" and the "STIHL Service Training System" for all assemblies. Refer to the “Technical Information” bulletins for engineering changes which have been introduced since publication of this service manual. Technical information bulletins also supplement the parts list until a revised edition is issued. The special tools mentioned in the descriptions are listed in the chapter on "Special Servicing Tools" in this manual. Use the part numbers to identify the tools in the "STIHL Special Tools" manual. The manual lists all special servicing tools currently available from STIHL. Symbols are included in the text and pictures for greater clarity. The meanings are as follows: In the descriptions: N Action to be taken as shown in the illustration above the text – Action to be taken that is not shown in the illustration above the text In the illustrations: A Pointer a Direction of movement @ 4.2 =Reference to another chapter, i.e. chapter 4.2 in this example. Service manuals and all technical information bulletins are intended exclusively for the use of properly equipped repair shops. They must not be passed to third parties. Servicing and repairs are made considerably easier if the machine is mounted to assembly stand (3) 5910 890 3100. To do this, secure the mounting plate (2) 5910 850 1650 to the assembly stand with two screws (1) and washers. The screws must not project since they, depending on the machine, may damage housings when the machine is clamped in position. The above operation is not necessary with the new assembly stand 5910 890 3101 since the mounting plate is already fitted. 1 2 3 219RA000 TG

4 MS 311, MS 391 Engage the bar mounting studs in the outer bores in the mounting plate and secure the machine in position with the nuts (arrows). Preparations for servicing Remove the chain sprocket cover, saw chain and guide bar before carrying out repairs or mounting the machine to the assembly stand. Always use original STIHL replacement parts. They can be identified by the STIHL part number, the { logo and the STIHL parts symbol K This symbol may appear alone on small parts. Storing and disposing of oils and fuels Collect fuel or lubricating oil in a clean container and dispose of it properly in accordance with local environmental regulations. 216RA000 TG 1.2 Safety Precautions If the machine is started up in the course of repairs or maintenance work, observe all local and country- specific safety regulations as well as the safety precautions and warnings in the instruction manual. Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel and can be explosive in certain conditions. Always wear suitable protective gloves for operations in which components are heated for assembly or disassembly. Improper handling may result in burns or other serious injuries. Do not smoke or bring any fire, flame or other source of heat near the fuel. All work with fuel must be performed outdoors only. Spilled fuel must be wiped away immediately. Always perform leakage test after working on the fuel system and the engine. Always replace damaged parts. Check disassembled parts for wear or damage before re-installing – replace as necessary. Run the machine only with the shroud mounted in position – there is otherwise a risk of injury from the fanwheel and a risk of engine damage due to overheating. The chapter on tightening torques lists all machine components that have to be tightened to a specific torque or coated with threadlocking adhesive. The specifications must be maintained when tightening down screws, nuts and other fasteners in all the procedures described in this service manual. Fuel system – hose barb connectors Pull off or push on fuel hoses in line with the connector, preferably by hand, to ensure the tightness of the fuel system. Avoid damaging the hose barb – do not use sharp-edged pliers, screwdrivers, etc. Do not cut open fuel hoses with a knife or similar tool. Do not re-use fuel hoses after removal. Always install new hoses – fuel hoses can be overstretched during removal. Install new fuel hoses either dry or with the aid of STIHL press fluid, b 14. Other press fluids are not approved and may result in damage to the fuel hoses. Coat the ends of the hoses and the connectors with STIHL press fluid and then push the new hoses on to the hose barbs, b 14.

6 MS 311, MS 391 2.5 Tightening Torques DG and P (Plastoform) screws are used in polymer and light metal components. These screws form a permanent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as necessary without impairing the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is observed. For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.

7 MS 311, MS 391 Remarks: 1) Loctite 242 or 243, medium strength 2) Loctite 648, high strength 3) Screws with antifricton coated binding head 4) Screws with micro-encapsulated binding head 5) Degrease crankshaft/flywheel and mount oil-free Use the following procedure when refitting a DG or P screw in an existing thread: Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly. Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque. Coat micro-encapsulated screws with medium-strength threadlocking adhesive before re-installing. This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread and weaken the assembly. Power screwdriver setting for polymer: DG and P screws max. 500 rpm Do not use an impact wrench for releasing or tightening screws. Do not mix up screws with and without binding heads.
