Made in America: A significant proportion of STIHL products available in the United States are manufactured within the country, using U.S. and global materials.
Intellicarb Compensating Carburetor: The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes partially clogged or restricted, maintaining the engine's correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ utilizes clean-side air from the air filter to control the diaphragm and fuel flow. As the air filter becomes dirty and limits airflow to the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system compensates by adjusting fuel flow. This contrasts with typical carburetors that draw air from the "dirty" side of the airbox.
Translucent Fuel Tank: A see-through fuel tank allows operators to easily check the fuel level before commencing work.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature: Products bearing the STIHL Inc. "Caring for Nature" seal demonstrate a commitment to environmental conscientiousness by emitting zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines "low exhaust emissions" as surpassing EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
Simplified Starting Procedure: A simplified starting process saves time and reduces the likelihood of engine flooding during ignition.
Purge Pump Primer: The purge pump primer feature facilitates fuel priming of the carburetor, making starting easier. The system is designed to prevent over-priming and flooding of the engine if the choke is not disengaged after ignition.
